Slime Rancher has been a huge success since its initial launch capturing the attention of casual gamers and indie game lovers on Twitch. And now, Slime Rancher 2 gameplay looks to show that the game is series is set to do it all over again with a more visually vibrant sequel.

Showcased in the Xbox and Bethesda Games Showcase, the latest gameplay trailer for Slime Rancher 2 confirms a Fall 2022 release window for the slim hunting sim experience. Unfortunately, we still don’t have a firm date.

We also get a look at far more of the unique slimes and environments that developer Monomi Park is adding to the Xbox Series X|S and PC follow-up that will launch on Game Pass. The gameplay trailer touches a bit on the narrative as well as the general farming of the slimes in your base. We also see new environment mechanics like puzzles.
