Overview
- Amanita Design publicly announced Machinarium 2 on Thursday and published a Steam page that lets players add the game to their wishlist while giving no release date.
- The sequel follows Josef and Berta after they crash‑land in the Barrens and discover a hidden valley home to two robot tribes that are slowly running out of power.
- Players will control both Josef and Berta, switching between them freely to use unique abilities to solve puzzles while the game communicates through icons and gestures rather than written text.
- The game is billed as fully hand‑drawn with full gamepad and mouse support, and Tomáš Dvořák (Floex), the original Machinarium composer, is confirmed to return for the soundtrack.
- The announcement ends a 17‑year gap since the original Machinarium and continues Amanita’s pattern of long hiatuses between franchise returns, leaving fans to watch for future platform or release details.
