Background

The original game's success and the continued stream of love from fans made it impossible to ignore the potential of a sequel. Together with the desire to build a company (which became Hidden Folks B.V.) and the ambition to create a universe of games (what we call The Hidden Folks Universe), the game's original creators Adriaan and Sylvain were joined by Franz and Anastasia to officially start working on the sequel to Hidden Folks in 2026. The game was officially announced during the Wholesome Direct 2026 livestream.

Hidden Folks 2 looks like and builds upon the original game in every regard: the art style, the miniature landscapes, the game's design, the cheeky jokes, and the mouth-made sounds. True to the original, the game is all about exploring the little stories scattered throughout each landscape, without time limits or any pressure to score points. The sequel features completely new themes and areas, improved graphical quality, a second (not text!) clue for those in need, lots of new mouth-made sounds, and various quality-of-life improvements.

Hidden Folks 2 is set to come out in the first half of 2027, with at least 3 themes and each with 3 to 5 areas. The team will then continue to work on the game to add more themes and areas, all added for free.
