Costume Quest Is Getting a Sequel

My body is ready

Oh. I agree. It is time for them to focus on their IPs.

Psychonauts 2 and Brutal Legend 2.

Well maybe next year is going to be the year for Bad Golf 3.

Also: Wooo Costume Quest

YAY!

I LOVED Costume Quest but I think I'd need to see some added depth to buy in to the sequel.

...especially with the similar yet deeper South Park game out there.

Will somebody give Tim Schafer an Oscar, Please?!

Candy from a hardware store? Ew

Looks like my Halloween is already booked this year.

I hate Halloween but this game is adorable.

I am stoked. I think this is one of the first games in a long time that I have been genuinely giddy about, besides maybe Soma.

I loved the first Costume Quest. A sequel would be great and hopefully it's a little deeper than the original, which was fun but not something I needed to ever go back to.

Oh heck yeah.

I think I enjoyed the first one but can't remember why.

This is, by far, my favorite Double Fine game, so I am super excited and surprised to see this. The first one was a lot of fun and, most importantly to me, had a really great atmosphere. I really need to play it again.

Psychonauts 2? brutal legend 2? no? yeah nevermind than.

that is unless costume quest 2 is voice acted instead of slow text.

Excited, and I didn't expect this!

Haha awesome. I loved the first game. It's definitely a concept with room to expand.

These guys are great!

YES! Can't wait!

Awesome news!

Like others have said, I hope they flesh it out a bit more. As thoroughly charming as the first game was, it felt a bit too empty and simplistic to me. It's a series they could do a lot with, if they pull out all the stops.

About damn time!

Yesss!

Ah.. I thought they had more than 4 projects going on at the moment. Other older Amnesia Fortnight projects and such.

woot

@rastemen: SERIOUSLY, indie publisher http://www.midnight-city.com/

Yay!

Terrible trailer. I do want some Charlston Chew though.

I like the first game. Hopefully the sequel is a little more fleshed out though. Combat in the first one was simplistic to say the least.

Stoked! Loved the first one!

@d_w: They have 4 internal teams and 4 games to go with them. Broken Age, SpaceBase, Massive Chalice, and now Costume Quest!

No worries. The worry would be if they had under 4 games in development (because that's a team without a game to work on).

And as far as this announcement trailer goes... I frikin loved it!

yeah, going to buy this. bought it on psn when it first dropped in price for $10 and beat it that night. sure it's as simple as an rpg can get but i just couldn't stop playing. the art style, the music and just the overall charm got to me. it was worth every cent. thank the heavens we still got people like tim schafer in this industry.

One day I will dump an enormous bucket of candy out on the table and just go at it. It is my new dream.

Are we going to party? Will there be clothing?

Yay! That dude has a goofy beard.

I really liked Costume Quest--I love imaginative, kid-friendly Halloween movies and games--and I desperately hope CQ2 gets a bigger budget to fill out the vision that was so well... imagined, rather than realized... in the original.

And the foley folks should get a raise. Or be fired. Those eating FX were disturbing.

And, and... great trailer!

My wife just said "YAY!" in the cutest way ever. :3 Thanks, DoubleFine!

This pretty much makes my year! Instantly my number 1 most wanted game!

Big smile :D

They made a sequel to Happy Action Theater, no?

More Double Fine goodness! I'm glad they're doing well and got so many varied games in different genres coming up. Far cry from their earlier solely publisher dependent days where they seemed a game cancellation away from closing always.

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssss!!!!!! Double Friggin Fineeee!

This is a pleasant surprise. I really enjoyed Costume Quest and never expected a sequel to that game, of all games, but I'll be happy to play it!

well shit, now I want candy.

This is Double Fine's first sequel. Maybe they'll do more?

Ahhh yiiiiis super happy about this :D
