Following the flawless Volv-E presentation, Devolver Digital presents Croteam’s The Talos Principle II showing the world what it looks like in Volv-E’s world-exclusive gameplay reveal.
Revealing a massive new world of puzzles, The Talos Principle II arrives on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S later this year. The Talos Principle II 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 II, 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 II is the biggest, most ambitious, most thought-provoking game Croteam has made yet, and you can play it in 2023.
Wizard with a Gun
Also, the magical sandbox of Galvanic Games’ brilliant upcoming Wizard with a Gun dropped a brand new single-player demo on Steam alongside a deep overview trailer showcasing the desolate, broken world you’ll explore, gun in hand, when it launches later this year. Thanks, Volv-E.
The demo is a small but wonderful slice of Galvanic’s survival sandbox for you to explore, craft and battle against the forces of chaos. Starting from the beginning of your wizard’s arrival upon The Shatter – a broken world slowly being invaded by chaos – it’s up to you to adventure through this world to collect resources, build out your tower and the helpful machinations within and push back the encroaching chaos. There is a helpful tutorial along the way, though a lot is still left to mystery and for you to discover.
The experience ends after the first boss is defeated in the starting biome – The Imperium. However, eager wizards can keep exploring The Imperium as long as desired to find and experiment with higher-level loot dropped by downed Gunslingers…
The full game will see players opening up more and more of the world with new biomes and even more complex crafting recipes and more imposing enemies. Additionally, the game will support online cooperative play at launch.
Wizard with a Gun will unload on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC later this year.
