I was surprised to not see a separated new topic for this news. 2026 is earlier than what I was expecting (2027) but it's not surprising considering they probably have many assets for the first movie like environments (Mushroom kingdom), or main characters already rigged, and all.

Not a big surprise, but still welcome regardless. Loved the first movie and hope the sequel is even better.
