No new Psychonauts on way News • News • Eurogamer.net

Schafer speaks up.

Tim Schafer has come out and said there is actually no new Psychonauts game being worked on at the moment.

He was answering rumours that erupted yesterday after the Double Fine website listed a mysterious "Coming Soon" project that appeared to be a Psychonauts game.

"Haha. Nooooo," chortled Schafer to Kotaku. "There's no new Psychonauts game in the works right now, but I'm glad some people got excited by the idea. I know I got excited."

Peculiar phrasing, then, my speculating friends. "No new Psychonauts game"; perhaps he is ruling out a sequel but not a port. Or maybe he is just delaying an announcement. It could also be that the Psychonauts-themed listing is a default picture used for any upcoming revelation, too.

Or it could just be that there is no new Psychonauts game coming out. Sniff.

What a shame... Psychonauts was one of the hidden gems of the preious gen. Such an amazingly fun game.

Meh, it'll be a port, since he specified no new Psychonauts... So, what platform?

We can continue to be smug while the rest of humanity goes oblivious to the games existence, let alone its greatness. (*Puts on smug face*)

Since you get developers like Tim Schafer who actually talk to you.

What a great game. This and Beyond Good and Evil both deserve a sequel.

Psychonauts is a unique experience (especially the Milkman's mind world and the dark secrets the various people harbour). A sequel would just dilute its impact.
