Developer Croteam and its publisher, Devolver Digital, are rewinding the clock on their acclaimed puzzle adventure franchise, The Talos Principle, in 2025. The developer released its sequel, The Talos Principle 2, in November 2023 to critical acclaim, for which it was praised for its multifaceted and deeply engaging storytelling, philosophical themes, and clever yet challenging puzzles.

More than ten years after The Talos Principle's release, Croteam and Devolver Digital announced that a remaster would be coming to consoles and PCs in early 2025. The Talos Principle Reawakened will be the definitive version of the original release, in which the developer stated that it will "keep the game fresh for years to come and allow a whole new audience to explore the Simulation."

The development team has worked tirelessly on this project, pouring all their "love and creativity into this project," the primary goal is for The Talos Principle Reawakened is not just another remaster "with gorgeous graphics" but to add something more meaningful to it. "There are quality-of-life improvements that make a real difference," a puzzle editor, a "whole new story" for layers to experience, and "developer commentaries."

"Let's talk philosophy for a moment. We don't just think of games as products. These are the works that we will leave behind for future generations. The Talos Principle: Reawakened will both refresh and preserve this wonderful game that means so much to us," Croteam stated in the announcement post.

The Talos Principle: Reawakened can be added to players' Wishlists for the abovementioned platforms, and it has yet to be determined if it will be optimized for the PlayStation 5 Pro and its availability via the Xbox Game Pass.
