As reported by GamesRadar<\/a>, Slime Rancher 2, the sequel to 2017’s first-person goop creature farming simulator, just launched in early access<\/a> to massive sales success. Posting on Twitter, the game’s director, Nick Popovich, characterized the game’s success as being beyond the team’s wildest expectations.<\/p>\n

“I had a pipe dream in my head that we could sell 100k copies of Slime Rancher 2 in the first 24 hours if the stars aligned,” Popovich wrote<\/a>. “We did that in less than 6 hours.” In a different tweet<\/a>, Popovich revealed that a single hour of sales beat Monomi Park’s previous best day<\/em> by “a literal order of magnitude.”<\/p>\n

Slime Rancher 2 takes the first game’s protagonist, Beatrix, to a new locale, the Rainbow Island, and expands on its lineup of goopy guys while also letting players build a fancy new conservatory. The community on Steam is responding very well to developer Monomi Park’s changes. The game has maintained an “Overwhelmingly Positive” score across 2,900 reviews and counting.<\/p>\n

My favorite takeaway was from user god gamer xchad<\/a>, who simply stated, “The voices in my head are quiet again thank you monomi park.” Damn, Slime Rancher 2 must be really good, maybe it could help me with my issues.<\/p>\n

To see if Monomi Park’s latest quieted the voices in our heads, be sure to check out our in-depth Slime Rancher 2 impressions<\/a>. You can wishlist the game now or purchase it yourself for $30 on Steam<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
