With the original BOKURA having been released more than one year ago, fans of the game are surprised to see the announcement of a sequel.

What will BOKURA: planet be about?

BOKURA: planet will be, like its predecessor, a two-player puzzle game where each player has a unique view of the world.

Publisher Kodansha and developer Tokoronyori have announced that the game will launch for PC via Steam on April 24, 2025. Before then, we will also receive a special demo that will be released on January 16, 2025.

Here is some of the information on the game as shown on the official Steam page:

【The basic system is the same as the previous game... but it plays completely different】
BOKURA: planet requires two players using two machines to communicate to play this 2-player puzzle adventure game.
The two players must convey what they each are seeing to their partner and work together to solve the puzzles in each stage, but a new “push” action has been added to BOKURA: planet! Players can send each other flying as they play the game…
…which means that players can push each other off cliffs if one is in the other’s way. Cooperation alone might not be enough this time! Players must not only work together, but anxiously navigate the possibility of confrontation.
【Story】
The earth was destroyed, and the few survivors began anew from the Stone Age,
and a new civilization was built.
Eventually, they were able to journey into space,
and so they planned to investigate faraway planets.
However, the distance between the earth and those planets was great, and it would take several hundred years to complete the journey.
Therefore, those condemned to death row were chosen to carry out the investigation.
On the journey, the research ship breaks down and two crew members must make an emergency escape.
They make an emergency landing on an unknown red planet, and they both have their own reason why they must return to Earth.
Will they be able to return safely?
