Croteam and Devolver Digital are proud to announce The Talos Principle 2, the long-awaited sequel to 2014’s smash hit philosophical puzzler.

Coming to PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X in 2023, The Talos Principle 2 greatly expands on the beloved original with more mind-bending puzzles to solve, new puzzle mechanics, a richer storyline, more secrets to uncover, and the biggest, weirdest world Croteam has ever built.

Set in a distant future where humankind has long been extinct, human culture lives on through interminable robots made in our image. Embarking on a quest to investigate a mysterious megastructure, you will be confronted with questions about the nature of the cosmos, faith versus reason, and the fear of repeating humankind’s mistakes.

Familiar puzzles will return in The Talos Principle 2, accompanied by unique new gameplay including mind transference and gravity manipulation. There’s also a deep character-driven story with multiple endings to lose yourself in, and a series of strange, stunningly beautiful environments to explore—including a city on the brink of a paradigm shift and an island holding the keys to the future.

The Talos Principle 2 is the biggest, most ambitious, most thought-provoking game Croteam has made yet, and you can play it later this year.

Denver, USA – May 24th, 2023 – Independent game studio Hilltop Studios, in collaboration with Versus Evil, have revealed a sneak peek at its upcoming narrative-driven deduction adventure game Lil’ Guardsman ahead of its launch later this year on PC, Switch, PlayStation, and Xbox Series consoles!

Lil’ Guardsman puts players in the role of a young girl who finds herself covering for her dad, the head castle guardsman.

This new blog post provides an overview of such gadgets and gizmos Lil has at her disposal. Learn about the cypher-cracking Decoder Ring, the transparently named Truth Spray, or the all-seeing X-RAY machine. If all else fails you can resort to the trusty Bullwhip!
