Psychonauts 2 will not be finished in 2018 according to a Fig update

Double Fine Productions has recently released a Fig update about Psychonauts 2 and both made their fans more excited and sad. The game, which for many was supposed to come out in 2018, is officially going to be released later than that.

“We have now ramped up into full production mode! We have five full level teams working on the real world locations and brand new mental worlds, as well as our full gameplay team working on powers, platforming, puzzles, and combat.— all kinds of great stuff!” says the devs. It is exciting news as we now know that they are fully working on the project and they have some good news. But when it comes to the full size of it, things get a little complicated.

“Now we are in full swing, we know a lot more about the size and scope of the game we are going to make, how long it will take us to make it, and the amount of time we need to make it be great.” is what’s written on that Fig update. However, it goes on: “From those projections we know that Psychonauts 2 will not be shipping in 2018, like we originally estimated when we published the Fig campaign two years ago.”

What we should think about the devs, especially after these statement, is that they work hard. And honesty always gets compensated by gamers. Especially when you think about the huge fan base of Psychonauts 2.

This is upsetting news of course. But as they say in this statement “[they] love the game [they’re] making and [they] want to make sure that Psychonauts 2 is something [we] will love too – a game that carries on the legacy of Psychonauts in meaningful and special way.”

So, we will have to wait until 2019 before we can enjoy the second Psychonauts game. Until then, stay tuned for more news fellas. And here is a developer’s diary kind of video for you to enjoy:
