Psychonauts PSVR Game Gets a Release Date

Bridging the gap between Psychonauts 1 and 2.

By Andrew Goldfarb

Double Fine has announced that Psychonauts in the Rhombus of Ruin will be released for PlayStation VR on February 21.

Psychonauts in the Rhombus of Ruin is a PSVR exclusive and picks up immediately after the story of the original Psychonauts, bridging the gap between that game and the upcoming Psychonauts 2. The story will see Raz trying to rescue his friends entirely using his psychic powers.

In PSVR, players see the world in first-person through the eyes of Raz, plus as other players via the power of Clairvoyance. Raz will use other powers including Telekinesis and Pyrokinesis.

Psychonauts in the Rhombus of Ruin was first announced back in 2015. Separately, Double Fine also announced Psychonauts 2, which was successfully funded on Fig and is expected to release in 2018. If that’s still not enough Psychonauts for you, the original game is currently available on PS4 as a PS2 classic.
