Shochiku Games announced on September 29, 2026 that it will release the digging simulation adventure game A Game About Digging A Hole Together in late 2026 with indie publisher rokaplay. Development is handled by Mipumi Games, working with the developer of the previous game, and the title arrives on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC through Steam, Epic Games Store, and Microsoft Store. The price is undecided. The game supports online co-op for up to four players with cross-platform play, described as the most requested feature from players of the first game. The core loop stays the same: dig, sell what you find, upgrade equipment, and dig deeper. New terrain and tools have been added, the systems were rebuilt from scratch, and the setting shifts to what appears to be a tropical beach. Features drawn from player feedback include greater dig depth and hidden elements.
