Kiln: From Clay Pots to Competitive Pottery Battlegrounds

Double Fine's Kiln began as a two‑week Amnesia Fortnight prototype and grew into a pottery‑powered multiplayer brawler. Real‑life pottery classes helped the team translate clay shaping, glazing, and tooling into a controller‑driven experience where pots are the stars. Players customize pots (shapes, glazes, handles, stickers), share creations in The Wedge, team up or duel in battles, and can opt to focus on pottery in the lobby. Kiln is headed for Spring 2026 on Xbox, PC, PlayStation, Steam, with Xbox Game Pass and a March 2026 closed beta.

Double Fine revealed Kiln, a pottery-based multiplayer party brawler where players sculpt pots that can be used in combat, but you can also enjoy a nonviolent pottery-sim mode; pot shapes influence combat with 24 moves, and it’s coming Spring 2026 on PC and Game Pass with beta signups open. The concept originated from a 2017 Amnesia Fortnight prototype and has been kept light and colorful, with no AI involvement.

Double Fine’s Kiln is a team-based multiplayer brawler where players handcraft clay battlers in a pottery studio, then fight on myth-inspired maps. Each battler comes from eight shapes within a weight class, offering 24 unique moves; water management links to health, and players customize pots with glazes and stickers. The Wedge hub (training dummies, display pots, and Slip’s shop) and the Potty practice feature support social play in a non-verbal, gesture-driven environment. Kiln features the Quench mode at launch, with maps inspired by ancient Greek/Egyptian gods, and arrives Spring 2026 on Xbox Series X|S, PC, PlayStation 5, Steam, and Game Pass Ultimate.

Tim Schafer Confirms: No Psychonauts 3 in the Works

Double Fine's Tim Schafer has confirmed that the studio is not currently working on Psychonauts 3, despite recent speculation. However, he hinted that an announcement about their current project may be made before the end of 2023. While there is high demand for a Psychonauts sequel, Double Fine seems to be taking a break from that world for now, unless a spin-off is in the works.
