Costume Quest 2 Announced by Doublefine's Tim Schafer, Will Hit PC and Consoles Via Midnight City [VIDEO]

This incredible announcement trailer for Costume Quest 2 reveals what most every gamer already knows- Tim Schafer makes any video better. Midnight City unveiled the game today with Double Fine, alongside the revelation that they were also bringing Gone Home to consoles, showing how they're becoming one of the major players in the indie game publishing community. 

Costume Quest 2 will bring you back to the sleepy surburban town of Auburn Pines, where Wren and Reynold must once again protect Halloween from untold horrors, and grown-ups! As in the original turn-based combat is the name of the game. Equipping different costumes will change the kids into different super-powered beasts, in order to defeat the ghouls trying to destroy Halloween and get all the candy they deserve. You can expect another funny storyline and an upgraded battle system. 

"For the last couple of years," said Tim Schafer, Creative Director of Double Fine Productions in a statement, "Whenever Halloween came around, I felt like something was missing. No matter how many pumpkins I carved, apples I bobbed, or candy I ate, it just couldn't fill the big spooky hole inside of me. But then I realized what was missing: I needed more Costume Quest. And also, I really wanted a T-Shirt with glowing skulls on it." 

Midnight City was all hopped on candy too. "It's not every day that you're able to work with talent like Double Fine and The Fullbright Company," said Casey Lynch, VP of Publishing at Midnight City. "The opportunity to partner with one of the most beloved, well-established studios in the indie scene along with one of the most brilliant teams in development represents a sea change for games publishing. We're moving into a brand new middle that's taking shape in the widening gap between word of mouth indie and triple A." 

Check out the brilliant and nauseating trailer below, and expect Costume Quest 2 to hit via digital release later this year.
