The Talos Principle 3 is the third and final chapter in the Talos Principle puzzle series by developer Croteam and publisher Devolver Digital [1, 2]. The game will be released on PlayStation 5 and Windows PC [1].
The game is set in a mysterious place called the Anomaly, where the laws of physics no longer behave normally [1, 2]. Players awaken in the Anomaly, a contradictory world featuring crumbling temples, alien creatures, and abandoned scientific outposts [1, 2]. The player character has fragmented memories and must solve puzzles to recover them [1, 2].
The narrative continues from the previous games, exploring humanity's history and rebirth through the player’s experience. Lead writer Jonas Kyratzes said, "It's a historical moment seen through the eyes of a person. So it's the rebirth of humanity in the first game, and then it's this turning point in their history in the second one, but lived through the life of 1K and his friends" [2]. A narrator in the teaser states, "Every story has a beginning, a middle, and an end. Birth, life, death. But we are not stories" [2].
The Talos Principle 2's ending revealed the existence of the Anomaly billions of light years from Earth, which is the setting for the third game [2]. The new chapter will take players across more than 12 worlds [2].
No official release date for The Talos Principle 3 has been announced yet [1].
