It’s time to ruin friendships all over again, as Dokapon Kingdom is back with a sequel! RPG-style board game Dokapon Kingdom: Connect 2 will receive a worldwide release next summer, with support for English, Japanese, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, and Thai. Enjoy the game with up to four players, taking on monsters together. But what will you choose? Friendship or betrayal? Money or power?

It all starts with travelling across board game-styled maps, defeating monsters, saving towns, and earning money… but of course that’s not enough. You will need to attack your rivals, steal what they’ve got, and knock them out of the competition. After all, only the wealthiest player will be victorious.

Different spaces will trigger unique events. Visit villages, shops, and more. If two players land on the same space, it’s a head-to-head battle. Commands include Attack, Defend, Strike, and Magic, each with pros and cons. Predict your opponent’s move to gain the upper hand.

This entry in the Dokapon series introduces Cooperative Battles, where every player joins together to take on a powerful enemy for a huge pile of rewards—though it’s up to players to figure out how it’s split.

Here are the game’s key features, via Idea Factory International:

  • Reconnect in Dokapon Kingdom: Connect 2! – An all-new Dokapon adventure continues the friendship-destroying fun with the return of the classic board game-style gameplay that levels up all the shenanigans for you to enjoy solo, in up to 4-player couch co-op, or in 2-4 player online play.
  • Outsmart Your Frenemies with 10+ Job Classes – Begin with old favourites like Warrior, Magician, or Thief and master them, or meet certain conditions during your playthrough to qualify for new jobs that can turn the tables in your favour or maybe even grant you power from the gods!
  • Join Forces in Massive Co-Op Battles! – Put your friendships to the test in epic cooperative battles that can yield a mountain of rewards. But will everyone share the spoils fairly, or will someone try to take everything for themselves?

Developed by Sting and published by Compile Heart/Idea Factory International, Dokapon Kingdom: Connect 2 will be released for PC via Steam, Switch 2, and Switch in summer 2027.
