The Talos Principle 2 Discreetly Announced
Shhh!
The Talos Principle 2 is coming. At some point. In some form. That's all I can tell you. Croteam's Alen Ladavac confirmed it during a talk at the Nordic Game conference this morning, and that's all. It is coming. Which is grand!
The Talos Principle [official site] arrived in December 2014 so, although the philsophical first-person puzzler is pretty great, it got a little lost in the usual December busyness. But the Serious Sam gang followed it up with a fine expansion in 2015 and evidently all is right in the world, because a sequel is coming too.
Now, the chain of this announcement is a bit messy. But do keep up. So. This chap, Damir Đurović, saw Ladavac's Talos Principle talk at Nordic Game today and apparently the end of the talk included a cheeky mention of a sequel:

That'd be a pretty indirect announcement for me to post about, but Croteam's own Twitter account retweeted that so... unless they're pulling some serious japes, rolling deep in the bants with the lads on a Friday, it's probably legit.
At the complete opposite end of the first-person game spectrum, Croteam have also been working on Serious Sam 4. Last we heard, Jonas Kyratzes and Verena Kyratzes had signed up as writers for it. You might remember them from the Lands of Dream games, and Jonas wrote on Talos too. It's nice that they've become super-pals with Croteam.
