Double Fine, the studio behind Psychonauts, is set to reveal its future plans in a livestream on the Kinda Funny Games YouTube channel. The announcement comes shortly after the developer regained independence from Microsoft, making the studio's next steps particularly significant for fans following its uncertain recent history.

The move follows a difficult period for Double Fine, which cut 23 jobs at the end of July as part of its transition to becoming a smaller, sustainable independent company. Studio founder Tim Schafer described the layoffs as a painful but necessary step to secure the team's survival. While concrete game announcements seem unlikely, the studio, known for titles including Psychonauts, Brutal Legend, Broken Age, Costume Quest and Stacking, is expected to outline its direction as an independent developer.
