What is Melvor Idle 2?
Melvor Idle 2 is a single-player idle game and the direct sequel to Melvor Idle, developed and published by Games by Malcs. It is coming soon to Steam Early Access; the Steam store page describes it as a fresh adventure that balances deeper mechanics with zen-like progression. Almost every area of the original is said to be upgraded or enhanced, from a new look and feel to reworked skills and a completely reimagined mastery system.
Because the game is still in development, everything on this site is limited to what the developers have officially confirmed. We do not guess at numbers, skill lists or release dates. See the What We Know hub for the full source timeline.
