Tim Schafer from Double Fine has confirmed that the studio is focusing on new original titles instead of sequels for now. Following the release of Psychonauts 2, which was enhanced post-acquisition by Microsoft, Double Fine is set to launch Keeper, an atmospheric puzzle adventure game, on October 17, 2025. Schafer indicated that the studio is working on multiple new projects, steering clear of sequels like Brütal Legend 2 or Psychonauts 3, at least in the near future. This creative direction suggests an exciting range of innovative experiences ahead for fans.
