Psychonauts 3 Isn't Coming Anytime Soon
Fans hoping for a Psychonauts 3 reveal shouldn't get their hopes up as franchise creator and Double Fine Productions founder Tim Schafer has said it's not being worked on at the moment.
Schafer told Cressup on YouTube that Double Fine is currently in a "closed doors" stage and isn't ready to talk about what it's working on, but he personally isn't working on a sequel to 2021's Psychonauts 2.
"I’m not working on Psychonauts 3," he said plainly. "We’re kind of at the ‘Willy Wonka, closed doors’ phase. But soon we could open and cause a lot of harm to a lot of children, just like Willy Wonka."
This comes despite what many thought was an obvious Psychonauts 3 tease ahead of the 2023 Xbox Games Showcase, though Schafer insisted he didn't see it.
A Microsoft Twitter account shared a noughts and crosses board that spelled out "psycho" outside of three crosses. Many put this together to tease Psychonauts 3, but the Xbox Games Showcase came and went with no reveal.
In our 8/10 review of the second game, IGN said: "Even with a few rough edges, Psychonauts 2 is just about everything I could have hoped for from this long-awaited sequel."
Ryan Dinsdale is an IGN freelance reporter. He'll talk about The Witcher all day.
