Psychonauts 2 - Update with Tim Schafer - The Story of Psychonauts 2!

As 2020 winds down, here's a look at what's to come for Psychonauts 2. Spoilers: it's coming pretty dang soon!

As Psychonauts 2 continues development, Double Fine celebrates 20 years of making games. And as things keep moving forward, we take some time to break down our latest level.

Brains, colors, feeeelings, Jack Black! A fresh trailer shines light on a trippy level and new psychic power.

Some of our team work remotely all the time, and for them it’s almost been business as usual in terms of this new Work From Home Life. For most of team Double Fine though these last few weeks have involved a lot of changes to our workflow. With everyone dispersed, our meetings involve more kids, pets and snapchat filters than ever before.

We may be sheltering in place, but work on Psychonauts 2 continues. Let's find out what's been going on!

The aroma of deep-fried turkey, spoon-bread, corn-casserole and pecan pie is in the air, threatening to lure us all from our desks for a few days of relaxation, family and feasting.

It’s been a couple of weeks since we returned from E3, but only now do we feel recovered; rejuvenated by a long weekend of BBQs and fireworks. It was one hell-of-a show though, possibly our busiest ever!

Psychonauts 2 will still be coming to *ALL* promised platforms: PC, Mac, Linux, PS4, and of course - Xbox :)

There was a strong temptation to make E3 into our next project update for you all, but although it really is close now, it still felt like we’d be silent for a bit too long if we waited. Handily though we have an inspiring team related tale to tell, and this feels like the perfect time to do so.

Strike Teams! Alpha! Trailers! Christmas! It's all happening!

Psychonauts 2 tells the story of Razputin Aquato, a gifted acrobat with psychic powers, as he fulfills his life-long goal of becoming an international psychic super-spy. In other words, a Psychonaut.

Watch a Minisode all about our camp trip this summer!

In this update we take a deep dive into Raz’s mind to check out his Psychic Powers.

Scott C was in the office painting this new team poster and we captured the whole thing!

We’re back with another glimpse inside the Psychonauts 2 dev machine, where between the whirring cogs and high-tech circuitry we can spy a game being put together brick by brick. In this update: Level teams, Scott C paintings, other rewards, plus: sign up for a chance to come camping with us.

Psychonauts in the Rhombus of Ruin is now on PC for Oculus and Vive! A new standalone chapter of the Psychonauts saga that takes us back into their mysterious and paranormal world for the first time in more than ten years.

Welcome to another Psychonauts 2 project update! This update is best enjoyed with a hot cup of cocoa by an open fire, but a can of coke by the heating vent will suffice.

Welcome to another project update for the excellent game Psychonauts 2, work on which you’ll be glad to know is still going strong. Very strong in fact, as we just completed an important milestone that we call our “first playable” and we’d like you to see it.

Peruse the deepest, most secret thoughts of the game’s characters, while listening to exclusive commentary from Scott Campbell and Tim Schafer.

We’re back and up to our old tricks of inviting ourselves over to dinner at your place so we can spill the Psychonauts beans all over your table, before disappearing once more into the night. Whilst messy and hard to clean up, our beans are coated in mystery... eat them and you shall learn much!

Psychonauts in the Rhombus of Ruin is written and directed by industry legend Tim Schafer, lead by VR Veteran Chad Dawson and created by many of the same people who worked on the original Psychonauts here at Double Fine Productions. Original voice actors Richard Horvitz, Nicki Rapp, and others are returning to reprise their roles, and original composer Peter McConnell will be writing brand new music for this brand new adventure!.

Please meet Ryan Mattson, Lead Level Designer on Psychonauts 2.

Here we are again with another Psychonauts 2 project update, and it’s a beefy one! We’ve been trying to get this update out for quite some time, but every time we were about to publish it another piece of news would come running down the corridor towards us yelling “Wait! Hold that elevator!

Take a look at this short video featuring our art team talking about the process of building the Quarry, what we learned, and how we feel about it!
