Gothenburg, Sweden - March 8th, 2022 - Thunderful and developer Maschinen-Mensch are excited to announce that their critically-acclaimed roguelike exploration game, Curious Expedition 2 is coming to PlayStation®4 and Xbox One on March 17th. The game will also be playable on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S|X via backwards compatibility.

Curious Expedition 2 is a Jules Verne inspired pulp adventure in a reimagined version of the late 19th century that uses procedural gameplay and story elements to create completely unique and epic adventures every time you play. Both the players' character and those they recruit are all procedurally-generated with specific classes, 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!

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:
