In a thoroughly surprising announcement, World of Goo 2 is coming sometime next year, it was announced during Thursday’s The Game Awards.
The news comes 15 years after the original was released, so it’s a bit of a shock, but not an entirely unwelcome one. The sequel hails from 2D Boy and Tomorrow Corporation, the same indie developer and publisher behind the first game.
The sequel got a quick reveal trailer as well as a 2024 release year, but no release date beyond that.
World of Goo 2 also launched a website with the announcement, although it didn’t give us too much more information other than it’s “the biggest game we’ve ever made.” That’s a lot of goo.
The first game hit the Nintendo Wii and Windows in 2008, with the physics-based puzzle game quickly garnering a big fanbase. It had a pretty simple but addictive premise, as players used small blobs of goo to help them reach goal points. IGN gave the original a 9/10, calling it a “an amazing downloadable PC game that you simply must buy.”
And while a sequel’s been a long time coming, World of Goo got various other releases throughout the years, including one for Nintendo Switch in 2017.
