What’s Coming Next?

Thanks so much for your continued support! We’re working hard on even more updates in the coming weeks.

• The roadmap at tk2.nolt.io will be updated in the next few days

• We’ll also be hosting an official The Karters 2 stream to talk with the community, set priorities, and plan the upcoming dev focus. Stay tuned for more info soon ( hopefully Monday - September 22th)

Future Plans

We’re preparing some major updates, along with game promotions to bring in new players - so stay tuned! And if you haven’t already, please consider leaving a review - it really helps us out!

Console Port News

We’ve officially started working on console versions of the game!

There’s still a long road ahead, but optimization and a Steam Deck pass will be our next big focus as well – aiming to make the experience perfect on both Deck and consoles.

Thanks again – and see you next week! 👋
