‘The Talos Principle 2’ is likely to be a narrative based puzzle game presented from a first person or a third person perspective, just like its predecessor. The android wakes up and steps into the real world at the end of ‘The Talos Principle’, and the second game could pick up right there, with all new puzzles and obstacles to overcome in the physical world. Now we don’t exactly know what the plot for ‘The Talos Principle 2’ is going to be, but a strong possibility is that it will be a direct sequel to the first game. You then wake up in the desolate real world, free from any humans.Īlternatively, if you guide the android into a secret entrance at the central tower, a third ending is unlocked where the android becomes one of the Messengers, tasked with aiding future generations of AI. However, if you choose to climb the forbidden tower and reach the top, the android ascends and the virtual program is deleted. If you accept Elohim’s offer, the android fails the independence check and the entire game restarts with a new iteration of AI. Depending on what you do here, the game features three distinct endings. Once the player has finished all the puzzles, Elohim offers you the opportunity to join him. To achieve this, Elohim and the virtual space was created to test new AI entities for their intelligence (via puzzle solving) as well as the existence of free will (demonstrated by acts of defiance). In order to preserve the sum total of humanity’s knowledge, several scientists launched the Extended Lifespan program to develop mechanical creatures to propagate humanity’s legacy. Slowly, you unearth the truth behind the real world humanity was driven to extinction a long while ago due to a lethal virus that was unleashed due to global warming and melting ice caps. A text program called the Milton Library Interface even actively encourages the android to defy Elohim. On the other hand, other AI entities may encourage the android to ask more questions. In the world, you meet several other AI entities including a messengers, who follow the bidding of Elohim. He also warns you not to climb the tower at the center of the world.Īs you navigate the world around you, it quickly becomes apparent that it is actually a virtual reality world inside a program. Your character is an android that is being instructed by a faceless entity named Elohim, who asks you to explore the world and solve various puzzles to collect signals. The story of ‘The Talos Principle’ starts off with the player character waking up in a sterile environment. Both games feature a futuristic plot line involving Artificial Intelligence and a heavy emphasis on first person puzzle solving. Let’s begin by acknowledging that the original ‘The Talos Principle’ is inspired by Valve’s ‘Portal’ and ‘Portal 2’ games. Kyratzes also spoke in depth about the studio's efforts to give its big, dumb shooter a more engaging narrative bent (which was actually the point of the interview) that you can read all about here.What Can We Expect From The Talos Principle 2? There's no word on when The Talos Principle 2 might be out, but Croteam's next game, Serious Sam 4, arrives on Steam and GOG on September 24. And I don't even mean us, the writers, although we worked our asses off too, but the programming, the art, all of that, oh God. If people understood how much work goes into this, it's so frightening, it's so insane how much work goes into this. It's very challenging in other ways, but the technical aspect of it, of course, when you don't have thousands of enemies running around all the time and have to deal with guns and god knows what, it's all a bit easier," he said. He also said the studio is looking forward to The Talos Principle 2, "because it's a lot easier to do than Sam."
