Butterscotch Shenanigans announced that Crashlands 2 is launching this April 10 and to be available for the PC and mobile platforms via Android and iOS. This comedic open-world crafting RPG is the official sequel to Crashlands.
In the game, players get to Woanope in the role of Flux Dabes, the intergalactic trucker and disgruntled corporate employee. Flux Dabes has been away for years from the planet and has now decided to return in order to visit some old pals while also trying to recover from corporate burnout. However, even before the vacation can begin, a mysterious blast coming from the surface of the planet sends players crashing onto the planet below.
Once they get to the ground, players can experience the beautiful living wilderness where alien creatures hunt one another and graze on explosive fungi. They can also try to fish up wieldable sea creatures and deploy a wide range of gadgets, gizmos, traps, and weapons. All of these to try and fend off the dangers of Woaope as they harvest and quest. After a long day of adventuring, they can then build and settle into the comfiest quarters on the planet. It’s filled to the brim with all the pets, friends, and trophies collected along the way.
However, players are soon to realize that something's not quite right on Woanope. As the mysteries start to unfold, they’ll need to enlist the help of new friends and allies to get to the bottom of it all.
Players can choose to team up with ancient warrior Grandmammy, become a lab technician for tinkerer Kleewik, sneak into treacherous facilities with the Quadropi of the Fifth Arm, and unite the factions of Woanope to restore balance to the planet.
In a statement, Butterscotch Shenanigans CEOAdam Coster shared that since they launched the original Crashlands, they’ve always wanted to “come back for round 2.” However, he added that they wanted it to not only be bigger but also better in every way.
