Maximum Entertainment has confirmed Smalland 2: Lost Realms, a direct follow-up to its open-world survival title Smalland: Survive the Wilds.
In its announcement the developer positioned the new entry as a prequel set before the arrival of the Giants, and said the Switch 2 version will arrive after other platforms with a current target of 2027.
The first Smalland release remains available for players on supported platforms while the studio prepares the next chapter.
According to the studio's announcement, Smalland 2 will expand the franchise's miniature-scale setting into a larger, more varied world.
The developer described the new adventure as a journey across the Lost Realms, where players — as members of the Smallfolk — will explore elemental biomes, encounter forgotten civilizations and investigate a looming prophecy that threatens their future.
The game places an emphasis on exploration, narrative setup and world-building that precedes the events of the original title.
Maximum Entertainment outlined several core gameplay and technical upgrades for Smalland 2.
The studio said the sequel will feature a broader map, deeper progression systems and expanded creature companionship mechanics, plus support for up to 10-player cooperative play.
New systems highlighted by the developer include an updated crafting framework, revised water and climbing mechanics, improved environmental effects and enhanced visual fidelity compared with the prior release.
The team also explained that players will be able to establish outposts, create trade routes between regions and collaborate with other survivors to grow communities across varied cultural regions and resource types.
Those features are intended to reinforce long-term progression and social play, particularly in co-op and persistent-session scenarios.
Maximum Entertainment shared an official reveal trailer alongside the announcement; the studio has not provided a precise release date beyond the 2027 window for the Switch 2 edition.
For players wanting to experience the series now, the original Smalland: Survive the Wilds remains available on current platforms.
We will update coverage when Nintendo Switch — or Switch 2 — release details for Smalland 2 are confirmed or if the studio shares additional platform-specific information.
