Recall that in a recent interview with IGN, the founder of Double Fine Productions Tim Schafer said that almost all content (levels, videos) has already been added to Psychonauts 2, and the team is mainly engaged in polishing.

In the development diary, Shafer mentioned that December is the last opportunity for the team to add something new to the game because, after the New Year, the studio will focus entirely on bringing the project to its final form.

Schafer also admitted that at this stage Double Fine Productions is cutting out from Psychonauts 2 certain elements that will not necessarily benefit the project, but may delay the already lengthy development.

Despite the large amount of work before the release, Double Fine Productions decided not to stoop to gruelling rework – the health and quality of life of employees are more important.

The video also shows how the team is testing Psychonauts 2: Shafer launches a stream with the game, to which team members are connected. According to the game designer, it’s much easier to identify areas for improvement.

The release of Psychonauts 2 is expected in 2021 on PC (Steam, Windows 10), PS4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and S. In addition, from the first day of launch, the project will become part of the Xbox Game Pass subscription service.
