It was a nice surprise to see Oxenfree II: Lost Signals announced during April’s Indie World Showcase. Unfortunately, the title has slipped past its 2021 launch, with it now due to release in 2022. Regardless, developer Night School Studio is dropping fans some clues regarding the upcoming sequel. New radio signals have been added to the original game on Steam, teasing what is in store for Oxenfree II: Lost Signals.
These added signals are a great way to tease Oxenfree II: Lost Signals

This is some spooky and cryptic stuff.
Eagle-eyed gamers should be able to parse the locations and signal frequencies from the clips above. I wonder what they say and if there are more of them?
Notes for Patch 3.1.1 are available here, but they don’t say much. Hopefully, these new radio signals will be added to the Switch version of the game, as well. It’d be a great connective tissue between the two adventures.
