Psychonauts 2 will not release in 2019 as planned. Developer Double Fine, which was recently acquired by Microsoft, has announced that the adventure game is shifting to 2020.The news was announced in a post to Fig, the crowdfunding website where the game raised $3.9 million in funding back in 2016. In the post, Double Fine said the delay--while it`s tough--is the right thing to do to make Psychonauts 2 a better game.`We`re now targeting next year for release. We know it`s always disappointing when you have to wait a bit longer, but we also know that you are an amazing, supportive bunch, who--just like us --want the game to be as good as possible. So we`re hopeful you`ll understand,` Double Fine said.Double Fine also confirmed in the blog post that, despite being bought by Microsoft, the studio will still honor Psychonauts 2`s release on every promised platform. That means the game will still come to PlayStation 4; it`s also coming to Xbox One and PC.While you have to wait until 2020 to play Psychonauts 2, Double Fine`s next game--the 3D action rogue-like game called Rad--will release on August 20 for console and PC. That game is published by Bandai Namco.
