It's time to dust off your hammer - House Flipper is back in a brand-new fashion! It doesn't matter if you're a makeover veteran or if you're only starting out - you'll feel at home in no time!

In House Flipper 2, you are the foreman!
You get to decide what 'relaxing gameplay' means!

Sit back and relax, here comes the new age of House Flipper!

House Flipper 2 introduces new mechanics and revamps the ones from the original game. The good old hammer, the trusty paint roller, and the sturdy mop, all await your return! The new visuals make our fixer-uppers look crisp as never before!

The fixer-upper simulator gets flooded with cuteness in just a couple of months, and players can already take a sneak peek at some exciting shots in the teaser revealing the December 3rd launch date.

The Pets DLC has been on the drawing board ever since the release of House Flipper 2, and finally, after 3 DLCs and countless content updates, the House Flipper community will be able to adopt a fluffy friend to embark on more flipping adventures together.

Let’s take a look at what Pets DLC has to offer:

• Puffin Isle - a new region of Pinnacove to unlock
• 40+ dog and cat breeds, some with unique traits
• 30+ smaller pet species to adopt
• 10 pawesome jobs to bring the community together
• 10 unique houses purrfect for animal lovers
• 4 buyers with cuddly friends
• 4 pet-related item assemblies
• Hundreds of new items (cozy! rustic! Mediterranean!)
• A whole set of challenging new achievements

The exciting news about the launch date is just in time for Gamescom 2026, where the fans will have the chance to visit the House Flipper 2 booth, talk directly to the developers, and play the exclusive Pets DLC demo. You’ll be able to find the House Flipper 2 crew in Hall 10.1 - booth A042!

This project is by far the most anticipated content addition for House Flipper 2, and the teams at Frozen District and Frozen Way have confirmed it's their biggest and most ambitious DLC to date.

Because of that, the developers promised multiple devlogs leading to the grand release, so the community will be able to stay up to date on the progress in those final months.

From reference photos to Very Good Bois!

This very first devlog is about the bread and butter, the absolute core of Pets DLC - let's take a tour behind the scenes and show you what's currently going on in the "cats and dogs" department!

We're working hard towards those 40+ dog and cat breeds we promised, and we can happily report that we're getting close to the finish line with the 3D models! There are of course some rough edges we're still polishing, but the majority of our cute little actors are looking absolutely photogenic already - ready for their close-ups!

I really want to point out how much more advanced the appearance of all the pets is going to be compared to the Pets DLC you know from House Flipper 1.

We're taking a super close look at each of the breeds and making sure that we capture all the unique visual traits. Sometimes it's just an additional pair of wrinkles, other times it's the body proportions. Yes, we genuinely sit around debating dog wrinkles. This is the job.

The task usually starts with one of our 3D artists researching a given breed and then sculpting a high polygon model which serves as a prototype:

After that we're slowly shaping all of their distinct features using tons of feedback and iterating, iterating... iterating some more...

Then it's time for some proper optimization to make the model game-ready, followed by another round of final feedback.

It really is a process of its own, but after hours of work, when you finally see how complete and on point a breed looks, with all those tiny details capturing the exact vibe - chef's kiss! 😘🤌

But of course the whole point of the Pets DLC is to bring more than just beautiful static objects into the world of House Flipper 2. This is where another two key factors come into play: animations and behavioral patterns! 🐕

Our designers had to start with a long list of needed behaviors, and the animators started ticking them off one by one! Again, it's not a simple copy-paste for all the breeds - we’re making sure all the pets are carefully rigged. A Chihuahua and a German Shepherd do NOT move the same way, and pretending otherwise would haunt us forever! Getting the rigs and animations right for each breed is a big part of the development process.

After a couple of final touches and setting all of that up in the game, we end up with something like this handsome guy:

Keep in mind that all this is still work in progress and is subject to change!

Now... if you'd like to experience some of that in person, make sure to visit us this month in Cologne during Gamescom 2026! We'll be presenting the very first Pets DLC demo and giving away some hot House Flipper 2 merch!

Why renovate a house when you can just build one? Unleash your creativity in the Sandbox Mode! Use it to recreate real-life buildings or design projects that exist in your imagination. Remember: building from scratch is no easy task! But let's face it, it's definitely worth putting in extra effort to design the house of your dreams.

A new Story Mode offers players a chance to delve into engaging renovation challenges with narratives that uncover more about Pinnacove and its residents. Between the mountain tops and the endless sea, there lies the town of Pinnacove. A place where time slows down, and the friendly residents are ready to entrust you with their homes.

Can you discover some of the stories within these walls?

Your old pal Tom, who seems to know everybody in the neighborhood, will gladly share some local knowledge with you.

Currently available for PC (Steam), PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, House Flipper 2 is coming to Nintendo Switch 2 later in 2026.
