One Day More!
Hi folks! It’s Heather and Spaff here with another update leading into launch.!
There’s plenty to cover but to start with: reviews are out! It’s been a very flattering and kind response. It’s hard to sit and single out every review but OpenCritic has us with a “Mighty” rank. We have a general review score of 89 and a 99 percent on critic recommendations. It placed us in their 2021 “Hall of Fame” alongside wonderful games like Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart, It Takes Two, and Returnal. Ars Technica called us a “Game of the Year contender”, as have other critics. All of this is very exciting for the team and we hope it’s made you excited to play too!
But it’s also important to remember that this started with you and the help you gave us to start this project. We would not be here without your support. Of course I’m (Heather) not the best person to tell you that, so I’ll leave it to Tim who has a special message, just for you.
Exclusive Trailer! (For Your Eyes Only)
Speaking of backers-only, we have another thing we made just for you. It’s an exclusive trailer that teases some of the mystery that you will unravel in Psychonauts 2! There’s a dark past to the Psychonauts and a secret within Ford’s mind. A gathering of friends who wanted to explore the limits of the mind led to new fields of psychic art and study. But it changed with a tragedy that eventually left Ford fractured. This trailer, which takes place back in Whispering Rock, was made specifically for you, our biggest and bestest fans, and is a taste of what to expect in Psychonauts 2...
Previously On Psychonauts!
Additionally, if you haven’t seen it yet, we’re happy to share this “Previously On..” video featuring animation by friend of the studio Michael Firman. While many of you know the story of Psychonauts and Rhombus of Ruin, a refresher always helps and this is a way to help new players catch up with everything as well. If anything else, it would make a great issue of True Psychic Tales!
Important note - This is the first thing you’ll see when you turn on the game, in case you want to wait for the full experience.
Your codes will be sent tomorrow!
- Tomorrow, starting at 10am PST, emails will start to go out with info on how to get and redeem your codes.
- No matter if you are going to get a PC or console code, everything will be sent to you via our friends at Humble.
- You will be able to log into humble.com with the email you used to back this project with, and find all the information there.
- If you have changed your emails, please reach out to Humble Support - let them know your old and new email address.
In case you need support!
To help with anything you need at launch, we’ve expanded our support system and staff so that questions and concerns can be answered with greater speed. Should you have any questions or assistance with code acquisition or other situations, please email support@doublefine.com. Your questions will be placed into our system, where we’ll be able to respond and lend a hand.
We're nearly there!
We’ve got some more fun things to share with you as we eventually get to launch day - including an official Xbox launch day stream with mister Schafer, so look out for info on that. Above everything else though we want to thank you all for your incredible support all of these years! We are incredibly proud of this game, we’ve poured our hearts and souls into it, and we really, really hope you enjoy playing it! Only one more day to go dear friends…
