Hey everyone! Get hyped because Planet of Lana II: Children of the Leaf is officially on its way! I'm so stoked about this. After the first game blew our minds with its stunning visuals and engaging puzzles, the sequel promises to take us even deeper into Lana and Mui's world.

For those who don't know, Planet of Lana is a cinematic puzzle adventure where you play as Lana, a young girl, and her animal companion, Mui. You two have to solve puzzles and overcome obstacles in a beautiful, yet dangerous world. It's giving me some serious Studio Ghibli vibes, and I am all for it!

Now, let's dive into what we know about the sequel. Children of the Leaf continues Lana and Mui's journey after they saved their planet. But, surprise, surprise, things aren't all sunshine and rainbows. They're now diving into the planet's mysterious past, and honestly, I'm dying to know what secrets they'll uncover.

The game promises a longer, more profound story with tougher challenges. This time, you'll be navigating icy mountains, deep oceans, and forgotten ruins. It sounds like we're in for a wild ride!

One of the coolest things about the first game was the bond between Lana and Mui, and it sounds like that's going to be even more important in the sequel. The developers are promising "evolved companion gameplay" with enhanced precision for Mui. I can't wait to see how this plays out in the puzzles.

Speaking of puzzles, get ready for a wider array of challenges. We're talking physics-based puzzles, hypnotizing creatures, and even controlling hybrid robots! It sounds like they're really upping the ante in terms of gameplay variety. Plus, if you like stealth, you'll need to use it a lot, and some fast reflexes!

The game will launch in early 2026, and it will be available on a bunch of platforms, including PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC (via Steam and the Microsoft Store). Oh, and did I mention it's coming to Switch 2 as well? Also, it's going to be on Game Pass, so if you're a subscriber, you're in luck!

I'm personally excited to see how the story unfolds and how the gameplay mechanics have been refined. Plus, the return of Takeshi Furukawa, the composer from the original game, is fantastic news. His music was a huge part of what made the first game so memorable. I am pretty sure Planet of Lana II will be awesome. What do you think?
