Psychonauts 2 Is Playable Internally And Coming Later This Year

Double Fine has revealed that Psychonauts 2 is in a playable state and coming this year. While celebrating the original game’s 16th anniversary today, the Double Fine Twitter account also commented on the state of its forthcoming sequel. “Yes, Psychonauts 2 is this year,” the tweet begins, before explaining that a specific date can’t be shared at present, or the tweet’s author would suffer a 'mysterious cactus accident.' “But it is real. It is playable. It is coming,” the tweet ends.

And yes, Psychonauts 2 is this year and yes I've been mentioning that here and elsewhere for a while but no I can't tell you when because someone from THE COMPANY would arrange for a mysterious "cactus accident" to happen to me...

But it is real. It is playable. It is coming. — Double Fine (@DoubleFine) April 19, 2021

This will be great news for all Psychonauts fans who have been waiting patiently for a sequel for more than a decade now. The 2005 original is currently 50% off on Steam, if you’re yet to give Double Fine’s debut platformer a go. Psychonauts 2 was previously pegged to launch in 2019, and then 2020, before slipping to 2021 as per an Xbox Wire blog post in July 2020. Thankfully, it seems that won't be the case again.
