The Talos Principle 2 is coming this November - while other games dodge the month for being too crowded

The Talos Principle 2, not so much. The philosophical puzzler is launching November 2nd.
"With so many unforgettable games in 2023, it's important that each of them shines brightly. Banishers: Ghosts Of New Eden is no exception," says Don't Nod's delay announcement on Twitter.
"Though finished and set for release, we want Red and Antea's story to get the spotlight it deserves." They then describe its new release date of February 13th as the "perfect date for an epic love story".
Meanwhile, Talos Principle 2 marked its release date announcement with a new trailer:

I do enjoy the symmetry of these announcements, though.
