As an existing fan of the Two Point games, I’m very excited for Two Point Museum. It’s nice to have a release date, but Sega and Two Point Studios have announced that the release date is set for March 4th, 2025. That’s sort of far off. Maybe if I freeze myself…
I didn’t know this even existed until last month, but already the wait has been too long. I yearn for the hapless puppet inhabitants of Two Point County. The upcoming game has you managing a museum, and while it certainly has a lot that harkens back to Two Point Hospital and Two Point Campus, a lot has been changed to make it a fresh experience. I briefly got to touch it, but that has done little to settle my brain.
If you’re not familiar, Two Point Museum is a management game where you’re tasked with running museums. You send out explorers to gather/dig up/steal artifacts and then display them in a way that will convince patrons to empty their pockets into the donation bins.
Sega has also announced that preorders will be open starting today, and you’ll get some exclusive items for plunking down money in advance. It’s Sonic the Hedgehog-themed stuff, including Sonic and Shadow outfits for your staff, plushies for your gift shop, and wallpaper, flooring, and statues if your museum needs that touch of marketing. That might all sound weird, but Hospital and Campus both had this sort of product placement. I think someone on staff is a fan since they worked in a Crazy Taxi 3 arcade machine in Campus, for some reason.
There’s also a deluxe “Explorers Edition” which sounds totally Sega. Purchasing that gives you 5 days early access, an exclusive map location, a “pop up challenge museum,” explorer items and cosmetics, and 5000 Kudosh (secondary currency in the game). That sucks, but this is pretty common for Sega deluxe editions.
Regardless of your purchasing decision, Two Point Museum is out on March 4, 2025 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
