The season ahead

Hi folks,

Wishing you the very best for the coming week from everyone at Rusty Towers!

Today let’s start with the announcement we know many of you have been waiting for: The Magnus Protocol will be returning for its second season on Thursday 27th February 2025. Our early access supporters here on Patreon and on Kickstarter will, as always, be receiving the double-length episode 48-hours early on Tuesday 25th February.

As those of you who have watched the Digital Season 2 Premiere (which Rusty Knights and Nobles can watch at this link: https://www.patreon.com/posts/magnus-protocol-114791859  ) will know, season 2 picks up from where the last one – and the epilogue – left off and we find ourselves in a familiar yet unfamiliar world. The OIAR has undergone something of a restructure, and everyone must, against all odds, adjust to their new normal.

Episodes will be releasing weekly, once again separated with short breaks into three acts. After the success of our Patreon Live Listen Drops last year, we’re currently planning even more for season 2 – watch this space for news on when they will be taking place!

Meanwhile, to wrap-up our post-season one bonus content, this week on the Magnus feed we’ll be sharing the Protocol Season One Q&A! Join Alex and Jonny as they answer questions submitted by you – find out why Alex hates Needles, how creating Protocol felt different to Archives and how the ending of The Magnus Archives left the door open for The Magnus Protocol.

As always, this will be available at 4pm GMT on Tuesday for Knights and Nobles, and on Thursday at the same time on the public feed.

A huge thank you once again to everyone who joined us for the third Fancast livestream last week! Lowri, Anusia and Shahan listened to some fan-chosen episodes of Protocol, and answered questions from chat – as well as getting side tracked talking about Baldur’s Gate 3 and Blood on the Clocktower! Nobles, if you missed the stream, you can catch up at the following link: https://www.patreon.com/posts/livestream-link-120403364 .

Our next Fancast is on 5th February 2025, at 6pm GMT with Lowri, Ryan Hopevere-Anderson (voice of Colin) and Anusia Battersby (voice of Gwen) – we’ll be sharing more details, including the link to join the stream, closer to the time. We can’t wait to see you there!

Have a good week all!
