Curious Expedition 2 is the follow-up to the award-winning 19th century expedition simulation.

In a reimagined 1889, during the Paris World’s Fair, an immense discovery has been made: mysterious islands in the Atlantic ocean have begun to appear, only to vanish soon afterwards, as if by magic.

The three great Explorer Clubs of Paris are now funding expeditions to these strange islands in a bid to bring back treasures to the World's Fair. Take on the role of an intrepid explorer, assemble your crew, and discover all manner of unique cultures, flora, fauna, treasures and more. With a timeless art style inspired by the classic Franco-Belgian comics of the 20th century and an arrestingly charming orchestrated soundtrack, Curious Expedition 2 is a pulp adventure storybook come to life.

With no two adventures ever the same, your character and those you recruit are all procedurally-generated with a specific class, but with their own unique look, abilities, strengths and weaknesses. On your adventures, all manner of unforeseen circumstances can positively or negatively impact your progress, so careful resource and sanity management is needed to make it back home with your spoils - and your team! A world of unimaginable wonder and surprise awaits!

It’s time to collect more fame, science and treasure than ever before!

Curious Expedition 2 is coming to PS4 and Xbox One on March 17th, and will also be playable on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S via backwards compatibility.

The game’s Highlands of Avalon DLC will be available the same day, bringing a brand new island type to the base game, a new mechanic related to traversing hills and valleys, a new tribe called the Picts, eight new recruitable characters, new equipment, enemies and more!

Switch owners need not feel left out as the DLC is coming to their platform of choice on that very day, too.

To celebrate the announcement that Curious Expedition 2 will be available on PlayStation and Xbox on March 17th, a new trailer has been released for the game, showcasing its beautiful audiovisual direction, charming writing, accessible, yet deep gameplay and branching story systems:

“We are so excited to reveal that Curious Expedition 2 will soon be out on PlayStation and Xbox,” said Johannes Kristmann, Co-Founder at Maschinen-Mensch. Creating this game has been quite the journey in itself..For all you adventurers out there, we wish you good luck on your travels.
