The Psychonauts Collectors Edition will include additional content not included in the standard edition. The long-awaited successor to the 2006 cult hit platformer Psychonauts was released by Double Fine last year, and it appears that the makers left a significant amount of content on the cutting room floor. Later this year, fans will finally be able to view a few of these stripped-down designs when the Collector’s edition is released.

Director of marketing and communications James Spafford recently discussed the need to reduce material. Psychonauts 2 was developed by Double Fine and iam8bit’s director of product and retail, Anna Bihari, to be a collector’s item.

We didn’t have time to do everything in the game, so I’m hoping other players will find a lot of goodies here.

They range from cut abilities to story elements that were considered but ultimately scrapped. However, he said a lot of things that didn’t make it into Psychonauts 2 ended up having a significant impact on the direction of the game.

It has been decided that the Collector’s Edition will be issued in the fourth quarter of 2022. The official website of the company is linked to the companies. However, there is no indication of a PC version on the firm’s website that bought the PlayStation 2 franchise.

In addition to these special items, the Collector’s Edition also includes many others. In addition to the game, the Motherlode Edition of Psychonauts 2 also had a lenticular O-sleeve, a sticker pack, six art cards, a reversible cover sheet, and an exclusive behind-the-scenes feature. Aside from the game itself, the Collector’s Edition comes with a particular Collector’s Edition Box, five Feast of the Senses Pins, an 18×24″ Blacklight Poster of Raz, the protagonist of Psychonauts 2, a “Raz’s Archetype” poster designed by Chris Lam, an additional sticker sheet, and the game itself. The new Collector’s Edition Box Art by Arno Kiss is included in the game’s release.
