Schell Games announced today that I Expect You To Die 2: The Spy and the Liar, the sequel to their award-winning VR puzzler, will launch this summer on SteamVR, Oculus Quest, Oculus Rift, and PlayStation®VR headsets. Schell Games also revealed that geek icon Wil Wheaton and award-winning songwriter Puddles Pity Party are lending their talents to the game, bringing the 1960’s spy-fi era to life like never before. A playable demo showcasing the tutorial, a new intro credits music experience, and part of the first mission will be available June 16 on Steam as part of Steam Next Fest. Supported headsets will be the Valve Index, Oculus Rift, Rift S, and Quest platform via Oculus Link, AirLink, and Virtual Desktop. More headsets will be supported for the full launch of the game.

After secretly surviving the end of the first game, I Expect You To Die 2 takes players on six, brand new missions across the globe to stop Zoraxis’ plans for world domination. In this sequel, players must put their creative thinking skills to the test as they plunge into the world of espionage and become an elite super spy. Each mission features ingenious puzzles, cunning villains, dangerous locales, and is connected by a cohesive story line, culminating in an explosive ending. The first mission? Protect the prime minister, who is attending a theater production featuring world famous actor and celebrity John Juniper.

Wil Wheaton steps into the shoes of celebrity extraordinaire John Juniper, who joins players on their quest to stop the Zoraxis organization’s nefarious plans. Taking inspiration from the first game, I Expect You To Die 2 features a title theme song performed by “the sad clown with a golden voice,” world-renowned singer and songwriter Puddles Pity Party.

“I Expect You To Die 2 builds upon everything our community loved about the first game, and we’re excited to take players on another adventure filled with espionage,” said Jesse Schell, CEO of Schell Games. “Wil and Puddles have been amazing to work with, and their enthusiasm has helped us expand the I Expect You To Die universe in compelling new ways. With Wil Wheaton bringing life to John Juniper, and Puddles’s dynamic performance of the new theme song, we’re confident players will feel immersed in this rich, story-driven evolution of the original game.”

I Expect You To Die 2 offers players a comfortable, seated VR experience from start-to-finish, requiring limited movement and minimizing motion sickness. With accessibility in mind, more people can enjoy the full I Expect You To Die 2 experience in VR without sacrificing gameplay.
