Final 12 months, the lovely life sim-esque recreation Cozy Grove got here out on Swap, and though we gave it a little bit of a lukewarm assessment on the time, we had been nonetheless gained over by its attractive visuals and its dedication to being a recreation that calls for little or no of your time.
With a frankly ludicrous quantity of updates since then, the sport has solely continued to develop and acquire extra followers — sufficient, evidently, for a sequel (tentatively titled Cozy Grove 2).
Here is what builders Spry Fox needed to say on their web site in regards to the reasoning behind a sequel:
One main problem we face is that persevering with to ship updates has grow to be more and more tough for us as tech debt builds up, regardless of our many makes an attempt over the previous 12 months to deal with that. On the identical time, a lot of the income and platform monetary assist that pays for all these free updates got here to us over a 12 months in the past with the launch of the sport.
All of this combines to make it extraordinarily tough to ship new content material and options that our neighborhood is telling us it desires (like for instance new places to discover.) So we’ve concluded that one of the best factor for Cozy Grove and for all its followers is for us to commit to creating a sequel!
The necessary issues to notice about Cozy Grove 2 are that it’ll take some time — Spry Fox are hoping to “have it finished by the tip of 2023,” however making no guarantees — and it’ll comprise new ghost bears, new environments, and the return of beloved characters like Flamey and Scoutmaster Blake.
We wish to do that proper and to carry you extra of the belongings you liked, plus utterly new options that can delight you. You’ve all been so sort and supportive to us and we would like Cozy Grove 2 to be worthy of you.
