Double Fine has confirmed Psychonauts 2, the long-awaited sequel to its 2005 cult-classic platform adventure, will finally, after a multitude of delays, be launching this year.
Psychonauts 2 was officially announced in 2015, with Double Fine successfully managing to crowdfund $3,829,024 USD to contribute toward development costs that same year. Unfortunately, despite initially planning to launch the game in 2018, Double Fine made the decision to push back its release by a year in 2017. Then, in July 2019, it delayed Psychonauts 2's launch once more, this time to 2020, and then again the following year, to 2021.
With three delays now under its belt, fans and backers would be forgiven for anticipating yet another slip, but Double Fine has now offered assurances, via its Twitter feed, that Psychonauts 2 is real, playable, and coming "this year".
