A tweet from the Xbox Australia and New Zealand account may – may! – be teasing Psychonauts 3. That is the conclusion of a lot of the web, anyway. The tweet encompasses a image of a noughts and crosses board (aka tic-tac-toe) during which the letters for PSYCHO are written in pink and interspersed with three inexperienced Xs.
Psycho. Noughts and crosses. Three Xs. You’ll be able to see the place they’re coming from.
Here is the tweet:
WHAT DOES IT MEAN??

“What does it imply?” asks the textual content above the picture. “No please critically, somebody assist us out”.
Why would a sequel to Double Fantastic’s Psychonauts be teased by an Xbox account devoted to Australia and New Zealand? I do not know. Double Fantastic are an American studio primarily based in San Francisco, however I’d not wager on social media advertising and marketing technique being globally coherent or logical. Microsoft’s not-E3 Xbox Video games Showcase takes place on June eleventh, which might be a superb time to disclose some new video games.
Alice appreciated the imaginative platformer sequel quite a bit in her Psychonauts 2 evaluate again in 2021. It wasn’t a straightforward sport to make, because the just lately launched (and fantastic) 32-episode making-of documentary made clear. Having watched that, it might make sense to me that Double Fantastic would get to the top of the challenge and assume, hey, we’re arrange to do that nicely now, let’s simply hold doing it nicely.
That mentioned, I can even think about them going, hey, we have been engaged on this sport for years and are sick of it, let’s do one thing else. “Psycho XXX” may imply so many issues. Perhaps it is a sequel to 2000’s first-person shooter Kiss: Psycho Circus? These aren’t crosses, they’re… Peter Crisses?
As ever, take your hearsay and hypothesis with a handful of salt.
