Reus 2 gets new release date (demo is out now)
Reus 2 needs a bit more time in the oven before it’s ready to drop.
The god game/city builder, which is developed by Abbey Games and published by Firesquid, is now set for a May 28 release on PC via Steam. The game was originally set for a May 23 release. A demo for the game is available right now here as part of Steam’s Earth Appreciation Festival, which runs this week. More information about this event can be found here.
A synopsis for Reus 2 reads:
In Reus 2, players control giant godlike creatures with their unique biomes associated with them (taiga, rainforest, ocean, etc), shaping planets and setting human aspirations at their own pace, without a timer. Their actions will guide and inspire humanity: leaders, inventions, buildings, choices of development, and more will depend on the players’ nature. As humanity evolves, players will decide whether to support their aspirations or create challenges. If they are not satisfied with the result, they can always start a new humanity.
Reus 2 offers strategic planning and replayability with diverse ecosystems and organisms. Players will search for combinations of giants and environments that produce unique results, breathing life into planets with various inhabitants and shaping humanity’s fate. Studio Abbey Games is using its long-time expertise with the god game genre (Reus, Godhood) to polish this sequel and take the genre forward.
