When is the Monster Train 2 Release Date?

  • Monster Train 2 will launch on May 21 for PC, PS5, Switch, and Xbox Series X.

If you’re excited about Monster Train 2 after watching its latest trailer, I recommend checking out the original game first. The initial Monster Train is priced at $24.99 and offers great value for money, but it can also be played via Xbox Game Pass. If you have an active Xbox Game Pass subscription, you’ll be able to enjoy Monster Train on both PC and consoles, making it convenient to play the original before the sequel launches on May 21st. The game is relatively brief if your goal is merely reaching an ending, but those aiming for 100% completion should anticipate spending around 100 hours playing this roguelike deckbuilder.

For now, you can find the initial version of Monster Train on PC, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch. Interestingly, there hasn’t been an announcement regarding a Nintendo Switch 2 edition for Monster Train 2, despite the game being expected to launch around the same time as Nintendo’s next-gen console. Since the Nintendo Switch 2 is backward compatible, it means that even if Monster Train 2 doesn’t have a specific release on the system, you’ll still be able to play it on the Nintendo Switch 2.
