PowerWash Simulator is a surprisingly cozy game, giving the player a pressure washer and a truly grimy and grubby environment to clean up. The game has been so successful that there are crossovers with other pop culture titans, like Warhammer 40,000 or Tomb Raider. On Thursday, developer FuturLab announced a self-published sequel with improved visuals, a new campaign, and new hygienic gadgets to try. The game is expected to be released later this year on PlayStation, PC, and Xbox.
FuturLab released a short teaser trailer for the game, which doesn’t show too much in the way of new features, but it looks like the game will have all the satisfying spray action we have come to expect from the predecessor. What’s really exciting is the addition of split-screen multiplayer, so contractors can play with pals in person or online.
“The original game’s design was all about eliminating anything that detracted from the pure satisfaction of taking something dirty and making it clean. PowerWash Simulator 2 is all about adding in even more avenues for players to achieve that same sense of satisfaction, with new tools, features and quality of life improvements,” says Dan Chequer, Design Director at FuturLab, in a press release.
Players will get to see more of Muckingham, the original game’s setting, as well as travel out to places like Sponge Valley, Power Falls, and Lubri City. The press release also promises more effective soap, shared campaign progress online, and a customizable home base. While no release date was announced, FuturLab is expected to share more information in April.
