Karl Marx and a Special Guest Come to Pro Philosopher in New Trailer!

You’ve been requesting him, and we are thrilled to finally deliver. It would be almost impossible to make a game about political philosophy without discussing Communism, and Karl Marx is here to passionately deliver his points!

This weekend the Beard Signal was ignited, and our dear community almost INSTANTLY guessed that it was him. Sorry, Marx, you’re just too iconic to go incognito.



But who else is joining the roster? Eagle eyed followers of our social media have been treated to her campaign ads, (and, more often, the attack ads levied against her,) and you might have met her in the secret ending of our Demo! Oops! I spoiled the surprise.

It's Pythia Smith, a prominent senator from New York and also Ariadne’s Mother! How did our protagonist’s mother get trapped in the realm of philosophers? Well, you’re just going to have to wait for the full game’s release to solve that mystery.

If you want to catch up on her campaign efforts, you can click the link below to head to our official TikTok!



They may be being introduced at the same time, but somehow, I doubt that they will agree on policy…



We also snuck a little surprise in there right at the end. Did you catch it? That's right! We have a release date! You'll be able to debate philosophers to your heart's content and unravel the mystery at the heart of Pro Philosopher 2: Governments and Grievances on October 8th! We know that feels like a long way away, but for a philosopher in the Intelligible Realm that's basically tomorrow.

We still have many more characters on our roster to reveal, both before and after launch, but for now, let's give the welcome to the father of communism and the mother of Ari! If you want to join the conversation, hop into our Discord or follow us on Twitter (X) and insta! Feel free to share your excitement using the hashtag #philosopherhype!
