Dino Run 2 is the long-awaited sequel to the original prehistoric multiplayer platformer / racing game.
FEATURES
Choose from several species to play as, like the classic raptor, rolly stegosaurus, gliding archaeopteryx and beyond.
Customize your dino with a huge assortment of hats, helmets, skin colors and patterns.
Speed across a dynamically-generated prehistoric terrain, 2D platformer-style. No two levels are ever the same and you often have multiple paths to choose from.
Outrun a pyroclastic wall of doom that's constantly on your tail. Slip up or stop to admire the scenery and you just might go extinct. Beat the doom wall and find your sanctuary!
Collect hidden super eggs to rack up DNA, used to upgrade your stats between levels.
Earn bones and use them to unlock new areas of the game and other perks.
Race your friends in multiplayer matches, or just hang out in the lobby and chat.
Use sandbox mode to create your own physics contraptions, obstacle courses and mini-games.

Hello All,
The Kickstarter Campaign is over, but is it really? Apparently they allow late pledges now, so if you missed the initial window of opportunity, you can still back the project here and get immediate access to the Multiplayer Sandbox. We\'re also currently working towards our next stretch goal of SHINIES:

Embrace your inner archaeologist and hunt down these super-secret relics hidden across the world - then display them in your Sanctuary to show off your skills. Each Shiny comes with a unique detail card to examine, complete with fun facts and higher-resolution art of your prize.
Pivot Creations
The community is learning the newly added pivot feature along side of us, and has already come up with some clever uses for it, including a 6-hole golf course and a stealthy egg-heist:

Streaming Updates
We\'ll be streaming every Friday at 3 PM EST from now on, removing the Tuesday streams. Check out the end-of-campaign 3 hour mega-stream VOD here . Every Friday we\'ll be checking out new community creations, previewing upcoming Dino Run 2 features and working on music.
Thanks again for an amazing campaign! There\'s a lot more work ahead us, but we are energized by the response we\'ve had to the current sandbox. Can\'t say the same for this guy though:

Hello all,
We just launched the Dino Run 2 Early Access Kickstarter Campaign. Check it out here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/pixeljam/the-dino-run-2-early-access-campaign?ref=9aoxr8
[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/44751000/99274ea444b356efb94e7d35b7844e9e47ebc867.png\"][/img]
We\'ve been working on this game (and campaign) for a very long time, as many of you know. This is the big moment where we gather all dino-fans and rally around making the Dino Run 2 Early Access launch as awesome as possible.
All backers $10 and over will get immediate access to the Multiplayer Sandbox, where you can explore and experiment, design & destroy, hang out and have fun alone or with friends.
[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/44751000/3f1c7e23b2f891a3e5051580a3045158574ade27.gif\"][/img]
Please note that we cannot give Steam Keys to backers until the game launches on Steam, which will be sometime in 2026. We\'ll supply a direct download link for now.
Show us what you\'ve made with it in the dr2_sandbox_creations channel on Discord as well. The community is already creating some pretty impressive stuff, and they often share their save-files so you can check them out yourself...
[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/44751000/f7daf40371f1ce3d195866d7ccf7546dbbf54ae2.png\"][/img]
Please share the campaign far and wide! We\'ll gladly accept as much support and funding as the world would like to give... it will all make the game that much better.
Thanks for the (potential) support!

Hello all,
We've been hard at work on Dino Run 2 since the last announcement, and we're happy to report that the Multiplayer Sandbox is ready to distribute to all backers, patrons and funders. We start rolling it out today!
If you supported the campaign in the past, be on the lookout for an email, Discord ping, Kickstarter update or Patreon post in the coming days.
We're also about to launch a Kickstarter campaign on September 2 to help us get to Early Access launch, and you can follow it here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/pixeljam/the-dino-run-2-early-access-campaign
Everyone that pledges to this campaign will get immediate access to the Multiplayer Sandbox, regardless of the campaign reaching its funding goal.
If you have access to it now, we hope you enjoy the new build - it's massively improved from the last version. if you don't, you'll be able to play it in September!
Take care,
-Miles @ Pixeljam

Dino Run 2 has been a long time coming.
We dreamt it up over 10 years ago, ran an over-ambitious kickstarter for it in 2013 (which did not reach its goal), and followed it up with a very realistic campaign in 2019, which saw enough success to get us tinkering with the game's basic systems from 2019 to 2022.
Development was rocky during that time though, to put it mildly. Mid-2022 we pushed the RESET button and started from scratch. With the help of some new team members, the success of Nova Drift and the ongoing crowdfunding campaign , we have arrived where we are now, the SANDBOX ALPHA, which is totally playable and a solid foundation to the larger Dino Run 2 experience:
However, it's not ready for Steam yet. We'll be updating the current playable over the next year or so getting it *just* right for its big debut.
In the meantime, If you want to check out the current playable build, head on over to that campaign link above :)
Here's to a great (prehistoric) future!
