Re-empowering the modding scene

Incredible user-generated content has been the backbone of our games for a long time. Our modding community gave birth to awesome experiences for everyone, and some of the most prominent modders have become integral parts of Croteam over the years.

As we shifted away from our proprietary engine to Unreal while developing The Talos Principle 2, we faced a challenging question: How do we continue empowering our talented community and allowing it to create incredible Talos experiences in the future? The answer was obvious: We only need a powerful built-in tool that removes all technical obstacles and allows our fans to focus on their creativity rather than learning how things work. How hard can it be, right?

In comes the Puzzle Editor. This powerful tool is available to everyone from the main menu and comes with full Workshop support. You can use it to create full episodes with any number of levels, puzzles, and mechanics. You can easily decorate your levels and switch seamlessly between ancient Roman, Egyptian, Medieval, and Alpine settings.

The demo Workshop is fully compatible with the one in the full game, so your efforts in this pre-launch period won't be lost. Create your puzzles and episodes now, then seamlessly transfer them to the main game once it launches on April 10.

The Elohim Challenge

Before you play, allow us to use this opportunity to announce a puzzle-jam community contest, which will start later this week once you’ve had a chance to familiarize yourself with the Puzzle Editor. Everyone will be invited to participate, and we’ll share all the details in a couple of days, so make sure to hang out here or on our Discord to hop right into it once it’s live.

Much love from Croteam!

And so the Talos Principle, a story we have worked on for more than a decade, must also come to an end.
