AI Summary
Pony Island 2: Panda Circus launches on April 28 next year. Players must escape a wicked underworld god using ponies and wits. Daniel Mullins continues the eccentric universe after Inscryption.

Look, let's be honest, Daniel Mullins Games caught everyone's attention when Inscryption bagged the Game of the Year award at the 2022 GDC Awards, and now the developer has finally dropped the release date for the upcoming Pony Island 2: Panda Circus (hereafter Pony Island 2).
During Gamescom Opening Night Live on August 26, Daniel Mullins Games announced that Pony Island 2 will officially launch on April 28 next year. The title follows the rather unfortunate journey of a young wanderer trapped in an underground prison following a sudden demise, as the wanderer attempts to escape from a wicked god of the underworld while protecting their soul and sanity.
Along the way, you will need to rely on ponies, USB drives, and your own wits to solve a series of rather bizarre puzzles. Bartering with local villagers to secure clues for these puzzles is also very much on the table.
Daniel Mullins is a rather notable indie developer who made a name with Inscryption, a title praised for blending horror and deck-building mechanics. Following that, the original Pony Island, released in January this year, managed to rack up over 14,700 reviews on Steam with a 'Very Positive' rating. Now, the developer is continuing that brilliantly eccentric universe with this sequel.





2022 GDC 어워드에서 올해의 게임에 선정되며 눈길을 끌었던 인스크립션 개발사의 신작 '포니 아일랜드 2: 판다 서커스(Pony Island 2: Panda Circus, 이하 포니 아일랜드 2)'의 출시일이 발표됐다.
다니엘 멀린스 게임즈는 26일 열린 게임스컴 오프닝 나이트 라이브를 통해 포니 아일랜드 2를 내년 4월 28일에 발매한다고 밝혔다. 이 게임은 갑작스러운 사망으로 지하 감옥에 갇힌 젊은 유랑자의 여정을 다룬다. 영혼과 정신을 지키며 지하 세계의 사악한 신으로부터 탈출하는 과정을 그려낸다.
그 과정에서 조랑말, USB 드라이브, 플레이어 본인의 재치를 활용해 기괴한 분위기를 풍기는 여러 퍼즐을 풀어나가야 한다. 마을 사람들과 물물교환을 하며 퍼즐에 대한 단서를 확보하는 것도 가능하다.
다니엘 멀린스는 인스크립션으로 인지도를 확보한 인디 개발자다. 인스크립션은 공포와 덱빌딩을 결합한 게임성으로 호평을 얻었다. 이후 올해 1월에 출시한 포니 아일랜드 1편도 스팀에서 리뷰 수 1만 4,700개 이상에 '압도적으로 긍정적'을 달성한 바 있다. 그리고 이번에 후속작으로 독창적인 세계관을 이어간다.
