We poured our hearts and souls into this project. It was designed with the community in mind, with tweaks and additions based on a decade of your feedback. We are forever thankful for all the support you've given us over the years, and we can't wait to hear your thoughts on this ultimate version of The Talos Principle.



For those of you who own the 2014. original or its 2023 sequel we've prepared several limited-time bundles that will discount the game between 15% and 40% depending on what you already own.

Hi everyone!
It's a glorious day today, as we are ready to announce that The Talos Principle: Reawakened is launching on April 10. To make the wait easier, the demo version of the game will be available from now until the full launch for your enjoyment.

This demo gives you a sweet taste of what awaits you in the whole game and allows you to get a glimpse of the world we have rebuilt. More importantly, this demo features the fully featured Puzzle Editor, allowing you to create complete episodes with any number of levels.

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.



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!

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 story of how The Talos Principle came to life—born from a simple gameplay idea, fueled by curiosity, and nurtured by a creative team willing to follow where inspiration led them.

Experience the full story with exclusive developer commentary, where the creators share insights, challenges, and inspirations behind The Talos Principle. All of this and more await you in The Talos Principle Reawakened. If you're as excited as we are, be sure to add it to your Steam wishlist to stay in the loop and catch the release date reveal very soon.

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 the success of The Talos Principle 2, we have some very cool projects going on, so why go back? There are many reasons, but the biggest one is simply that we love this game and while the original version is admittedly still pretty awesome, we wanted to create a definitive version that will keep the game fresh for years to come and allow a whole new audience to explore the Simulation.

Once again, we poured all our love and creativity into this project. We didn't just want to make a remaster with gorgeous graphics, although that's definitely part of it. But there's a lot more to this. There are quality-of-life improvements that make a real difference (seriously, the recorder puzzles are so much better now!). There's the puzzle editor. There's a whole new story to play! There are even developer commentaries.

Let's talk philosophy for a moment. We don't just think of games as products. These are the works that we will leave behind for future generations. The Talos Principle: Reawakened will both refresh and preserve this wonderful game that means so much to us.
