Psychonauts 2 is an upcoming platform video game developed by Double Fine and published by Xbox Game Studios. The game was announced at The Game Awards 2015 ceremony.
Here’s everything we know about Psychonauts 2:
Release date
The game is currently on track for a release in 2021 on Microsoft Windows, macOS, Linux, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S.
Psychonauts 2 will be a third-person platform game similar in gameplay to its predecessor. The player will control Raz, a newly graduated Psychonaut with powerful psychic abilities, as he enters the minds of others.
The player will control “Psi-Powers”, such as telekinesis, pyrokinesis, and levitation, in combination with more common platform game elements, to explore the mental worlds of several non-player characters.
Story
The game picks up after the conclusion of Psychonauts in the Rhombus of Ruin, with Raz having assisted Sasha Nein and Milla Vodello in rescuing head Psychonaut Truman Zanotto — a mission begun at the end of Psychonauts. Following Zanotto’s rescue, the team returns to Psychonaut Headquarters, where Raz discovers that the organization is not all that it seemed.
In Zanotto’s absence, the Psychonauts organization had been changed by its second-in-command, and psychic research was directed away from peacekeeping efforts towards more unorthodox studies including necromancy.
