The Talos Principle 2

About this game

Born into a new world where biological humanity is extinct but human culture lives on in a city of robots, you find yourself swept up in a mind-bending adventure involving a mysterious megastructure hiding enormous powers.

The more you discover, the more you will be confronted with questions about the nature of the cosmos and the purpose of civilization. The broken promise of a better tomorrow, the fear of repeating humankind’s mistakes, faith in reason or renouncing humanity altogether - the choices you make and the sides you take will determine the course of events.

A New Generation of Puzzles

Solve a wide array of puzzles with varying difficulty levels, including clever metapuzzles and highly challenging Gold puzzles. Finish the game without solving every puzzle, or pursue the rewards of complete mastery. A variety of new abilities, such as gravity manipulation and mind transference, join the established mechanics of the original Talos Principle, creating a fresh but familiar experience.

A Philosophical Odyssey

Take the next step forward in the story of The Talos Principle in a thought-provoking, character-driven interactive story with multiple endings penned by returning writers Jonas Kyratzes (The Eternal Cylinder, Clash: Artifacts of Chaos) and Tom Jubert (The Swapper, Subnautica), joined by Verena Kyratzes (The Hand of Merlin, Serious Sam 4).

Brave New World

Explore more than a dozen all-new environments, from a city on the brink of a paradigm shift to the varied landscapes of a mysterious island that holds the keys to the future. Take a break from puzzle-solving to discover long-buried secrets and strands of forgotten history.

The Melodies of Creation

Immerse yourself in the rich, bittersweet world of The Talos Principle with a stunning soundtrack by master composer Damjan Mravunac (Serious Sam, The Talos Principle), with a guest appearance by Chris Christodoulou (Risk of Rain 1 and 2).

  The Talos Principle: Freedom From Necessity

  As we look toward the horizon and eagerly await the next chapter in The Talos Principle 3, now is the perfect time to reflect on what our journey has taught us so far about freedom from necessity.What do we become when we are no longer driven by material need?For thousands of generations, the history of our species was shaped by a singular, exhausting struggle: survival. But what happens when that struggle finally ends? In The Talos Principle II: Road to Elysium, we encounter a world in which the demands of material necessity have finally been overcome.When existence is no longer a battle for resources, we are left with the freedom to simply be. We create art that serves no utilitarian purpose, granting it a touch of the divine. We solve puzzles not out of necessity, but because the act itself is joyful, beautiful, and fundamentally human.Step into the exhibition in "The Isle Of The Blessed" and catch a glimpse of a world beyond necessity.Welcome to the Age of Miracles.

  The Grand Finale | Announcing The Talos Principle 3

  What differentiates a story from the real world, or a simulation? A story is a series of choices, a set of moments captured, examined, and elevated. The real world goes on and on, but a story must have a clear beginning, middle, and end. And so the Talos Principle, a story we have worked on for more than a decade, must also come to an end. When we were creating the original, at a time when the game had finally started to take form but before it was released, we asked ourselves: where does this story go? Not this franchise, not this product, but this story. Is there more to this that needs to be told, and what is it that needs to be captured by those hypothetical future games to create something truthful and beautiful? That's when The Talos Principle II and III were born, and they are so much part of the overall vision that we often think of the whole trilogy as one game in three chapters. Three moments in the history of robotic humanity that together form a bigger picture. Just as Talos II was not the same game as Talos I, so this last game in the series will be unique in its own ways. But we've poured all the same love and consideration into this chapter as we have into the others, building the future world humanity created for itself after the events of Talos II, the mysterious place called the Anomaly, and of course the ingenious new puzzles you'll have to solve, featuring a host of new mechanics. Are you ready for one last journey? The Talos Principle 3 is coming next year to PC and PS5. Wishlist now! https://store.steampowered.com/app/3703630/The_Talos_Principle_3/

More importantly, this demo features the fully featured Puzzle Editor, allowing you to create complete episodes with any number of levels. Re-empowering the modding scene Incredible user-generated content has been the backbone of our games for a long time. Our modding community gave birth to awesome experiences for everyone, and some of the most prominent modders have become integral parts of Croteam over the years. As we shifted away from our proprietary engine to Unreal while developing The Talos Principle 2, we faced a challenging question: How do we continue empowering our talented community and allowing it to create incredible Talos experiences in the future? The answer was obvious: We only need a powerful built-in tool that removes all technical obstacles and allows our fans to focus on their creativity rather than learning how things work. How hard can it be, right? In comes the Puzzle Editor. This powerful tool is available to everyone from the main menu and comes with full Workshop support. You can use it to create full episodes with any number of levels, puzzles, and mechanics. You can easily decorate your levels and switch seamlessly between ancient Roman, Egyptian, Medieval, and Alpine settings. The demo Workshop is fully compatible with the one in the full game, so your efforts in this pre-launch period won't be lost. Create your puzzles and episodes now, then seamlessly transfer them to the main game once it launches on April 10. The Elohim Challenge Before you play, allow us to use this opport...
