While Hello Neighbor 2 is still in development, we're excited to bring you a taste of what visiting Raven Brooks will look and feel like with many of its new locations, residents, and visuals. Certain gameplay elements such as breakable windows and boxes will be waiting for you in the full release. And did we mention the Beta is spoiler-free?

For any new investigative journalists in our midst, welcome to Hello Neighbor 2! In this game, you’ll be playing as a journalist investigating a series of missing persons cases in the open world of Raven Brooks. Create your own adventure as you interact with several new characters, and take on Mr. Peterson; the prime suspect in the ongoing police investigation in Raven Brooks. Be careful though! The Neighbor is now designed with a neural network that learns from your actions.
🗺️ Explore Raven Brooks like never before!
You have gotten to explore a few different parts of Raven brooks throughout the years, but never like this! Hello Neighbor 2 will be the first game in the Hello Neighbor series to feature an open world environment. Combined with a beautiful new day/night cycle, you might just find yourself stopping mid-investigation to take in the sights.
🚔 Meet a host of new characters & discover their secrets!
With an expanded world comes an expanded roster of all-new characters to meet, surveil, and escape from! Is there something shady about the Taxidermist? What secrets could The Baker be hiding in those croissants? And what is The Mayor up to that would warrant getting an attack dog to keep safe. Wait...there are dogs now?!
🏡 Sneak, snoop, spy and stalk your way through new locations!
We know you’ve been dying to get a closer look inside The Neighbor’s new hideout since it’s original reveal. But unlike its predecessor, you’ll have to make your way far beyond just The Neighbor’s hideout to solve this case. Where are you looking forward to exploring first?

We’ve just wrapped up The Hello Neighbor Showcase, our online direct event outlining the many new and exciting updates to come throughout the Hello Neighbor Franchise. In case you missed the event let’s go over what you can look forward to in the coming months!
Secret Neighbor is sneaking onto a platform near you!
It’s been hard to keep this secret locked up but it’s escaped the basement and finally, we can share it.
We’re excited to announce that Secret Neighbor will be coming to PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, and iOS! Pre orders for Secret Neighbor on PlayStation will open on March 30th. The full game release for PlayStation and iOS will be April 29th, and release plans for Secret Neighbor on Switch will be announced later this Summer. Another important update, our PlayStation and iOS versions will be cross-play compatible!
In addition to this, we are working hard to provide all platforms a parity of content and synchronized updates in the future and will keep you updated on our progression towards this goal. Our 2021 Secret Neighbor Development Roadmap will also be on its way to you in the coming weeks, so keep a sharp eye out for even more updates very soon!
Hello Neighbor 2 - The AI takeover
Hello Neighbor 2 is nearing its crucial development stage and we are working hard on Alpha 2. There have been some big updates to the AI. Mr. Peterson is now even more capable of learning from previous player behavior in order to plan new ways to thwart you from learning his dark secrets.
But not just Mr. Peterson, every character you encounter in Hello Neighbor 2 will share the same AI core...though their motivations and stories may differ.
Hello Engineer - Full steam ahead
Hello Engineer Beta Testing is currently in progress and we will be sharing more exciting news on its development soon. In the meantime, check out some fun gifs!
The Guest is back and he’s...huggable?
In partnership with our friends at Snap Creative, we are very excited to bring you The Guest Musical Plush!
He is poseable, with wired limbs and a swivel head. And he has not one but two music boxes! Press his belly to play music, or press his bag for a surprise!
He is made from soft cotton fabrics and approximately 10.5” tall. Pre-orders are now open and the estimated delivery of this cuddly menace is September 2021.
And last but not least, over the past few months we’ve been working behind the scenes to update and improve Hello Neighbor mobile version performance and gameplay and will continue to make some additional updates moving forward.
