Anticipation is building as the sequel to the cult indie favorite, The Talos Principle, is set to launch in just one month’s time. The Talos Principle 2 is scheduled for release on November 2, and it’s coming to PC (via Steam and Epic Games), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Excitingly, gamers who pre-order this sci-fi puzzler before the official release date can enjoy a generous 10 percent discount.
For those who have yet to experience the original game, there’s an equally compelling offer. Until October 3, you can acquire The Talos Principle along with its Road to Gehenna DLC from Steam at a remarkable 90 percent discount.
In The Talos Principle 2, the stage is set in a world where humanity has vanished, replaced by sentient robots who explore a mysterious megastructure. As the player, you’ll grapple with intricate laser puzzles to progress while engaging in in-game dialogues that explore profound themes such as consciousness, love, and the future of our species.
Our recent preview described the game as “warm, welcoming, and slow,” offering a unique departure from the fast-paced norm of most sci-fi games and media. The Talos Principle 2 presents an optimistic narrative that’s more contemplative than adrenaline-pumping, making it a perfect choice for those seeking a respite from the challenges of the real world.
While the release of The Talos Principle 2 is certainly exciting news for gamers, it’s worth noting that Devolver, the game’s publisher, has postponed the release of several other titles to 2024. Among these titles is Skate Story, an artful skateboarding game set in a unique underworld with a glass demon as its protagonist. Additional games, including The Plucky Squire, Stick it to the Stickman, Anger Foot, and Pepper Grinder, have also been delayed and are now slated for release in the coming year.
