While attending a special developer type Q&A chat for Psychonauts 2 I was able to ask some questions and gain insight into the upcoming game. One of the inquires I wanted to make was in regards to if there were any desire to revisit the original game in the series at some point in the future. It is still of course available via Xbox Backwards Compatibility, but it could use a shine up.

With that, Tim Schafer answered with the following details. ”A lot of source material doesn’t exist, such as the cutscenes and they’d have to be done from scratch. It’s possible in the future, a sequel would actually be easier than doing the first one. The acting, lots of things hold up well. Someday he would love to.”

So that’s the just of what was noted during the reply. Somewhat interesting to read about, and you never know what might happen after the sequel releases. It somewhat means we may very well get a revisit to that original game at some point, definitely not out of the question after that sort of note.

At the same time, they’re definitely focused on the upcoming sequel which will launch on Xbox Game Pass alongside many other platforms. Those are all of details for now, you can our preview of the game ahead of its release below or check out other game hubs for additional coverage.
