Bits I found on Facebook regarding being official:
Quote:
I have contacted Team 17 regarding, assets or even right to release as genuine sequel. So stay tuned for update in this matter!
So far I know title is not registered! So I can use it ??
Music has been already sorted with Allister Brimble so only 1 missing piece left.

Not sure if they ever got the official 'blessing' by Team 17 though.

Does not seem like, so selling it would be a bit strange.. They changed stuff in the first level i can see, but not so much

I also had X2 for PS1 which looked amazing back then but was a real tough game.

Not played X2 for 3 decades but still remember how brutal it was, it was harder than some arcade shmups but looked amazing with all the glitzy transparency effects. I guess by writing to isolated bitplanes and careful pallet definitions you could do something similar.
