“Thanks for your warm reception of Inside”, says the tweet from Playdead’s account. “Since release, Playdead founder Arnt Jensen and the team have been working on the next adventure.”

It looks like it’ll be a similar thing to Limbo and Inside – side-scrolling platforming with moody art. It possibly takes place on another planet.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see it tie into the previous two games, perhaps showing us where the brain-controlling worms originated from, or something similar. Either way, it’s pretty clear that you’re going to be stranded somewhere nasty, whether it’s on Earth or elsewhere.
