Skrollcat Studio and PM Studios have announced Hoa 2, a sequel to the 2021 puzzle-platformer, which will release in 2026. It will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC via Steam, and Nintendo Switch 2.
Michael Yum, CEO of PM Studios, describes what the announcement represents to its developers: “Hoa was a milestone for PM Studios, not just in terms of success, but how it connected to players on a deeply emotional level. It’s a unique blend of evocative storytelling, breathtaking art and intuitive gameplay that resonated strongly with players. We’re incredibly proud of the impact Hoa had and are proud to continue that journey with Hoa 2.”

The video’s description provides a further overview of the upcoming game:
Hoa 2 opens a long, long time after Hoa closed with its emotionally charged ending, leaving fans wondering what happened to the namesake little fairy. The cycle of life brings her back to a homeland reshaped by time, and her old friends have long since passed. Alone in a world both familiar and changed, Hoa must find new purpose in this gentle and heartfelt tale of change, of letting go and moving forward.
Building upon the original’s hand-painted artistry and evocative sound design, Hoa 2 expands onto new territory, lending its childlike magic to lush, playful 3D environments and mechanics. Featuring richer, multi-layered environments and curious creatures to explore with more freedom – both in space and time – time itself becomes part of the puzzles with shifting lighting, and seasonal changes reshaping the landscape, puzzles and narrative moments.
