Croteam has “Reawakened” The Talos Principle with Unreal Engine 5

The Talos Principle Reawakened is coming to PC and consoles in early 2025

Croteam has announced that they are remaking The Talos Principle using Unreal Engine 5, reimagining their beloved RPG with new story content, major visual upgrades, and a wealth of quality-of-life improvements. This remake is called The Talos Principle Reawakened.

This remake comes after the success of The Talos Principle 2, and will give today’s gamers a better way to experience the original. Fans of the series will also be able to enjoy the remake’s new Puzzle Editor and some added story content. There will also b developer commentaries, allowing gamers to hear what Croteam has to say about their creation.

Croteam sees this remake as a chance to “refresh and preserve” their game. Reawakened will become the definitive version of The Talos Principle and will keep the game “fresh” for years to come.

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.

With new content, enhanced gameplay, and a huge visual overhaul, The Talos Principle’s remake will be a graphical showcase when it launches next year. Gamers can expect enhanced lighting, textures, environmental design, and improved gameplay.

Croteam has already listed their new version of The Talos Principle on Steam. Below are the game’s PC system requirements. Note that these system requirements are largely identical to The Talos Principle 2.
