The Talos Principle 2 Set to Launch on November 2
Publisher Devolver Digital and developer Croteam have announced today that The Talos Principle 2 is finally launching on November 2, nearly nine years after the initial release of its predecessor.
A Philosophical Adventure Continues
The original The Talos Principle was a highly acclaimed 3D puzzle adventure that captivated players with its exploration of philosophical themes such as the nature of humans, AI, God, science, and progress. Over the years, mobile and VR versions were released, along with the 2015 Road to Gehenna DLC that expanded on the post-apocalyptic universe of the original game.
The Talos Principle 2 appears to pick up where its predecessor left off, delving deeper into the story of the androids who successfully completed the first game’s challenges. However, the exact plot details remain somewhat mysterious. The recently unveiled trailer showcases a futuristic city inhabited by numerous androids, as well as familiar laser puzzles and new gameplay mechanics like gravity manipulation and mind transference. According to Croteam, this sequel will take place in the “biggest, weirdest world” they have ever created, offering players a multitude of philosophical brain teasers, stunning environments, and multiple endings.

The first installment of The Talos Principle received widespread praise, earning an impressive 8.3/10 at launch. IGN’s review highlighted its ability to make players feel intelligent through its well-designed puzzles, which struck a perfect balance between being too easy and overly difficult.
