The Grinch 2: Saving Christmas Announced for a Far-Off 2026 Release

Outright Games just dropped a surprising announcement: The Grinch 2: Saving Christmas is coming September 18, 2026. Yes, you read that right — a full two years from now. This unexpected sequel to The Grinch: Christmas Adventures sees the Grinch, now with a heart three sizes bigger, trying to prove his newfound kindness to Who-ville.
Developed once more by Casual Brothers, this 3D platformer picks up right where the last left off. Players join the Grinch and his loyal companion Max on a festive mission to construct Who-ville's most spectacular Christmas tree. Expect to explore vibrant, snowy landscapes, collecting ornaments and tackling platforming challenges across Mt. Crumpit and Who-ville’s streets. Go solo or team up in local co-op. Outright Games is known for its lineup of accessible, family-friendly licensed titles, and this looks to continue that trend, bringing Dr. Seuss's iconic character to a new generation. It launches on PC and all major consoles.
“Yes, you read that right — a full two years from now.”
Catzye Take
This announcement's long lead time is certainly a talking point, especially for a family-focused game. It's interesting to see Outright Games continue to invest in beloved holiday IPs. Fans looking for something light and cheerful will want to keep an eye on this as 2026 approaches.
