Ron Gilbert announced that production on Thimbleweed Park 2 has started, with a planned release in early 2028. The game will be self-published with a private investor. Returning team members include Mark Ferrari, Gary Winnick, David Fox, Octavi Navarro, Robert Megone, and composer Steve Kirk. The game will be available on Windows, Mac, Linux, GOG, and Switch. A Steam wishlist page is live. Gilbert plans a development blog.
What commenters are saying
The thread is overwhelmingly positive and excited, with many celebrating the return of the original team. Some commenters express anxiety about how a sequel can work given the meta ending of the first game; Gilbert teased that this is "half the fun." A few criticism comments about the first game's puzzles, writing, and fourth-wall-breaking are present but not dominant. Several users request a dev podcast like the original and a physical collector's edition.
