Pre-Ordering Available Starting March 18 for $29.99
LOS ANGELES — March 17, 2020 — Tomorrow, iam8bit and Limited Run Games' limited PlayStation 4 physical editions of Double Fine's Psychonauts will be available for pre-order for $29.99. Only 1,000 copies of the game will be produced, with iam8bit and Limited Run Games each selling 500 copies on their respective sites. Along with a physical copy of Psychonauts, fans who order the game will receive an all-new exclusive variant cover with art by Psychonauts art director, Scott Campbell.
This joint release from iam8bit and Limited Run Games was originally intended as a Game Developers Conference exclusive at the iam8bit store located in the lobby. However, with the postponement of GDC, plans for the limited edition release have pivoted, with an eye on helping indie developers. Ten percent of all proceeds from the sale of the Psychonauts PS4 limited edition will be given to WINGS, in support of the GDC Relief Charity initiative. WINGS is a new games label that finances games by diverse teams, starting with games made by women and gender minority developers.
Released in 2005, Psychonauts follows the adventures of Raz, a young 10-year-old boy with psychic abilities who runs away from his family’s circle to realize his dream of becoming a Psychonaut. In his quest, Raz must use his psychic abilities to rescue his kidnapped fellow campers and their stolen brains from an elite group of international psychic secret agents and their training facility, the Whispering Rock Psychic Summer Camp. The standalone VR chapter, Psychonauts in the Rhombus Ruin was released in 2017, and the sequel, Psychonauts 2, is forthcoming.
