Cut the Rope 2 Launches for iOS, Should Hit Android “Early Next Year”

Usually when a popular new game hits iOS, the Android world can start its countdown for when said game will be released to Google Play. According to a press release that went out with Cut the Rope 2 for iOS, the Android version is set to launch “early next year.” We are used to waiting, so I think we can last another month or so. 

In Cut the Rope 2, our little friend Om Nom ventures out from his protective box, and begins to explore the world. He meets a whole bunch of crazy new characters, so it should be a fantastic installment to an already great series.

Upon launch, it appears the game will be free to download, so prepare yourself for a few IAPs.
