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.

The follow up to Double Fine’s 2005 debut title was originally set to launch in 2019, but was pushed back to 2020, before being set back again last July. It’s reassuring to hear confirmation that the sequel will indeed be available this year, even if the release date hasn’t yet been revealed.
In other Psychonauts news, the original game was recently discounted by 50% on Steam, meaning it might be a perfect opportunity for new fans to give the platforming series a try before the next game arrives, or for old fans to revisit the original.
Psychonauts 2 will be available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
