The sequel got a quick reveal trailer as well as a 2024 release year, but no release date beyond that.
World of Goo 2 also launched a website with the announcement, although it didn't give us too much more information other than it's "the biggest game we've ever made." That's a lot of goo.

It had a pretty simple but addictive premise, as players used small blobs of goo to help them reach goal points. IGN gave the original a 9/10, calling it a "an amazing downloadable PC game that you simply must buy."
