We seem to wait huge stretches between new Psychonauts 2 details, which understandably gets a lot of fans nervous. But don't worry, Double Fine has reiterated that the game is still expected to release this year. Phew!
In a recent tweet from the developer, one fan asked where the game was and why it's faced multiple delays. The game's creator, Tim Schafer, eloquently replied that the team is "making sure it's good". When asked again if the game would be releasing this year, Double Fine responded with a resounding "yes."
Back in December, the team confirmed the game is close to being finished, and a tweet the other week asked backers to confirm their details to have their name included in the credits. It sounds like it's pretty close to wrapping up! If we don't hear anything between now and June, we expect we'll hear some concrete details at E3. In the meantime, we'd love to see the first game enter Xbox Game Pass please, Microsoft.
Are you excited for Psychonauts 2? Let us know in the comments below.

@Medic_Alert At this rate it will come to gamepass. 😂
@Medic_Alert Honestly I think the publicity around it coming out after Bethesda became a first-party Xbox studio might actually end up helping it ironically
Just the pure irony of an Xbox Game Studios game coming out first on PS5. I think with how hard Sony pushed it during all its pre-PS5 launch showcases it'll at least do better than Prey did
@Senua It'll probably come to Game Pass like immediately after the exclusivity period ends. Same with GhostWire
One of my most anticipated games this year, especially after Balan Wonderworld...well it didn’t seem to fill the void of a good new 3D platformer that isn’t Mario or Ratchet.
Hoping it can live up to the original, have been a fan ever since when it came to PS2.
@TheFrenchiestFry
Or how about the irony of a sony studio game being drop on Xbox and Xbox Gamepass in MLB The Show
@TrueAssassin86x Honestly at worst it's going to end up being a bad look for Sony but it was mostly MLB's call
I bet the people who are actually losing their sh*t about this have never even played the 3 million other Show games they made. This is the kind of thing that everyone will probably forget in a few months anyway if they're getting the game regardless
@Medic_Alert does the ps5 year of exclusivity start from its new release date? Or from another set date?
For example if the deal is the exclusivity starts from the original planned date then this delay is quite sneaky bringing it closer to the xbox release
Arkane is always good, it's only a matter of it going viral. Dishonored did, the sequels not so much. Peformance issues on PC killed a lot of goodwill. As long as the launch is not messy it seems like a possible hit. I wonder how stable the online part of it is. Looks fun even as a single-player title, as long as it can be played offline it'll be good.
