Double Fine Productions says Br\u00fctal Legend<\/a> 2 isn\u2019t in development right now. In his latest comments, Tim Schafer pretty much puts to rest the idea that Double Fine is gearing up for a surprise sequel reveal. He\u2019d already said back in August 2025<\/strong> that the studio was working on multiple new projects, and that none of them were sequels.<\/p>\n

What has changed is Double Fine\u2019s situation. After the studio split off from Xbox Game Studios in July 2026<\/strong>, it got control of its future back and recovered the IP and publishing rights to its full catalog, including Br\u00fctal Legend and Psychonauts 2<\/a>. Schafer has also said he\u2019s still interested in doing some kind of follow-up, but he sounds pulled in two directions: making the more straightforward action-adventure game a lot of fans want, or leaning harder into the original game\u2019s more divisive real-time strategy side.<\/p>\n\n

So if you assumed independence would lead straight to a sequel, that\u2019s clearly not where things stand. Double Fine has also restructured and cut 23 jobs<\/strong>, and right now the studio seems more focused on smaller experiments like Amnesia Fortnight. On August 31, 2026, a Kickstarter will let people back a prototype that could turn into a smaller full game. In the meantime, you can still buy Double Fine\u2019s older games, and doing that directly supports the newly independent studio.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
