Publisher Devolver Digital and co-developers Terri Vellmann and Doseone have announced graffiti art sequel Sludge Life 2.

Sludge Life 2 is launching sometime later in 2023 for Windows PC (via Steam and the Epic Games Store). To celebrate the reveal, the original Sludge Life is now free on PC.

Here’s a rundown on the new sequel, plus a new trailer:

Big Mud is missing! Everyone’s favourite rapping frog has vanished, and his closest homie Ghost (that’s you) is on a mission to find him. SLUDGE LIFE 2 whisks you away to Ciggy City Suites, a luxurious multi-floor hotel heaving with secrets, gadgets, gags, peculiar characters, and ugly corporate architecture to makeover with your spray can.

Features

• SPRAY TO WIN – A hundred tag spots are hidden around the Ciggy City Suites and surrounding area, including some so well hidden we almost feel bad about it. Hunt them down, spray them, and let the soulless GLUG corporation know what’s what.
• MEET AND GREET – There are three times more NPCs in SLUDGE LIFE 2 than in the original game, which means even more citizens, fellow taggers, corporate stooges, and other assorted oddballs to meet and interact with as you explore a truly weird and wonderful open world.
• TOOLED UP – New items? We got ’em! With the Double Js you can double jump and sprint, while the Portable Launcher lets you throw yourself dramatically into the air. There are more, but we don’t want to spoil the surprise. Oh, and all the items from the original are back too.
• SOUND OFF – SLUDGE LIFE 2 features a bunch of new music too — including five killer new tracks from Big Mud himself. Explore the island, find the hidden master tapes, and bless your headphones with fresh beats and rhymes from the most amphibious rapper in the game.
