15 years after the first installment, World of Goo 2 has finally been released.

The version for Linux is DRM-free and can only be obtained for $29.99 via the developer's website.

Fun fact: the first World of Goo was the first commercial game I bought for Linux - even back then directly from the developer.

The developers explain why the game is not available on Steam:

Why is it on Epic and not on Steam?

World of Goo 2 would not exist if Epic had not helped us fund the game! We were able to hire artists and engineers for multiple years to help us build the biggest game we've ever made. We're grateful for this! You've likely seen similar arrangements with other games, and I imagine ours is comparable.

If you don't use Epic, that's ok. You can always get World of Goo 2 right here on this page, DRM-free, for Win / Mac / Linux. Just scroll up there. And if you have a Nintendo Switch, you can get it on the eShop directly on your device.
