The much loved Psychonauts could see a sequel, that is, if Minecraft creator, Notch, has a say in it
Tim Shafer's Psychonauts is widely regarded as a classic, and one of the best platformers of recent times by critics. Sadly, the 2005 game didn't do all that well commercially, and so, publisher interest in putting out a sequel has been lacking, despite Shafer's best efforts to drum up support.
Well, now the situation has taken an interesting turn. Minecraft developer, Markus "Notch" Persson, has made an offer via Twitter to Tim Shafer, simply saying "Let's make Psychonauts 2 happen."
The offer, followed up with a confirmation that he was serious about his statement has, so far, received no feedback from Shafer, but, with Minecraft selling so well, there's little doubt that Notch could provide the funds to get Psychonauts 2 off the ground.
The question is, does Tim Shafer really want to get stuck into the sequel? Reports have already surfaced that Tim and Markus are in talks. If so, we could see the resurrection of a dormant franchise that fans have asking for.
