Grounded 2 intelligence · Evidence checked
Grounded 2 is the direct sequel to Grounded, returning the four teens to Brookhollow Park in 1992. The live build is 0.5.1, released on 11 September 2026, while Into the Abyss / 0.5.0 remains the latest major content update. The game remains unfinished: Obsidian has not announced the Fall update's version number or exact date, and there is still no hard 1.0 release window.
This page gives the broad current picture. These commissioned Grounded 2 pages own the deeper answers.
The live-game essentials, kept separate from future plans and unresolved claims.
Released on 11 August, Into the Abyss opened Skunk Pond and expanded underwater progression with Swimming 2.0, Diving Suit progression, underwater building, the Omni-Clipper and the amphibious Toe Biter Buggy. It also added ziplines, repeatable MIX.Rs and the Stranger heat/O.R.C. systems to the current game.
Patch 0.5.1 improves Buggy perception so companions can join fights more reliably, adds Molar upgrades across Mega Milk, Milk and Moldy Milk Molars, and expands the available Milk/Moldy upgrade tiers. It also removes Infused Ooze and changes the Tier 4 Omni-Axe recipe, alongside a broad set of progression, Abyss, multiplayer, Buggy, MIX.R, UI and stability fixes.
The patch changes the current live state but not the major-content hierarchy: Into the Abyss remains the latest major update, and Fall 2026 remains the next confirmed major content gate.
The roadmap establishes planned content, not content already live. Patch 0.5.1 shipped on 11 September after 0.5.0.5. Whether another maintenance build will arrive before Fall is unknown; Obsidian has not confirmed the Fall update's exact version number or date.
Obsidian has explicitly described the next major content update as coming in Fall 2026. The reviewed first-party record does not establish that it is version 0.6, and no exact release date has been published.
Visible plan: the current Fall roadmap includes the Rotting Wood Pile, Potato Beetle Buggy, Termites, new armour and weapons, Yoking Press, SCA.B 2K Flavor Schemes and two concealed entries.
Evidence boundary: the concealed items remain unknown. Community guesses do not establish their identities, and the naming-vote winner has not been retained as first-party confirmation in the current Workspace.
No. It remains in Game Preview / Early Access and active development. The complete story is planned for 1.0.
No. 0.6 is a plausible inference from the previous major-version sequence, but Obsidian has not confirmed the Fall update's version number.
No hard 1.0 date or release window has been announced in the reviewed first-party material.
Useful deeper paths that matter, but do not need equal weight in the opening route set.
Current-state claims here are anchored to first-party Obsidian or platform material. The roadmap is treated as a statement of intent, not a delivery guarantee.
Reliability and review dates. Evidence cutoff: 25 September 2026. A new live patch, Fall update date/version, roadmap revision, platform change or 1.0 announcement should trigger a fresh review.
