Psychonauts in the Rhombus of Ruin launches February 21

Psychonauts in the Rhombus of Ruin will launch for PlayStation VR on February 21, Double Fine Productions announced.

A standalone chapter of the Psychonauts saga, Psychonauts in the Rhombus of Ruin is a “mind-bending adventure puzzle game” built from the ground up for virtual reality that chronicles the events between Psychonauts and the upcoming Psychonauts 2.

Players will take on the role of Raz, a young psychic and now fully fledged member of the Psychonauts elite group of international psychic secret agents. You’ll see through Raz’s eyes in first-person and use his various psychic powers to solve puzzles. “Clarivoyance” will allow you to see through the eyes of others and explore the environment, while other abilities like “telekinesis” and “pyrokinesis” allow you to move things around with your mind or set them on fire.

The story of Psychonauts in the Rhombus of Ruin picks up at the end of Psychonauts, with Raz, Lili, Sasha, Milla, and Coach Oleander flying off to rescue Truman Zannotto, the Grand Head of the Psychonauts. Their mission takes them into the heart of the Rhombus of Ruin, a mysterious part of the ocean said to be “as deadly as two Bermuda Triangles back to back.” But when the rescue party itself is kidnapped and held prisoner in Rhombus, and Raz is immobilized, he must use his psychic powers to reunite his friends, reveal the identity of the kidnapper, and free Truman.
