Announced during the PlayStation Showcase on 24.05.2023, The Talos Principle 2 will surely not revolutionize its gameplay, since the first images unveiled show a title in the continuity of its illustrious ancestor. First-person view, big emphasis on exploration, puzzles ready to fire neurons, the successful cocktail of the first opus seems to be back.
Ghost in the Shell
Closing with a quote from Shakespeare “What’s past is prologue” (“What is past is a prologue“), taken from Stormthe trailer unveiled by the Croteam shows environments that seem more varied than in The Talos Principle first of the name. Always at the controls of an android, it will therefore be a question of solving a whole series of increasingly complex puzzles, while discovering a story worthy of the most hallucinatory of rabbit holes. Those who have overcome TLP 1 know what it’s all about. Shakespeare’s quote suggests that this number 2 could be a prequel, but knowing Croteam’s taste for covering things up, nothing is less certain. The official press release states that “this new quest invites you to explore a gigantic mysterious structure: it will confront you with new existential questions about the nature of the cosmos, the opposition between faith and reason or the fear of repeating, again and again, the mistakes of human beingss”. The routine in short. Planned for PC, Xbox Series X|S and PS5, The Talos Principle 2 is expected for this year.
