changedWhat to Expect? ːhopefulːCan I leak something before the event itself? Well, Daniel will quite likely send me straight to the darkest corner of the Earth Prison, so my lips are sealed. But if I could use 3 words to explain it?

changedBETA TEST | PHASE 2 ːlucif4rːA few months ago, we started our beta testing. Since then, the game has been constantly improving and evolving to be something better! Our testers' endless attempts to break the game are invaluable. Now, we need more testers to see if we can have them break what others could not. It is the perfect opportunity to be a part of Pony Island 2: Panda Circus' development cycle.

We’re excited to share that Daniel Mullins Games will be presenting... something... at Gamescom 2026.

That means you’ll be able to catch a glimpse of what we’ve been working on right alongside some incredible titles from across the industry! We just hope that ours is the only one with pandas, crazy clowns, underworld lords, souls, and the guy from G-

We’re preparing something special for this reveal. No long explanations just yet, but if you’ve been following us, you might already have a few ideas... and if not, this will be a good place to start.

You can bet it's time to show how MASSIVE the game's turned out so far... ːp03ː
