![Psychonauts Two? Teaser image hints at possible project [Updated: It doesn't] photo](http://www.destructoid.com/elephant//ul/50594-psychonauts.jpg)
It has been hailed as a modern cult classic and like those that came before it, many lamented its lack of sales and poor marketing. Hope for a new Psychonauts may have seemed dim, but it's been served a little more ignition today, thanks to developer Double Fine and its recently posted teaser image (above).
Right now, nobody exactly knows what's "coming soon," but it could be anything from a Wii port to an entirely new game. It could also be nothing at all, and gamers' heartstrings are being cruelly pulled. Whatever it portends, there's no denying that eager fans everywhere will soil their pants on command for new Psychonauts news.
What do you think Tim Schafer's playing at? Is an entirely new Psychonauts on the way? Is it heading to the Wii or DS? Get those overactive brains working and let us know your theories.
[Update: From Mr. Schafer himself: “Man, who knew how much excitement a little darkness could bring? The truth is we are just putting together a new page about 'The Excellent Game Psychonauts.' We're not announcing any new games or anything. Sorry if we confused anybody! We lightened up the image to hopefully make things clearer.”]

portend - [pawr-tend, pohr-] - verb - to indicate in advance; to foreshadow or presage, as an omen does: The street incident may portend a general uprising.
Who says you don't learn something everyday?

That illustration isn't DS-style at all; it's just part of the original Psychonauts box art with the brightness turned down. Use an image editing program to zoom in or brighten it up and this is more clear (unless you have a nicely-configured monitor, in which case it's clear anyway).
But I would kill for a next gen sequel.
Not to mention we just found out about Brutal Legend, which is still over a year away. How far off would a new Psychonauts game be?
Other than being a website placeholder, the only other thing mentioned that would be possible would be a Wii port. It wouldn't be done in-house by Double Fine though.
Look at that image. I know it's the same picture of Raz that's been around for years, but with the silhouette positioned just so, his fingers are clearly giving the symbol of a number two.
If a Psychonauts 2 comes out, then Destructoid had better start a campaign to get people to buy it.
Where the hell is Beyond Good & Evil 2?
In other words, something that pretty much anyone even thinking about writing about games should have been able to piece together immediately, and I'm genuinely amazed about how so many major gaming blogs have milked this one and gotten people excited about what is precisely fuck all (even a "Well, it's pretty damn unlikely considering it's the original box art..." would have been nice).
