We will have to see if we see it at the Xbox event in June.
being clear, Psychonauts 2 has been one of the best games of recent years, being so that this was manifested through his 2021 GOTY nomination, this being a category that he lost to It Takes Two. Now, that doesn’t mean that Double Fine Productions He has not received applause and praise for his work, while it is known that the studio already has several projects in hand, but without saying if some of these are a new installment of Psychonauts.
Having said all this, it should be noted that with the Xbox event already announced for Juneof which we already know the name of one of the titles that will make an appearance at the Showcase, there are many who speculate with the announcement of a new installment of Psychonautsthat is, the third numbered, while a recent image shared by Xbox has ended up sparking debate within the gaming community.
A cryptic image from Xbox Australia and New Zealand sparks the debate around Psychonaut 3
Recently Xbox Australia and New Zealand have shared an image of a Tic-Tac-Toe board containing letters that spell the word Psycho with 3 X, which directly alludes to the iconic Double Fine license, which has caused many think that it is a preview of the announcement of Psychonaut 3generating a debate among those who think that the image alludes to this game while others comment that with the second installment already on the market it makes no sense to think of another.
Regarding the latter, it must be said that in interviews they have given on previous occasions, Tim Schafer, founder and executive director of Double Fine, has assured that the studio is focused on new and original thingsbeing the most recent statement that he found on this topic in February of this year, so it would not be compatible with a third installment of Psychonaut.
Having said all this, we will have to see what happens in the next Xbox event, from which we already know that on this occasion Microsoft is not committed to teaching games that will come out in the next 12 months after what Happened to Hollow Knight Silksong and Starfield.
