Brand new trailer
I have personally tested the multiplayer for them on Steam and it seems like a pretty damn fun game, will be picking up a copy myself that's for sure!

The release is set for May 15th on PC, Mac and Linux. Players that preorder now get the game for 10% off the already-low $14.99 retail price and also get a free additional copy to give to a friend or jealously hoard for themselves. If that's not enough, anyone who preorders directly from 11 bit via anomaly2game.com will receive another bonus gift on launch day.

Anomaly 2 is a real-time strategy game that takes the tower offense concept from the award-winning Anomaly Warzone Earth and adds a number of important new features.

• Morph your troops into war mechs to discover the new face of strategy: each unit has a different mech form with various abilities to help you overcome specific combat situations.
• Engage in a multiplayer experience unique to Anomaly 2: tower defense vs. tower offense. Play as the towers and destroy the humans or lead the humans to annihilate the alien towers.
• Fight across a post-apocalyptic world in a new single-player campaign that offers a more intense strategy experience than the acclaimed original.
• Carve your own path to victory and create your ultimate battle squad. With more than a million tactical combinations to build your squad, your options in combat are nearly endless.
• Dive into a beautifully rendered world, thanks to the team’s new and improved visual engine.
• Experience alternative endings dependent upon your approach to enemy machines in the campaign.

So it's currently $13.49 and will be $14.99 at launch! Pretty damn good deal to get an extra copy too and some free gift on Launch day (maybe a copy of the original? who knows!).
If you buy from Steam rather than the website directly you get an additional 10% off if you own the first game but it doesn't state you get the free gift. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.
