Time to start the mind exploration!
Psychonauts 2 got an official release date together with a new trailer that showcases the gameplay of the highly-anticipated sequel. The reveal was made during Xbox/Bethesda’s E3 conference, which also revealed Psychonauts 2 will be available from day one to Xbox Game Pass subscribers.
The trailer features the hero Raz going through several wacky levels, a more-than-welcome confirmation that the sequel will bring back a lot of what we love about 2005’s Psychonauts. In the first game, Raz uses his mind powers to explore other people’s brains, filled with challenges shaped after their dreams, hopes, and traumas. Psychonauts 2 brings back the same energy, with levels that mimic a pinball machine and Raz using a giant ball to take down some bowling pins. The amazing level design of Psychonauts is one of the reasons it became a classic, and if all that creative energy is coming back to the sequel, we are in luck.
Psychonauts 2 initial release was set to December 2019, before the game was delayed multiple times. From the gameplay trailer, it looks like the wait was worth it, as Psychonauts 2 is looking amazing. The game is being developed by Double Fine since 2016 when the studio raised almost $4 million in a crowdfunding campaign on Fig.
The sequel will lead players to the Psychonauts headquarters after Raz becomes an official member of the team responsible for investigating crimes related to psychic powers. Not everything is as it seems, though, as Raz will have to deal with power struggles inside the organization while trying to take down a new mind menace.
Psychonauts 2 will be available on August 25th on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and as part of the Xbox Game Pass. Check the new Psychonauts 2 gameplay trailer below:
