In 2018, our hard work came to fruition and Two Point Hospital was born into the world to much acclaim. After Hospital we had a dream of creating an entire world of these little people games within the place we call “Two Point County”, and in 2022 our latest game Two Point Campus was released. With us being a part of the Sega family, and with the success of Two Point Hospital and Two Point Campus, we’re now pushing forward with our next games to continue to make our “Two Point County” dream a reality!/span/divdivspan style="font-size: 11.0pt;line-height: 115.0%;" /span/divdivspan style="font-size: 11.0pt;line-height: 115.0%;"Life at Two Point Studios is exactly as we believe it should be: fun, flexible and super creative!
