Hello! The world map for Beyond the Mountains II was completed earlier this week! Here's five screenshots from the upcoming game. Mild spoilers ahead! Please note that some larger spoilers (characters/monsters/pathways/etc) are removed from these screenshots.

I'll add more details as the game becomes closer to being complete. Here's what I can reveal so far.

1. This sequel takes place 80 years after the first game.
2. You will be playing as a new character. There will be old and new characters in this sequel.
3. This sequel directly ties into the first game.
4. You will be able to swim.
5. This sequel is substantially bigger than the first game. As a reference, the first dungeon in the sequel is larger than the last dungeon from the first game.
6. This sequel takes place on an entirely new continent, with a new (and larger) world map.
7. One item you unlock is a screwdriver.
8. This sequel has a tentative release date of Quarter 1 2025, with a Steam Page and trailer being released on Quarter 3 2024.


The sequel is infinitely more polished than the original game, and I've learned a lot while working on it. Because both games are made in the same engine, my intention is to polish the original game before releasing the sequel. As the sequel nears completion, I'll be turning my attention to the original game to give it some polish, particularly in the game-play area. The original game will remain free as a teaser for the sequel.
