Polygon did a hands-on. Game is coming out this Halloween.

I'd take some quotes but the whole article is so full of details about the game and I don't want copy too much. One big part to Double Fine seems to be refining the battle system.

Hawaii Jeff · Jun 2, 2014

awesome! thanks for posting this!

i'm so glad (and surprised) they're actually making a sequel.

SolsticeZero · Jun 2, 2014

Awwwwwwww yissssssss

I loved Costume Quest so much.

OH MY GOD! A GIANT PIECE OF CANDY CORN IS A COSTUME! DAY FUCKING ONE!

Lunzio · Jun 2, 2014

My heart with go on...

to play this game.

Ruruja · Jun 2, 2014

I really need to get around to finishing the first one. It's a really charming game. Hopefully this will be just as good.

punkmaggit · Jun 2, 2014

Day zero.

atr0cious · Jun 2, 2014

Probably my favorite Double Fine production of last generation. Too bad it was so short, it was unbelievably charming.

VanWinkle · Jun 2, 2014

Oh wow, nice!

Mpl90 · Jun 2, 2014

...WII UUUU?!?!?

Wynnebeck · Jun 2, 2014

lol The candy corn costume was cute.

EBE · Jun 2, 2014

PLEASE have the combat be less repetitive. and maybe have some voice acting? im not too sure about that one though. might work. might not.

will keep my eye on this. i really liked costume quest.

ElzarTheBam · Jun 2, 2014

Oh my

ILoveBish · Jun 2, 2014

Excited. Loved cq1 and the dlc.

Cess007 · Jun 2, 2014

YES!! I loved so much the original and the DLC! Day 1 for me!

New002 · Jun 2, 2014

Excellent.

shandy706 · Jun 2, 2014

Who needs E3?!

Today has been awesome!

Can't wait for this either.

Zekra Dezivad · Jun 2, 2014

Mortal Kombat? Forza Horizon? Homefront?

The greatest announcement of the day is Costume Quest 2! Period.

reminder · Jun 2, 2014

Loved the first one, loved the DLC, will love the sequel. Best game ever for Halloween.

Exile20 · Jun 2, 2014

The Wii U gamepad can do wonders for this game.

Eusis · Jun 2, 2014

Ohhh, need to beat the first sometime. Didn't realize for a long time you could use payphones to save in it.

SloaneRisette · Jun 2, 2014

Love Double Fine and loved Costume Quest, will probably get this day one!

Freedom = $1.05 · Jun 2, 2014

I really love that it's not topdown anymore. It looks much more like an adventure game and that makes me want it a billionjilliontillion more.

Andrefpvs · Jun 2, 2014

Never completed the first one, despite trying two times.

First time, got the save corruption glitch.

Second time, got the French Fries glitch, which was never patched.

Needless to say, I have very sour memories of this franchise. I don't think I'll be getting this one.

Yep!

Still need to go back and finish the first one actually.

DayZero on PS4. Hoping for 1080p/60fps with actual voice acting.

mreddie · Jun 2, 2014

Oh my, the Candy Corn costume achievement...

Discotheque · Jun 2, 2014

This will be must play during halloween season

Pyccko · Jun 2, 2014

I mean, I'm obviously gonna snatch this up, but it's still kinda weirding me out that they made this even though Tasha's not involved at all. Well, they seem to have kept her style intact, at least.

Cautiously optimistic.

Zach · Jun 2, 2014

Wow! Did NOT expect this! But I welcome it. My son and I really enjoyed playing through the first one (as well as the DLC). I look forward to playing this with him on Halloween!

Jeremy · Jun 2, 2014

I loved this game so much. I am so glad they're making a sequel! Hopefully they'll improve on the very few things that weren't all there.

Zonic · Jun 2, 2014

"Hard-corn Mode"

Hahahaha, alright, that's pretty good. I'm half tempted to try & beat the game in that "mode".

FullMetaltech · Jun 2, 2014

Nice. Had a blast with the first game when it came out.

Baron von Loathsome · Jun 2, 2014

Good to see. I'll pick it up on Steam.

But yeah, that Candy Corn costume sounds hilarious.

Blues1990 · Jun 2, 2014

Now I'm curious to see what the Clown Costume transforms the kid into. If anything is in consideration, that character will probably transform into a killer, psychotic clown.

Weetrick · Jun 2, 2014

Loved the first game. I'm hoping they can retain the suburban nostalgia that made it so great. Day one either way.

sabertoothzombie · Jun 2, 2014

I never finished the first one, but this makes me more interested in trying it again.

mejin · Jun 2, 2014

That's great news.

Zach · Jun 2, 2014

"It's probably our most requested sequel, besides Psychonauts..."

So, uhhh, what are you going to do about that, Double Fine, hmmm?

Sgt.Pepper · Jun 2, 2014

I hope it is not as easy as the first one.

Maybe add a hard mode DF!

Meh, I'm just hoping it'll have at least off TV play. The Cave didn't get it for whatever reason and they didn't even bother to patch it in.

E3...hopefully...

ThatStupidLion · Jun 2, 2014

not bad.

I can see the reviews already though

...

"more of the same - which is ok"
"played it safe."
"new coat of paint, same decent gameplay"
"feels just refined rather than expanded"
"feels more like CQ 1.5 than a full blown sequel"

etc. etc.

can't wait though!

Shiggy · Jun 2, 2014

Wonder how they can spice it up. Costume Quest 1 was pretty repetitive and I only played through it as it was pretty short (I mean it had the right length).

Elor_Nocudee · Jun 2, 2014

Oh boy i'm excited for this, first game was an adorable fun time.

Hero of Legend · Jun 2, 2014

WOW, did not expect Wii U!

Wasn't this by Tim himself? Unlike The Cave?

Zach said:

Not up to them, Majesco owns the IP.

chrominance · Jun 2, 2014

HARD-CORN MODE.

DAY ONE.

I imagine Tim is pretty busy with Broken Age part 2. The director of The Cave (Ron Gilbert) no longer works at Double Fine.

EdReedFan20 · Jun 2, 2014

I hope this continues from the cliffhanger ending from the Grubbins on Ice DLC. If I recall, a portal or something opens up.

Labadal · Jun 2, 2014

The first one was charming, I'll probably buy Costume Quest 2. more of everything, it seems. A good change in the way you execute attacks in combat. Sounds more like Paper Mario.

Willy Wanka · Jun 2, 2014

Awesome. I loved the first game so this is a nice surprise.
