I don’t want to get you too excited, and honestly, this is kind of cruel, but I felt compelled to share it with you anyway because it concerns a dream of mine that I know a lot of you share. Double Fine have added a new t-shirt to their online store to promote a new marketing push on behalf of…wait for it…Whispering Rock Psychic Summer Camp! I know. Breathe. We’ll get through this.
The shirt was spied by Game Informer, and what’s particularly eye-catching about the shirt (aside from it just being a straight up snazzy shirt), is the following snippet of the description that accompanies it:
“Whispering Rock is always updating their image in order to attract a new generation of psychic campers to the shores of Lake Oblongata.”
Mention of a “new generation” in reference to Psychonauts? Quick! Lungs...tightening up. Need brown paper bag now! Speaking of brown, here's a look at the new shirt:
Obviously, this is far from confirmation that Tim Schafer and company are currently developing Psychonauts 2 (stupid non-confirming t-shirt!), but when added to recent comments made by Schafer to Eurogamer, which suggested that a Psychonauts sequel could be on the horizon, there’s definitely a sense that something is brewing over at Double Fine. At least, that’s what I would desperately like to believe.

Pyschonauts 2 on current generation consoles makes me salivate.

... My head can't cope with the suspense and idea of a teaser to a Psychonauts sequel. Going to get some pre-scripted meds to calm down now. :P

You know I've never head of psychonauts till after some reviews and most of them where very good marks. To be very nice to everyone I never seen one ad on tv. The "IT" game at the time as Advent Rising and that game bombed like crazy.
I hope to find it and play it till I get the red ring of death on my XBOX 360.

If the shirt is being made by them then it does seem fishy.

I would love to see another psychonauts game if for nothing else than to get away from the FPS rush that seems to be happening recently. That and Tim Schafer's dark sense of humor always made me laugh.

I hope not PSYCHONUTS was one of the worst games I ever had the displeasure of laying my hands on.

ehhh...bit of a stretch to me. You are indeed a cruel super villain, Jake Gaskill.

Please be true. I have heard Double Fine has been looking for funding for something.

Oh Tim, how you torture us so! PLEASE let this be a tease for a sequel and not just a figment of our overactive imaginations!

Maybe they should release it as Download-able episodes.
Who knows what would happen

For the past couple of years, Tim Schafer has done everything to make Psychonauts as available as possible. It initially began on PS2, Xbox, and PC. Now consumers can get it for ridiculously inexpensive prices on Steam (as ContoIV pointed out above) and Xbox Live Marketplace. Schafer already said in that interview that if Double Fine ever had aspirations of creating a sequel, the original game would need to become more popular. Who would purchase the sequel to a game that almost nobody paid attention to?
I personally believe a sequel is in the works, but Double-Fine needs to actually make some serious profit on this one.
Pyschonauts was truly an excellent title, one of my utmost favorites. And I would like to point out it was "The Feedback" who encouraged me to pick it up. I love it when you guys discuss cult games. Now I want "Ico" and "Deadly Premonition".

The t-shirt looks great! I would love another Psychonauts game! If it came out for the pc, I know I would buy it.
Blue_Vortex
while another psychonaughts would be great, I want to see something new and original come from double fine more, but either way I'm considering getting that shirt.
