Amanita Design announces Machinarium 2 with Josef and Berta as dual protagonists

Amanita Design announced Machinarium 2 on X, along with a Steam page and a short video showing its hand-drawn animation style. The sequel picks up after the first game, with Josef and his friend Berta crash-landing in a place called the Barrens and finding a hidden valley home to two robot tribes, both running low on power. Players can switch between Josef and Berta at will as the pair solve puzzles together and communicate wordlessly in thought-bubble pictographs. No release date has been announced.
