Starbreeze to publish Psychonauts 2, investing $8 million, releasing 2018
跨平台冒险新作《Psychonauts 2》2018 年中登场
瑞典游戏发行商 Starbreeze Studios 于日前宣布与北美游戏开发商 Double Fine Productions 合作，将提供 800 万美元作为 2005 年推出的《Psychonauts》续作《Psychonauts 2》开发费用，预定 2018 年中上市，版本为 PC、PlayStation 4 及 Xbox One。
在 2016 年 1 月透过游戏专用云端募资系统「Fig」募得约 383 万开发资金的《Psychonauts 2》，故事描述从可透过特殊心灵能力（PSI Power）控制人心的「Psychonauts」（サイコノーツ）学校毕业的开朗主角拉兹（ラズ）与伙伴们携手展开冒险的过程。
Starbreeze Publishing signs Double Fine’s highly anticipated Psychonauts 2
Starbreeze, an independent creator, publisher and distributor of high quality entertainment products, has signed a publishing agreement with Double Fine Productions regarding the game Psychonauts 2, to be released in 2018. Starbreeze will invest $8 million USD to bring the game to PC and other console platforms through digital distribution.
Starbreeze will be the major investor in the project, which also has been funded by Double Fine itself, as well as through a successful crowdfunding Fig campaign in which gamers invested directly to take part in potential future profits.
Starbreeze will be able to recoup 100% of its full investment including marketing costs with an initial revenue share of 85% after distribution and platform fees and Fig crowdfunding revenue share. Starbreeze share of revenues will become 60% after the investment is recouped. Double Fine will retain 100% of the intellectual property relating to Psychonauts 2.
Psychonauts 2 is a third-person action/adventure platformer where players control Razputin Aquato – a newly graduated Psychonaut with powerful psychic abilities – as he delves into the minds of others. The player will use Raz’s PSI powers, such as telekinesis, pyrokinesis, and levitation, in combination with Raz’s acrobatic platforming skills, to explore the mental worlds of the game’s eccentric characters.
The story of Psychonauts 2 picks up directly after the events of the first game, and the VR adventure Psychonauts in the Rhombus of Ruin, but players will not need to have played those games to follow the events of Psychonauts 2. In this new story, Raz arrives at Psychonaut headquarters, excited to finally become an official Psychonaut, but soon finds himself torn between the laws of the Psychonauts, his loyalty to his friends, and a secret mission that could undo everything for which he has fought so hard.
“Many of us gamers who’ve grown up during 70’s and 80’s have at some point come across the great games from Double Fine and Tim Schafer. Games like Grim Fandango, Day of the Tentacle, Full Throttle, and Brütal Legend are all in the list of personal all time favorites for many of us. We’re very proud to be able to add this prominent collaboration to our Publishing business. Starbreeze is looking forward to support Double Fine in bringing the new and exciting game Psychonauts 2 to young and old gamers world wide” said Bo Andersson-Klint, Starbreeze CEO
“Starbreeze is the perfect partner for Double Fine and our backers on Psychonauts 2,” said Double Fine President and CEO Tim Schafer, “Their expertise in not just developing and publishing games, but supporting them after launch will be a great benefit for players of the game.”
