Fans of chill god sims have been treated to a nice surprise at this year’s Steam Tacticon, as Reus 2, the sequel to the million-selling hit from Abbey Games, has been announced a decade on from the original’s release.
From the official press release:
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.
Features
- Control Giants: Step into the shoes of powerful giants as they shape planets. Foster or punish the development of human societies. The choice is yours.
- Experiment with Natural Resources: Using different combinations of flora and fauna together can help find new interactions between these elements and witness how they change the human societies that inhabit that world.
- Observe and Define Your Own Goals: Shape the development of humanity and watch as their societies evolve from primitive eras to advanced civilizations. Whether they are obsessed space explorers or self-destructive warmongers, who are you to judge humanity’s choices?
- Leave a Lasting Legacy: Each playthrough leaves a lasting legacy in the stars – and inspires new paths to take.

Reus 2 doesn’t currently have a set release date, but fans can already wishlist the game on Steam. No other platforms have been announced so far, but the original also came to PS4 and Xbox One so it’s likely we’ll see the sequel do the same. While the sequel sold well, it wasn’t without its detractors, so hopefully Abbey Games can build upon what worked and tweak what didn’t.
