It isn't easy to comprehend that The Talos Principle was launched nine years ago on this day. Coming from a long history of shooter game development, this game showed us and everyone around us that Croteam is more than just a Serious Sam developer.

We have created something unique with The Talos Principle, so we invite you all to celebrate this anniversary with us and grab whatever you're missing at all-time low prices. The Talos Principle, The Talos Principle 2, and all related content are heavily discounted now.

The discounts will extend to and through the Steam Winter Sale, so tell your friends to jump in on the philosophical puzzle-solving action.

Much love from Croteam!

The wait is finally over. The Talos Principle 2 is OUT NOW, and we can't stress enough how excited we are to see you experience this new chapter in The Talos Principle series.

The original game launched in 2014 and completely shifted the perspective everyone had on Croteam. At that point, we stopped being developers who knew how to do shooters and not much else and proved to everyone that we could do much more. The Talos Principle is, to this day, our most critically acclaimed title, and we are confident that the sequel will do it justice.

We hope you enjoy playing it just as much as we enjoyed making it.

Hi everyone,
We are very happy today to announce The Talos Principle 2 is launching on November 2.

This is a very special project for us. For one, it allowed us to continue the story of The Talos Principle, a game that shaped us just as much as Serious Sam did. But also, The Talos Principle 2 started a new chapter for us, as we transitioned from developing our own technology to Unreal Engine, which allowed us to put 100% of our focus on creating the best gaming experience we can.

We cannot wait for everyone to hop in The Talos Principle 2 on November 2nd, and experience this new adventure with us.

You can pre-purchase The Talos Principle 2 now at 10% off, and if you own the original you can secure an additional discount.

Thanks for all your support!

Hi puzzle lovers,
The Talos Principle 2 is launching this year, and we'll have some big news for you later this week. Exciting, right?

https://store.steampowered.com/app/835960/The_Talos_Principle_2/

To warm you up for playing The Talos Principle 2 soon and the incoming piece of news, we thought we'd warm you up with some reading/watching - 'in case you missed it' style.

First up, why don't you take a look at this great interview from a few months back? Jonas and Verena Kyratzes, gameplay designer Davor Tomicic, and game designer Davor Hunski sat down with Thinky Games during the latest Cerebral Puzzle Showcase and talked what led to TTP2, how it's structured, and what it even is in the first place.


We had a great time showing The Talos Principle 2 to press behind closed doors at Gamescom, which led to some really cool previews. Read some cool previews below.

"This optimistic, human-first approach makes The Talos Principle 2 subversive as a work of contemporary sci-fi." - Engadget

"If the first game was about what it means to be an individual, the sequel asks what that means for the society that individuals form." - PC Gamer

"Talos II aims to continue and deepen the mythology set out in the first game." - COG Connected[cogconnected.com]

"The Talos Principle 2 is shaping up to be 2023’s can’t-miss puzzle game" - DigitalTrends[www.digitaltrends.com]

“I'm Ready For The Talos Principle 2 To Put My Brain In A Vice” - The Gamer[www.thegamer.com]


The Talos Principle 2 is a character-driven exploration of philosophical ideas about faith, technology, history, and the future. We could not have made a game about what it means to be human without these remarkable people.

Erin Fitzgerald as Alexandra Drennan was the heart and soul of the first game. She returns as Athena, the Founder of New Jerusalem. Because whose voice would she have taken if not Alexandra Drennan's?

Byron is an optimist, a believer in the humanist ideals of Alexandra Drennan, frustrated by the direction his civilization has been taking. He needed the charm and conviction that the amazing Peter Wingfield brought to the part, which was written for him.

Yaqut is a young explorer still figuring out his place in the world and struggling with some of the more difficult sides of humanity. We needed someone who could bring real heart, humor and vulnerability to the part, so we wrote it for Adam Green - and got him!

New Jerusalem's Chief Engineer Melville is a fascinating character, rough around the edges but with a lot going on underneath. She has to grapple with the implications of what you will discover in the Megastructure and Rachel Atkins brought that process to life beautifully.

Byron's best friend Alcatraz does not share his ideas and worries that humanity will repeat the mistakes of the past. We needed someone who could play this less optimistic perspective with warmth and honesty. It was hard to find the right actor, but Ian Porter blew us away.

Cornelius is a pivotal figure in the history of New Jerusalem, a figure of great wisdom and emotional depth, and we approached Sean Branney for this part because we were certain he could deliver. He did, in spades.

Miranda is a mysterious and important character tied to the history of the Megastructure. She sees a great deal of beauty in the world, and we needed someone who could really convey her sense of wonder. Grace Hogg-Robinson was absolutely perfect.

Trevor was a coworker of Alexandra Drennan's. His recordings give us a different perspective of the events at the Institute for Applied Noematics. Who could play this lovable working-class guy? Only the one it was written for: Joe Lynch.

The man who defined the Talos Principle itself also makes an appearance, and casting Straton of Stageira was not easy! Until we heard Howard Ward, who captured the voice of a brilliant, complex man who didn't get along terribly well with the philosophers of his own time.

Lifthrasir is a mysterious, eccentric explorer with a uniquely harsh philosophical perspective. He seems to have preceded you on the island - if you can find them, his recordings may challenge your views on Nature and humanity. David Annen really grasped the character's voice.

And of course it wouldn't be a Talos game without Tim Watson's flawless performance of ELOHIM, whose role in the story is much gentler this time.

This is just a selection of the lovely people who helped us bring robotic humanity alive. We are thankful to all of them and can't wait for you to enjoy their performances when the game launches later this year.

Many years, what seems like an entire lifetime ago, we have bent, twisted, and tickled your mind with our puzzler, The Talos Principle. The game was a substantial directional spin on everything we've done before. Making it, then seeing you play it, has been one of the most incredible experiences of our lives.

This is why we are ecstatic to announce The Talos Principle 2.

We hope you stay with us for another ride. It will be wild.

Much love from Croteam!
