ItΓÇÖs not Psychonauts 3, but Keeper already looks to be a visually stunning
and highly original gaming experience. Double Fine Productions and the
company's art director Lee Petty showed off the official announcement trailer
for its latest title during the Xbox Games Showcase at Summer Game Fest 2025.
It's not as hype as the news of Persona 4 Revival or The Outer Worlds 2, but
this quirky third-person adventure game looks like a fun departure from your
typical AAA title.

As seen in the trailer, Keeper puts you in control of a magically reassembled
lighthouse that's since grown legs and has a strange desire to venture
towards the central mountain peak of the island. There's no dialogue for this
game, but you won't be alone since an equally adventurous seabird joins you
on your mysterious mission. There's little revealed about the storyline, but
the trailer shows that the lighthouse's beam of light can interact with the
island's wildlife, while your trusty winged companion can take care of
anything out of your reach.

For diehard fans of the Psychonauts franchise, Keeper's vibrant and striking
visuals might be the only thing to scratch that itch for a while. Double Fine
Productions previously confirmed in June 2023 that it's not working on
Psychonauts 3, following hints at a potential reveal that summer. Double
Fine's Keeper will be available on Xbox Series X / S, Xbox PC, Xbox Cloud,
Xbox Game Pass and Steam on October 17.
