Crashlands 2 is out NOW!
I've been waiting to say this for FOUR HUNDRED YEARS:

Cue the air horns! Release the doves! Fire the cannons! (But not at the doves!)
What a journey it's been. The original Crashlands came out in 2016 (9 years ago!), and we've spent nearly the last 5 years working on this sequel. We've put all of our blood (ow!), sweat (ew!), and tears (dew!) into this thing, and I'm incredibly proud of what we've made with our tiny little team of desiccated husks. I hope you love it as much as we do!
We've already got some great early reviews and previews. I'll just plop my favorites here:
We already knew we made something good, but it’s still a huge relief to hear other people agree!
As much as I'd love to spend a bunch of paragraphs bloviating about what it took to make this game and all the great things people are saying about it, I want to let you go actually play it. So I'll just leave you with some pro tips to streamline your first session:
If you run into trouble, there are a few places you can get help:
I hope you have a blast!

P.S. Please drop a review! Those early reviews can really help a game be successful!
P.P.S. What happens next? Mostly we'll just have to see how the launch goes. But! We do have a couple of things in the pipe: Sam's working on an art book about the design and art of Crashlands 2, and we might even have... SURPRISE MERCH!?

We've already got some great early reviews and previews. I'll just plop my favorites here:
- Vice calls it "a Crafting/Survival Masterclass" in a review that’s so glowing it made me blush!
- Hardcore Gamer calls it "a crazy-fun adventure featuring a pair of ridiculously likable characters, set in a world that's usually bursting with humor but is smart enough to know when to take itself seriously"
- Wanderbots posted a charming preview video of the first hour of gameplay

As much as I'd love to spend a bunch of paragraphs bloviating about what it took to make this game and all the great things people are saying about it, I want to let you go actually play it. So I'll just leave you with some pro tips to streamline your first session:
- Explore! Try things! The game doesn't require you to do everything, but you'll have a lot more fun (and things will be better balanced) if you do more than just check off your quests. There are goodies and characters all over the map, so explore every nook and cranny.
- Harvest everything! Resources stay useful for quite a while, so you might as well harvest them as you run by. Then you'll already have them when you need them!
- Keep your research going! Return to your base often and talk to your Buddies to get your next Insights going. Each Buddy can only research one thing at a time, so returning to them often will let you get new stuff faster.
- You can change the difficulty at any time. If it's too hard, make it easier! If it's too easy, make it harder!
- You can continue your save across platforms if you get the game on Steam and mobile! Personally, I constantly bounce between my PC, my Android Phone, and the family Steam Deck.
If you run into trouble, there are a few places you can get help:
- Looking for guidance? Check out our help pages, the subreddit, or join our Discord to see if the community can give you some tips. Do some searches first!
- Found a bug (meaning something is BROKEN)? Report it to us!
I hope you have a blast!
