Lawn Mowing Simulator 2 Announced, Featuring Exciting New Additions

Skyhook Games has officially unveiled Lawn Mowing Simulator 2, marking the continuation of the popular `simulator` game trend. This new installment brings a significant shift that players should note immediately.

Self-publishing

Following a successful collaboration with Curve Games on the first installment, Skyhook Games will now self-publish Lawn Mowing Simulator 2. This strategic decision means the studio will bear full developmental and financial risks, a prospect described as `scary.` However, it also grants them `complete ownership of the project and control over the direction` of the game.

The developers acknowledged the current challenging climate within the video game industry, noting widespread game cancellations and job losses. This difficult environment, they explained, makes their choice to self-publish `even more terrifying.`

Despite securing `enough funding` for Lawn Mowing Simulator 2, largely due to the success of its predecessor, Skyhook Games is also initiating a Kickstarter campaign. The goal of this campaign is to raise additional capital to enhance and expand the game`s planned features.

What`s new in Lawn Mowing Simulator 2?

Lawn Mowing Simulator 2 is set to deliver an `expanded take on professional lawn care.` Key new features include a fresh USA-based setting, an increased selection of mowers and string trimmers, innovative `new grass tech,` a complete `total overhaul` of the career mode, and the highly anticipated addition of leaf blowers – a feature frequently requested by fans.

Skyhook confirmed that leaf blowers, a long-requested item, will be a core part of LMS2, used for clearing both leaves and grass clippings. To make this feature truly engaging, the game will implement a system allowing players to blow around `tens of thousands of leaves at once.`

Lawn Mowing Simulator 2 is currently under development for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. A specific release date has not yet been announced. Players interested in learning more or supporting the project can look forward to the upcoming Kickstarter campaign.

Simulator games, known for their relaxing and `zen` qualities, continue to enjoy significant popularity. Notably, the original 2021 Lawn Mowing Simulator once surpassed Call of Duty: Warzone in Twitch viewership for a certain period, highlighting its appeal.
