For anyone who might have missed it, during E3 2019 a couple of weeks back Xbox’s Matt Booty announced that Double Fine Productions would be joining Xbox Game Studios. You may know Double Fine for games such as Psychonauts and Brütal Legend.
Their acclaimed founder Tim Schafer, who is known for his work on Grim Fandango, Day of the Tentacle, and Monkey Island (to name a few titles), joined Matt on stage to share a new gameplay trailer for Psychonauts 2. You can check out the gameplay trailer below.
Fans of Double Fine Productions’ Psychonauts have been waiting for a sequel for a long time now, and during The Game Awards 2015 an announcement trailer for the game was shared.
But there’s a bit of a catch. Double Fine has looked to (and found much success with) crowdfunding to make their games, and they are doing the same for Psychonauts 2. But this is a different kind of crowdfunding. Instead of going with the usual Kickstarter or Indiegogo, they’re going with a company called fig. This allows you not only to back the game for rewards, but if you want, you can actually INVEST in the game and make some money back depending on how well it does when released.
You can find out more and watch the announcement trailer below.
