Summary
House Flipper 2is a simulation game where players take on the role of a one-person renovation crew. Over the years, fans have stepped foot in various fictional neighborhoods that often look like avideo game recreation of real places, from the suburban streets of the originalHouse Flipperto the seaside town of Sunset Bay in its HGTV DLC, one of many flipper-themed expansions to the simulation franchise.
House Flipper 2takes players to a new location called Pinnacove, where they can renovate, buy, and flip houses across its different map regions. In a recent interview with Game Rant, Frozen District Producer Jakub Bujas spoke Flippers 2’s setting of Pinnacove, its Story Mode, and its various map regions. Bujas also talked about its protagonist, the town residents, plans for Pinnacove’s map, and more.
House Flipper 2’s Setting of Pinnacove, Jobs, And Map Regions
When asked aboutHouse Flipper 2’s fictional,idyllic town settingof Pinnacove, Bujas explained it is “a small own somewhere in the USA” that is “inspired by small fishermen’s villages”, something which also connects to the story, wherein Pinnacove developed from a small fishing village to a thriving tourist destination. Focusing onHouse Flipper 2’s map size, Bujas explained there are three map regions including suburban, coastal, and forest areas, with plans to add three more post-release. As Bujas explained,
In Pinnacove, there will be three different regions playable at the release date. But we’ve got plans for three more on the map. During the game, you’ll be able to see the whole map of Pinnacove and all the real estate that will be available for three of those.
Bujas also spoke about the total number of jobs inHouse Flipper 2, including the job-to-region ratio,
So inHouse Flipper 2, we’ve got 24 jobs for players, and they’re split into three different areas. We’ve got eight jobs in the suburbs, nine on the coast, and seven in the forest.
Players who enjoy learning about thehistory of towns in cities in video gamesmay also appreciateHouse Flipper 2’s attention to detail in this area, with the ability to learn more about Pinnacove, its characters, and legends through features like posters and interactable objects like books. Like the original game, players cannot physically meet NPCs, but Bujas added thatHouse Flipper 2’snew phone job system lets players chat with characters in depth via different dialogue options.
House Flipper 2’s Story, Job Progression, And Relaxing Gameplay
It’s also worth remembering that a big part of theHouse Flipperexperience is agame about making money, as players complete jobs to eventually buy and flip their own houses. InHouse Flipper 2’s story, Bujas explained that players start off taking on smaller jobs as a young house flipper, eventually building up to bigger jobs and longer renovation projects, which Bujas jokingly described as “a huge house boss.”
That said,House Flipper 2also looks to provide arelaxing game experiencefor players like its predecessor, whether that be through its locations or the potential for even more meditative, satisfying tool mechanics. Bujas also mentioned the forest area is “my favorite region”, speaking about how the atmosphere adds to the cozy vibes players may experience,
Because players really like loneliness inHouse Flipper 2- they like to chill out, just close in their world, their own space, and release their creativity. And I think in this particular environment, it does that the best, especially at night when you’ve got whispers in the trees and so on, and you’re sitting inside your cottage - that’s really cool.
House Flipper 2releases on PC on July 21, 2025, and is planned for release on PlayStation and Xbox consoles on May 17, 2025.
