Evaluation

Exploding Kittens® 2 launched on Steam on August 12, 2024, and has been actively developed ever since. The developer has shipped three named expansions post-launch: the Santa Claws Pack (December 19, 2024), the Streaking Kittens Expansion (April 22, 2025), and the Barking Kittens Expansion (July 24, 2025). Alongside these, the team has consistently released feature patches and bug fixes throughout the game's lifetime, with the most recent patch arriving on April 23, 2026. The launch announcement on August 13, 2024 explicitly teased forthcoming expansions, and the release history has borne that out with a steady cadence of new content arriving roughly every 3–6 months. While no specific future expansion has been announced at this time, the developer has demonstrated a strong and consistent pattern of adding substantial new cards, decks, and gameplay modes after launch. The Explosive Expansions Pass (released at launch alongside the base game) suggests the developer planned post-launch content from the outset. There is no developer statement indicating that content development has concluded.

About this game

🔥😼 IGNITE THE CHAOS! EXPLODING KITTENS® 2 IS OUT NOW!

The ultimate card game with friends is back with a bang, people! The latest version has it all – customisable avatars, emojis, oodles of game modes and cards full of quirky humour and animations sleeker than an oiled kitty with catnip-fuelled zoomies!

What’s that? There’s a particular card you’ve all been waiting for? That we’ve clearly forgotten to mention? Hmm…nope. Don’t think so…or maybe…?

The blazing legend of unfathomably volatile cats continues, and this time, you’ll feel the explosions reverberate through your dreams. If only there were some way to save yourself. Just nope right on out of there, you know?

The rules are still simple – draw cards, try not to blow up. Sounds easy, right? Well, obviously you’ve never owned a cat.

You see, tangled up in the deck are multiple fiery-furred kitties waiting to land in your hand and detonate your hopes of victory. Hope you have a Defuse card ready! The last one standing is crowned the winner!

EXPLODING KITTENS® 2 knows how to glow up right; bring back everything fans loved from the original, add in some upgrades and chuck more kitties in there. We’ve done that and more! More customisation! More explosions! More outfits! More kitties! More awesome graphics! More explosions! More ways to play! You won’t wanna say “Nope” to this!

Dress your avatar up in the season’s hottest outfits (cat hair not included)
