Irem recently updated the official website for Bumpy Trot 2 (Steambot Chronicles 2 in the west), indicating that the game is still alive and in development despite a lack of updates.
The website now features new screenshots on the splash page.
Bumpy Trot 2 was first announced at E3 2006. It is a sequel to the 2005-launched PS2 game Steambot Chronicles, which was met with positive reception.
