Ron Gilbert says Thimbleweed Park 2 is in development and is expected to release in early 2028. In interviews and reporting across outlets, Gilbert describes the project as “not really a sequel, [and] not really a prequel,” framing it instead as a new installment within the Thimbleweed Park universe. The game is being developed following Gilbert’s earlier work on other projects, including a separate adventure title previously described as combining elements of classic action-adventure and dungeon-crawling concepts. That earlier game was canceled at the end of the previous year, but the development focus has shifted back to the Thimbleweed Park spirit, with Thimbleweed Park 2 positioned as the next major entry. Both sources agree on the characterization of the game’s relationship to the original and on the planned timing of release in 2028, without providing additional specifics about platforms, story details, or gameplay changes.
