Much like its predecessor, The Talos Principle 2 is set to combine mind-bending puzzles with a deep, philosophical narrative about the nature of life and civilization – taking place in a future where humanity is extinct, yet their culture is preserved in a city ruled by robots, the game will have you discover, and potentially answer, countless tough questions about the past, the future and the cosmos itself.
In this brand-new chapter taking place after the events of the original game, players will take on the role of a retired war hero called Auria, who will soon find herself having to save the world from the apocalypse while also trying to protect her son.
According to the story, LunarLux takes place in the distant yet unspecified future of 30XX, in a world where humanity was forced to survive on the moon after the game’s version of Earth – Terra – was devastated by a global catastrophe.
In it, players take on the role of a warrior summoned to a ruined world by the Twelve Gods of Therad, and must fight against the slaves of Chaos and prevent a powerful Demon Lord from coming back to life.
