Welcome to Two Point Campus, your chance to be the benevolent overlord of higher education. In so many management games, the little people are anonymous little blobs that make crazy demands and mess up your painstaking plans. With Two Point Campus, the new game from the makers of the delightful Two Point Hospital, that's all going to change.
Everything you loved about Two Point Hospital is still there - the dad jokes, the accessibly addictive mechanics - but you'll now be able to really zoom in on the students you're looking after as they study and slack their way through college. They'll have likes and dislikes, needs, and the environment you create for them will help them live, laugh, and love.
We spoke to co-founders of Two Point Studios, Mark Webley and Gary Carr about Two Point Campus, and they explained that this evolution in the series came from wanting players to care about the little people. In Two Point Hospital patients were only with you long enough to get cured or die, in Two Point Campus students will be with you throughout their three-year courses, and you'll be more invested in their success.
This isn't like The Sims, you won't be in direct control and telling your students when to use the toilet, but you will be able to influence their lives in other ways. For instance, if you build a rose garden on your campus you increase the chance of your students developing romantic relationships. Sure, not many of my college relationships started in rose gardens, more in dingy clubs and puddles of cider, but the rose garden looks much nicer on the screen.
Of course, this being a Two Point game, you can forget about boring economics classes or seminars on the causes of the potato famine, instead, your students can master the art of making car-sized pizzas with Gastronomy, or attend Knight School - please take a moment to appreciate that pun - and run around in medieval armor. Your classrooms will look less like stuffy academic boxes, and more like mad scientists laboratories.
Two Point Campus also has some fun with all of those college stereotypes we've learned about from movies and TV. Those guys in the wigs? The class clowns. Toffs are instantly recognizable in the smart tailcoats, and the goths are... well... the goths are just adorable. Even better, the chances of them dying feel much smaller than when I was running Two Point Hospital.

00:00Hello and welcome to Two Point Campus, your chance to be the benevolent overlord of higher
00:13education.
00:14In so many management games, the little people are just anonymous little blobs that make
00:19crazy demands and mess up your painstaking plans.
00:23With Two Point Campus, the new game from the makers of the delightful Two Point Hospital,
00:27that's all going to change.
00:33Everything you loved about Two Point Hospital is still there.
00:36The dad jokes, the excessively addictive mechanics, but you'll now be able to really zoom in
00:40on the students you're looking after as they study and slack their way through college.
00:44They'll have likes and dislikes, needs, and the environment you create for them will help
00:48them live, laugh and love.
00:50We spoke to co-founders of Two Point Studios, Mark Webley and Gary Carr, about Two Point
00:56Campus, and they explained that this evolution in the series came from wanting players to
01:00care about the little people.
01:02In Two Point Hospital, patients were only with you long enough to either get cured or
01:06die.
01:07In Two Point Campus, students will be with you throughout their three-year courses and
01:11you'll be more invested in their success.
01:13Now this isn't like The Sims, you won't be in direct control in telling your students
01:17when to use the toilet, but you will be able to influence their lives in other ways.
01:21For instance, if you build a rose garden on your campus, you increase the chance of your
01:25students developing romantic relationships.
01:27Sure, not many of my college relationships started in rose gardens, or in dingy nightclubs
01:32and puddles of cider, but the rose garden looks much nicer on the screen.
01:43Of course, this being a Two Point game, you can forget about boring economics classes
01:47or seminars on the causes of the potato famine.
01:49Instead, your students can master the art of making car-sized pizzas with gastronomy,
01:54or attend night school, please just take a moment to appreciate that pun, and run around
01:59in medieval armour.
02:00Your classrooms will look less like stuffy academic boxes, and more like mad scientist
02:04laboratories.
02:08Two Point Campus also has some fun with all of those college stereotypes we've learned
02:11about from movies and TV.
02:13Those guys in the wigs?
02:14The class clowns.
02:16The toffs are instantly recognisable in the smart tailcoats, and the goths are, well,
02:20the goths are just adorable.
02:22Even better, the chances of any of them dying feel much smaller than when I was running
02:25Two Point Hospital.
02:30In our sneak peek at Two Point Campus, we got to see the adventures of Alex, a student
02:34studying robotics and scientography.
02:36As well as building giant robot hands and, um, testing strange chemicals for class, Alex
02:41explored the more social side of college too.
02:44Whether in music events at the Student Union, movie nights, and even a nap club, when students
02:49want to get really wild, they can hit the milkshake keg.
02:52Remember your student days?
02:54Out of your mind on sugary dairy products?
02:56Of course, as anyone who has hit 30 knows, you can't party without consequences, and
03:00too much of it can mean dropping off in class and falling grades.
03:05This new level of depth is sure to add to the moorish madness of the Two Point formula,
03:09but you'll need to balance it all with running a successful campus.
03:12The better your students do, the more money the college will earn, giving you more money
03:16to invest in better equipment and staff.
03:19And it's not like you have just one student to look after, you'll have a whole class of
03:22them, so even if you have your favourites, you're going to have to resist the temptation
03:26to obsessively stalk their every move.
03:31And if you're not a people person, there's still plenty to play with in Two Point Campus.
03:36After seeing the way the community experimented with the building tools in Two Point Hospital,
03:40the developers are also going to give you a lot more freedom when it comes to how your
03:43campus looks.
03:44Whether you want perfectly manicured gardens, labyrinthine paths, sleek modern buildings,
03:49or a Hogwarts vibe, there are a load more customisation options to lose yourself in
03:54this time around.
03:56As a Two Point Hospital addict who has yet to find a cure, I can't wait to jump into
04:00Two Point Campus and rule the school with a mixture of care and callous greed.
04:04The game will be released on PC, consoles and Nintendo Switch later this year.
