Backend improvements.

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.

• Added client support for system updates
  
• Added performance telemetry information for tracking FPS and frame hitches to support continued performance improvement efforts

This patch requires rolling server restarts to get the servers up to version. We have also started a count-down notification in game for the server shutdown. We expect the server downtime to be very short, as it’s just a restart for the update.

Fellow adventure game lovers, this one’s for you!
