Some of the best ideas in gaming often come from unexpected places. The Talos Principle is one such story—a critically acclaimed philosophical puzzle game that was never supposed to exist in the first place. What started as an experiment in gameplay mechanics during the development of Serious Sam evolved into an entirely new game that none of the developers had initially planned. This is the st…
Hi everyone! We're a few months away from the launch of The Talos Principle: Reawakened , we'll let you know when that's happening soon enough, so we thought we'd look back at why the game exists in the first place. But first, please wishlist the game now if you haven't already. Remakes and remasters are not rare, but they are certainly not often seen in the indie space. Well, maybe they are in…
Dear fans and friends, A decade ago, when we released The Talos Principle, we had no idea what to expect. We poured a huge amount of love and creativity into that project, creating a philosophical puzzle game that no-one had expected from the makers of Serious Sam. It was heartwarming to see so many people around the world embrace it. Now we are announcing The Talos Principle: Reawakened. After…
Hi everyone. We are extremely proud to announce that The Talos Principle 2: Road to Elysium is available now. This three-part coda delivers three individual character-driven stories about love, hope, and despair. But stories are not where things end. Oh, no! All three chapters are tailored to challenge your puzzle-solving skills in new ways. Some of them will be fun and casual, while others wil…
It isn't easy to comprehend that The Talos Principle was launched nine years ago on this day. Coming from a long history of shooter game development, this game showed us and everyone around us that Croteam is more than just a Serious Sam developer. We have created something unique with The Talos Principle, so we invite you all to celebrate this anniversary with us and grab whatever you're missi…
The wait is finally over. The Talos Principle 2 is OUT NOW, and we can't stress enough how excited we are to see you experience this new chapter in The Talos Principle series. The original game launched in 2014 and completely shifted the perspective everyone had on Croteam. At that point, we stopped being developers who knew how to do shooters and not much else and proved to everyone that we co…
The Talos Principle 2 is just a couple of weeks away, but did you know you can get a taste of it right now?

Hi everyone, We are very happy today to announce The Talos Principle 2 is launching on November 2. This is a very special project for us. For one, it allowed us to continue the story of The Talos Principle, a game that shaped us just as much as Serious Sam did. But also, The Talos Principle 2 started a new chapter for us, as we transitioned from developing our own technology to Unreal Engine, w…

Many years, what seems like an entire lifetime ago, we have bent, twisted, and tickled your mind with our puzzler, The Talos Principle.

This is why we are ecstatic to announce The Talos Principle 2. We hope you stay with u…

Hi everyone! Most of you have already heard of our newest co-production effort, Hand of Merlin. Well, the time has come to release the beast, so to speak. Made by some of the standout Croteam veterans who worked on The Talos Principle, and written by Jonas and Verena Kyratzes, Hand of Merlin blends Arthurian legend with sci-fi horror. The game is a tactical masterpiece if I do say so myself, bu…

Have you ever been to Gamescom ? It's the biggest game show in the world. It's hot, humid, loud, exhausting, and expensive. Sometimes it rains, too. And we miss it all. Well, maybe not all of it, and certainly not the crowds, but we do miss talking to everybody, watching people when they get thir first victory in The Hand of Merlin, and cackling nervously when they ragequit after the wipe. :) T…
“I would have never guessed!” This is a sort of reaction we usually get when people learn that the same studio made both Serious Sam and The Talos Principle , one we heard many times before. Yes, there’s a stark difference between a frantic first-person shooter and a philosophical puzzler, but guess what? Some of us love turn-based games even better! So much so, that a group of Croteam’s lead e…
Hey everyone! We've got some cool news for you today. As some of you might know, behind the scenes we have been working on updating The Talos Principle to the latest version of our engine.

The current Serious Engine is vastly upgraded comparing to the one that was used back when The Talos Principle was released on Steam. Ther…
