Publisher PM Studios and developer Skrollcat Studio have announced Hoa 2, a 3D adventure sequel to the side-scrolling puzzle platforming game Hoa. It will launch for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Switch 2, and PC via Steam in 2026.
“Hoa has gone through a lot, and the world reflects what goes on inside her: freedom to explore with greater openness and mobility, but also a feeling of loss that comes with its own lesson,” said Skrollcat Studio game designer and founder Son Tung Cao in a press release. “Our task is to reflect this in both gameplay and world-building, and continue to tell Hoa’s story.”
PM Studios CEO Michael Yum added, “Hoa was a milestone for PM Studios, not just in terms of success, but how it connected to players on a deeply emotional level. It’s a unique blend of evocative storytelling, breathtaking art and intuitive gameplay that resonated strongly with players. We’re incredibly proud of the impact Hoa had and are proud to continue that journey with Hoa 2.”
Here is an overview of the game, via PM Studios:
About
Hoa 2 opens a long, long time after Hoa closed with its emotionally charged ending, leaving fans wondering what happened to the namesake little fairy. The cycle of life brings her back to a homeland reshaped by time, and her old friends have long since passed. Alone in a world both familiar and changed, Hoa must find new purpose in this gentle and heartfelt tale of change, of letting go and moving forward.
Building upon the original’s hand-painted artistry and evocative sound design, Hoa 2 expands onto new territory, lending its childlike magic to lush, playful 3D environments and mechanics. Featuring richer, multi-layered environments and curious creatures to explore with more freedom—both in space and time – time itself becomes part of the puzzles with shifting lighting, and seasonal changes reshaping the landscape, puzzles and narrative moments.
Hoa 2 represents the studio’s most ambitious chapter yet, welcoming returning fans and new players alike to its magical world, now beautifully transformed.
