Developer Abbey Games have announced Reus 2, the sequel to one of their biggest hits launched 10 years ago.

Reus 2 is set to launch on Windows PC (via Steam) sometime in the future.

Similar to the previous title, Reus 2 has players controlling giants to shape planets and guide humanity along many different paths whether peaceful or violent.

Here’s a rundown of the game, plus its reveal trailer:

Reus 2

In Reus 2, players can expect their giants to do much more than simply nurture planets for humanity’s benefit. They will also explore the fate of humanity in the cosmos of their creation. With the game’s civilization experiments, players can create multiple planets and explore how different human tribes react to the world that has been shaped for them. Players can also plan and discover strategic synergies within ecosystems, biomes, and between giants. Over time, players will discover more and more ways to bring life to their planets, with endless combinations of nature and different rosters of giants.

As humanity evolves, it will be entirely up to players to help them uncover both the best and worst of their destinies. Players can choose to foster and shape human aspirations helping them achieve their goals, or pave a more difficult road. Featuring meta progression and an adaptive experience, it’ll be up to players to decide what combination of challenging and relaxing gameplay they’d like. If something isn’t to their liking, players can always start a new humanity.
