We hope you're enjoying Steam Next Fest and are discovering lots of fun demos, don't forget to come check out our team as we play through our own New Demo! And tomorrow we'd like to invite you to take a break, grab a snack, and stop by The Hello Neighbor 2 Steam page on Oct 4th as some of the dev team will be holding a low-key Q&A session in the stream chat! 💬
See you at 11 AM CEST / 2 AM PST sharp, don’t be late!
We can't wait to see you, until then enjoy Steam Next Fest and jump into the New Demo if you haven't yet! If you're currently playing through or have finished the Demo, please be sure to let us know what your favorite parts were in the comments or join our Discord server!. We've got dedicated channels just for feedback there as well.
But wait, there's more to come on October 4th! On this day, we’ll have some of our development teammates in the Netherlands joining us for a low-key Q&A session in the stream comments! So make sure to join us here at 11 AM CEST / 2 AM PST sharp!
It feels like it was only last week the last time we talked...oh wait, it was! We must have lost track of time because we were too excited preparing for the BRAND NEW DEMO that just went live! This time, we visit a familiar and rather in(famous) locale, but something feels a bit strange. Well, more strange than usual, that is.
Come in, come in. Be sure to step over the screaming rubber chickens there, and don't mind the seven-foot-tall stuffed rabbit in the corner, it doesn't bite. And no, it didn't just move. Grab your press ID and tighten those high-top laces, it's time to return to the house where it all began in this self-contained demo experience!
Check out the Demo Teaser!
Unraveling an entire town's twisted web of mysteries is going to be a long and tough job for all you junior investigative journalists. So to keep those skills sharp, why don't we start with a single house? Reclusive inventor Theodore Peterson has something to do with the recent string of missing children reports in the town of Raven Brooks, you just know it. It's up to you to find out exactly what he's hiding in this one-shot, spoiler-free adventure. Just tread carefully... and watch your back!
Make sure that you have Hello Neighbor 2 on your wishlist to be in the know about any news & updates leading up to our full game launch. [/b] And if you want to be one of the first to set foot in the open world of Raven Brooks on December 6th, you can pre-purchase the Hello Neighbor 2 Standard or Deluxe Editions. With the Deluxe Edition containing 3 brand new DLC on launch, and 5 days of Early Access to the game prior to its full release!
If you liked the Demo, please feel free to join our Discord server. We have dedicated channels just for feedback and we’d love to hear what you think, see you in Raven Brooks!
They say you can't go home again, but we say there's nothing stopping you from visiting your old Neighbors from time to time. Sharp-eyed investigators may have recently noted some things looking a bit strange around Mr. Peterson's house, (and we have a high bar for strange here in Raven Brooks). If you’ve been wondering why there are so many odd pillows strewn about, whats with the bunny, or just what exactly was going on in the bathroom that required so many screaming chickens, we have fantastic news for you! 👀
Aspiring journalists will be able to jump in and explore all this and more with a Brand New Demo coming to Steam on September 20th for a limited time! Grab your sneakiest shoes and get ready for a self-contained stealth horror adventure separate from our upcoming full release coming on December 6th!
Happy Friday Neighbors! We’ve teamed up with Versus Evil to bring you a surprise crossover!
During this event, players can jump into the Eville Beta August 22nd through September 5th and unlock the Mr. Peterson avatar! Once the event is over he will return to Raven Brooks to prepare for the Hello Neighbor 2 launch coming Dec 6th. Be sure to sign up for the Eville Beta so you don't miss him!
While we're on the subject of our long awaited launch, dont forget that every HN2 pre-order comes with instant beta access, and our Deluxe edition's got a few wicked extras as well!
The Hello Neighbor 2 Standard Edition pre-order will contain the full game on launch + instant Beta access once your pre-order is completed. While the Deluxe Edition comes with Instant Beta access, 3 brand new DLC available on launch, and 5 days of Early Access to the game prior to its full release on December 6th, 2022! See here for additional Hello Neighbor 2 Pre-Order options
Secret Neighbor Steam has received a rather diminutive (and not at all unsettling) update and you may see a familiar "face" on login. 🎭
For anyone who’s wished you could cop some of our famous convention swag, today’s your lucky day as we’ve put the 2020 convention-exclusive Neighbor mask in the game! But what does that have to do with Hello Neighbor 2 you ask?
The Hello Neighbor 2 Beta has just received an update! This 1.1 update is mostly technical and live now if you can't wait to jump in and test it out. But if you wanna check out the patch notes first you'll find them down below! And for anyone just tuning in and asking "What Beta?", we've got you covered there too, so keep reading!
So First things first, what can you look forward to in the Beta and how do you get your mitts on it? Let’s get into it. You may have noticed there are two editions currently available for pre-order. The Hello Neighbor 2 Standard Edition pre-order will contain the full game on launch + instant Beta access once your pre-order is completed. While both versions will grant you Beta access the Deluxe Edition comes with a few pretty sweet extras. Namely, 3 brand new DLC available on launch, and 5 days of Early Access to the game prior to its full release on December 6th, 2022!
The Beta itself is what we like to call the Encapsulated Hello Neighbor 2 Beta Experience. While Hello Neighbor 2 is still in development, we're excited to bring you a slice of how the final game will look and feel 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? We’re saving all of the biggest secrets for launch day so feel free to dive right in!
Now before we get to informational bits we are going to take a moment to shamelessly plug our new Hello Neighbor 2 merch because it's really cool and our artist worked really hard on it. Bring home a piece of Hello Neighbor 2 with our brand new Imbir plush! Lovingly designed by HN2's Lead Artist Elena, you can be sure every inch of this plush is extra huggable right down to the embroidered toe beans, adopt yours today!
We also dropped a whole batch of limited edition Hello Neighbor 2 enamel pins! You can snag your favorite character, or grab the whole set! You can find all our new merch in the tinyBuild Shop now!
