\"Brutal<\/a><\/p>\n

Psychonauts<\/a> team Double Fine is going to share “what’s next for the studio” today as part of a livestream on the Kinda Funny Games YouTube channel<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Having just returned to independence after years of ownership under Microsoft, the developer plans to talk about its future on the live show scheduled to start in the coming hours. I doubt you’re going to get actual game announcements out of the livestream, but I presume Tim Schafer will be there to talk about how Double Fine will approach its future.<\/p>\n

Whatever happens, I’ll update this article with the news.<\/p>\n

So…is this thing still on? \ud83c\udf99\ufe0f\ud83d\ude05<\/p>\n

Because @timoflegend.bsky.social\u00a0will be heading to @kindafunnyvids.bsky.social\u00a0*TOMORROW AFTERNOON* (Aug 21, time TBA) to talk about what’s next for the studio. Come support our indie-pendence with some KFBFs. See you there!<\/p>\n

At the end of last month, 23 employees had to be let go from Double Fine in order to ensure the team’s future. “As a small, tightly-knit team, these actions are not taken lightly. Only the survival of our studio would ever make us consider such a painful action. Our transition to becoming an independent company also means becoming a size that we can sustain,” Schafer said.<\/p>\n

As well as the Psychonauts series, Double Fine also made Brutal Legend<\/a>, Broken Age<\/a>, Costume Quest<\/a>, Stacking<\/a>, and much more. If comebacks for any of these franchises were on the cards, which one would you hope it would be? Let us know in the comments below.<\/p>\n
