Publisher Devolver Digital announces
The Talos Principle, saying this puzzle
game will be the next release from
Serious Sam creator Croteam this autumn for
Windows, OS X, Linux, PlayStation 4. Here's
a teaser trailer, and
here's what they're revealing for now:
Devolver Digital has
announced Croteam's new game, The Talos Principle! According to the
description for the game's
teaser trailer's description, The Talos Principle is a first person game
that has the player, a construct designed by an artificial intelligence, solving
over 120 puzzles through digital recreations of ruins from different eras, such
as Rome and ancient Egypt. Little information has been given about how the game
plays, but it seems to be based on manipulating laser beams and computer
terminals. The Talos Principle uses Serious Engine 4, which the teaser trailer
description says has “ new proprietary method to scan real world locations and
historical elements into the game world”. The game will be released for the PC,
PS4, Linux, and Mac this autumn!
The game is written by Tom Jubert, the person who wrote the stories for FTL and
The Swapper, and Jonas Kyratzes, who wrote Infinite Ocean. The Talos Principle
is about intelligence and what the term “meaning” means as it relates to a dying
world. It seems that the story will play a very prominent part of the game,
unlike the Serious Sam games.
