Taking place directly after the events of the original, players will explore the open world of Raven Brooks and search for the missing Mr. Peterson (the Neighbor), while being stalked by a creature controlled by self-learning AI.

Play as Quentin, a local reporter investigating why people have started to mysteriously disappear in Raven Brooks. A string of discoveries will lead you to an abandoned house occupied by a mysterious, raven-like being.

Explore the abandoned house from the original game, while being stalked by an AI, and see the gameplay expand into the open world of Raven Brooks, a sandbox playground where you need to scavenge for useful items while trying to not get caught by the inventive AI.

Unlike the original, where the AI navigated by manually placed waypoints, Hello Neighbor 2 features an AI where navigation patterns are fully dynamic. The mysterious creature will observe the player's movements and actions and will use that knowledge to prevent players from figuring out the secrets lying within the house and its surroundings.

In Hello Neighbor 2, players step into the role of Quentin, an inquisitive local reporter looking into a series of mysterious disappearances in the seemingly sleepy town of Raven Brooks. Players of previous games in the series might be quick to blame the reclusive and enigmatic engineer Mr Peterson, but it seems that everyone here has something to hide, and are willing to go to great lengths to keep their secrets buried.

The town of Raven Brooks is a living, breathing open-world space that will evolve over time. Every one of its colourful townsfolk is driven by a powerful shared neural network AI, capable of learning from their encounters not just with you, but all players worldwide.

With the townsfolk getting wise to your tricks, be prepared to adapt and improvise. It's going to take more than just journalistic instincts to crack this case. Stealth, evasion and no shortage of puzzling lays ahead. Just try not to end up on the growing list of missing persons yourself.

The development of Hello Neighbor 2 started before the release of the Secret Neighbor multiplayer spin-off and the brand-new story fits into the bigger Hello Neighbor cross-media universe, which features a best-selling books series, animated TV show pilot, comic book series, and an upcoming board game.

Hello Neighbor 2 is coming to the Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC (Steam) in 2022.
