Curious Expedition 2 will exit Early Access and launch for PC via Steam in early 2021 for $19.99 / €19.99 / £19.99, followed by PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Switch later in 2021, publisher Thunderful and developer Maschinen-Mensch announced.
“We want to thank our Early Access community for helping us via their feedback to continually add to and improve Curious Expedition 2,” said Maschinen-Mensch producer Lorenzo Pilia in a press release. “We are close to having the game ready to ship, but need a little more time for it to meet our standards for the 1.0 release. For PC players the Early Access version is already in a very polished state, so if you have an appetite for adventure, don’t hesitate to pick up Curious Expedition 2 today!”
Here is an overview of the game, via its Steam page:
