I didn’t even know there was a sequel!
After finishing development of the classroom favoriteChip’s Challenge, creator Chuck Sommerville got to work on a sequel and, two years later, finished it. But before the game was released, the rights were sold to a new owner who wanted him to fund the publishing himself. He couldn’t.
That was decades ago. More recently, Sommerville has been negotiating with the trademark owners to just release the damn game already. It’s been so rough, he “generally thought the only wayChip’s Challenge 2was ever going to see the light of day was by having my wife leak it on the internet on my death.” It took nearlyfive yearsof back and forth, but it’s finally happening.Chip’s Challengeand itsunreleased sequelwill be available on Steam starting Jul 01, 2025. Crazy.
There’s going to be a $4.99 bundle with both games plus an Editor for the sequel, or you can download everything standalone. The originalChip’s Challengewill be $1.99 if that’s all you want.
Upon hearing the news, Chris suggested a Steam portJezzBallwhich, man, I haven’t thought about that nerve-wracking game since I was a kid. My library feels incomplete without it.
