Amanita Design has announced Machinarium 2, a sequel to the 2009 puzzle adventure Machinarium. The announcement comes with a trailer, but no release date has been provided.
All outlets frame the announcement as a long-awaited follow-up to the cult indie title, emphasizing its distinctive art style and memorable design centered on a robot adventure. Rock Paper Shotgun notes the original’s reputation among players and highlights Amanita’s broader reputation through other games, while also urging readers to revisit Machinarium ahead of the sequel. Kotaku and PC Gamer similarly describe it as a surprise, long-late sequel and reference the studio’s motivation for returning—citing the sense of urgency and the idea that the team is “not getting any younger,” amid broader world anxieties.
