Classic puzzle game Machinarium is getting a surprise sequel [1]

['Gail Sherman']

Date: 2026-10-09  

The gorgeous, adorable puzzler Machinarium is getting a sequel seventeen years after its release. Machinarium 2 looks to be a worthy successor to the original, with everything that made it great. According to the publisher Amanita:

Every environment in the game is hand-drawn, in a style inspired by old master drawings and Renaissance landscape paintings, and every robot is richly animated. The soundtrack is composed by Tomáš Dvořák aka Floex, who scored the original Machinarium. His new work keeps the robot universe and acoustic textures of the first game, now elevated by symphonic arrangements.

Machinarium is a near-perfect game, with beautiful animation, clever but not punishing puzzles, no text whatsoever, and an absurdly good soundtrack. The original game is currently on sale for only $3.99 on Steam, with a demo available for Mac and Windows.

The sequel takes place immediately after the end of Machinarium, with two robots now working together, and I won't spoil that any further for those who haven't played the original. Amanita has not set a release date, so take your time and savor the original in the meantime.
