Psychonauts 2 Release Date Confirmed, Publisher Named
Tim Schafer's Double Fine Productions has announced Starbreeze Studios as their publishing partner for the crowd-funded Psychonauts 2, which is confirmed for Q3 2018.
Using Fig.co, the independent developer put Psychonauts 2 before the public and sure enough they got just over $3.8 million from backers and investors alike. An additional $8 million has been secured with Starbreeze Studios as they move to publish it for PC and console.
"Many of us gamers who’ve grown up during 70’s and 80’s have at some point come across the great games from Double Fine and Tim Schafer. Games like Grim Fandango, Day of the Tentacle, Full Throttle, and Brütal Legend are all in the list of personal all time favorites for many of us. We’re very proud to be able to add this prominent collaboration to our Publishing business. Starbreeze is looking forward to support Double Fine in bringing the new and exciting game Psychonauts 2 to young and old gamers world wide,” said Bo Andersson-Klint, Starbreeze CEO.
Psychonauts 2 is a third-person action adventure platformer where we continue to play as Razputin Aquato (Raz) as he joins the Psychonaut agency. He arrives at the Psychonaut headquarters only to find his loyalties to his friends will be tested as the laws of the Psychonauts and a secret mission aren't quite what he expected.
Psychonauts 2 releases PC, Mac, Linux, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 in Q3 2018.
