It was initially planned for a release on October 1st, 2016, but due to from Cary Huang entering college, it was pushed back to December 1st, 2016, but it suffered a big delay and was postponed until further notice because Cary Huang and Michael Huang were in their sophomore year of college, although it was never announced as cancelled. On November 3rd, 2017, the 4th season of BFDI, Battle for BFDI (full name Battle for Battle for Dream Island), was released, although it is currently unknown if IDFB is truly cancelled, although it is assumed.

Premise

Not much is know pun about what would happen, although Match would have been freed from the LOL/TLC, getting 3427 votes, and a character from the Reddit thread for BFDI with the most upvotes would have been put in the LOL/TLC.

History

On September 25th, 2016, it was announced that IDFB 2 will be late, due to Cary Huang entering his sophomore year in Stanford University, his former college. It was also announced that the .fla files would be released on bfdi.tv, and a short called Paper Towel was released on October 1st, 2016, which was when IDFB 2 was supposed to be released. On November 23rd, 2016, a video called BFDI's Best Hiatus Ever was released, explaining that IDFB is on an "intentional hiatus" so Cary and Michael can continue work on past projects, such as Ten Words of Wisdom (TWOW), its future second season, Abacaba, and to finish the rest of BFDIA 5b.

On May 11th, 2017, Cary Huang had said he left college, but he wishes he had stayed according to a video on his channel, Carykh, called "AI makes new BFDI screenshots! (2 min. of ML & 22 min. of Cary whining about problems)". On June 22nd, 2017, Ballers was released, which also announced a meetup in the Mix Restaurant in Anaheim, California. On October 22nd, 2017, Jacknjellify posted a tweet with a picture of a new character, which resembles a virtual reality headset. The text on the tweet reads "A host with a screen", indicating that there may be a host for future episodes of IDFB. On November 3rd, 2017, the first episode of the fourth season, Battle for BFDI, was released, known as Getting Teardrop to Talk. It was never officially announced that the episode had been cancelled, but it is still very much indefinitely delayed.

It's not known if any writing, voice acting, animation, etc. was ever done for the episode, and therefore it is unknown if there is anything to actually find.

On August 31st, 2023, a announcement on the jacknjellify channel was posted that there would be a new episode coming out the next day, The announcement showed a shadow of Yoyle City, meaning that people thought IDFB 2 would come out that day, but ultimately, it was BFDIA 6.

Earlier after BFDIA 6 was released, director Sam Thornbury has stated on the HTwins Central Discord server that the remaining BFDIA episodes will chronologically lead up to IDFB 1, possibly hinting at its return after BFDIA ends.

Being confirmed even further by the Huang Twins many times at a lot of the BFB x II Tour Meetup, IDFB 2 is going to be released. A more famous example is at the June 29, 2024 BFB X II Tour Meetup, where a fan wanted to know if IDFB 2 is going out, and Cary responded with the following;

"I feel like that I repeated this many many times so, I feel like, pretty much, yeah".
