"Dokapon Kingdom: Connect 2" is the sequel to "Dokapon Kingdom: Connect," scheduled to launch on PC, Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Switch 2 in summer 2027. Specific release dates and pricing have not yet been announced.
Currently available information does not mention PlayStation or Xbox versions, so the title is described as exclusive to Nintendo consoles. However, this does not mean the publisher has ruled out the possibility of releasing on other platforms in the future. The game continues to be developed by Sting, with Compile Heart and Idea Factory International handling publication.
The 2023 release of "Dokapon Kingdom: Connect" is a remake of the 2007 PS2 game "Dokapon Kingdom," which itself originated from the 1994 Super Famicom title "Dokapon 3-2-1." After its initial PS2 launch, the game was also released on Wii, before returning in 2023 as a remake.
In terms of review data, the original PS2 version and the 2023 remake have Metacritic media scores of 61 and 63, respectively; the remake has received nearly a thousand user reviews on Steam, with an 86% positive rating. Related analyses suggest that player feedback and the series' long-established niche audience may have contributed to the decision to greenlight a sequel, though this is not an official reason stated by the publisher.
