The Talos Principle 3 revealed to be "coming soon"

Croteam and Devolver Digital have revealed The Talos Principle 3, the final chapter of the thought-provoking first-person puzzle series. This one seems to push things in a slightly wilder and more alien direction, and I will admit I am quite excited to see what they come up with for the finale.

In the press release they mentioned it will be "coming soon" to PC and PlayStation 5. It will have the usual puzzle solving where it gets more complex the further you get into it. From their description of it:

"As if awakening from a troubled sleep, you find yourself in a strange, contradictory world of crumbling temples and abandoned science outposts: the Anomaly, the only place in the universe where the laws of physics don't work as they should. Your memories are fragmented, but you know you came here for a reason.

Tasked with solving a series of increasingly complex puzzles, you will relive your life as an explorer, and with it, the history of the world that humanity built. Some say the Anomaly is Heaven. Some say it’s Hell. All that’s certain is that judgement awaits."

The "coming soon" is probably one with an extended definition. The description of the video says next year. Talos 2 released in November, so if that's the case here as well it's still 18 months away. But that would give it four years of development time, which sounds reasonable.

My buddy and I absolutely LOVED talos 1, but bounced hard off of talos 2. I'm not really sure why. It just didn't seem to have the magic of the first game. The bigger more open world combined with all the different robots in the second one maybe just wasn't for us? I'm not really sure. Hoping 3 is more like 1 perhaps.

I burned out on the first part mainly due to trying to find the hidden stuff, so I still have not finished it. I think I watched some speed runs of the second part and it looked too open for a puzzle game.

Loved Talos 1, got about halfway into it, then life came at me hard and I had no brainwidth to go at the puzzles in my moments of downtime. I'll buy 3 to support the devs and hope that I can pick up where I left off on the series.

Nice, I hope they also fix the PLN price of TTP2 soon, so I can actually buy it instead of just keeping it on my wishlist and boycotting it at the same time, lol.

I finished the first TTP but got burned out playing the second one. I found some of the 3D puzzles to be quite overwhelming, and not so much in the spirit of the first. I'll probably still buy the third game at some point, though, to support the devs!

I only recently bought and played through Talos 2, and actually found it slightly easier than the original. I'll need to grab the DLC at some point.

I enjoyed both games a lot. Looking forward to part three.
