If you stick around long enough to get to page 7, then you'll notice that the release date is listed as 2019. If you want to have a little nosey through the other games, then you can check out the full report here.

Yes, we could potentially be in for a sizeable wait. So, in the meantime, why not check out our review of the original, where we praised it for being an accessible and surprisingly feature-rich building game.

And if you're far too impatient to wait, there's always the option to import the Japanese version when it releases on December 20th.

As a big fan of the first game, any news of the sequel is good news, even if we're still a tad uncertain of when exactly in 2019 it'll see the light of day. But don't worry, we'll be sure to let you know as soon as any further info emerges.
