Hello, Neighbors!

The Hello Neighbor 2 Beta has just received an update! This 1.1 update is mostly technical and live now if you can't wait to jump in and test it out. But if you wanna check out the patch notes first you'll find them down below! And for anyone just tuning in and asking "What Beta?", we've got you covered there too, so keep reading!

So First things first, what can you look forward to in the Beta and how do you get your mitts on it? Let’s get into it. You may have noticed there are two editions currently available for pre-order. The Hello Neighbor 2 Standard Edition pre-order will contain the full game on launch + instant Beta access once your pre-order is completed. While both versions will grant you Beta access the Deluxe Edition comes with a few pretty sweet extras. Namely, 3 brand new DLC available on launch, and 5 days of Early Access to the game prior to its full release on December 6th, 2022!



The Beta itself is what we like to call the Encapsulated Hello Neighbor 2 Beta Experience. While Hello Neighbor 2 is still in development, we're excited to bring you a slice of how the final game will look and feel with many of its new locations, residents, and visuals. Certain gameplay elements such as breakable windows and boxes will be waiting for you in the full release. And did we mention the Beta is spoiler-free? We’re saving all of the biggest secrets for launch day so feel free to dive right in!

Now before we get to informational bits we are going to take a moment to shamelessly plug our new Hello Neighbor 2 merch because it's really cool and our artist worked really hard on it.
