The vile tyrants at Jackbox Games will not let me have Word Spud 2.

Jackbox Games have announced that The Jackbox Party Pack 8 is coming this fall, with the requisite five party games you'd expect from a Jackbox Party Pack. The developer has yet to announce which games will release in the pack, but the first announcement is to come "before the end of May (likely sooner)." 

Further announcements will come in the next months, with looks at the new games in the late summer. Jackbox Party Pack 8 will have the same stuff you expect from Jackbox packs, like using your phone and playing along from the audience. It'll release on all the various platforms they always release these things on.

Most importantly, however, Jackbox will not give us Word Spud 2. They do not care, nay, they do not deign to give us Word Spud 2. They mock us: “WORD SPUD 2 WHEN" they give as a question in their FAQ, to which they say "This isn’t phrased as a question." Because they are vile. "Look for the sequel, Word Spud 2, coming in the year 3145!" says the official Word Spud page. Vile.
