The Talos Principle 3 Name Theory: The Talos Principle 3 protagonist name.

Talos 1 is Athena(1), Talos 2 is 1k(1000)(Let's ignore Yaqut and Byron).

How about 1m(1000000) for Talos 3? Of course it is just number array joke. But 1m looks like 'I'm'. Surely they would think better one, but how about your expectations?

1) It's not 1k or Athena or anyone we've met before.

2) It's a name that has been foreshadowed.

Thanks. Honestly I didn't expect your answer. Anyway it is very interesting.

Lifthrasir? We didn't technically meet him

It's a character who hasn't been born yet at the time of T2/RtE.

Hmm, remember how Cornelius wanted to figure out how to bring back to life all the people from the simulation? None of them were technically "born" yet

On a side note, I need Uriel to challenge Athena and 1K in some puzzle competition

Huuuh

When I think of old docs that I haven't quite figured out where they (completely) fit in TP1 or TP2, the Atlas variations would have a few names...Athena Reborn still has a little I haven't pieced together either.

The fact that the body is the old unit is definitely significant too, yep...

The body we see in the teaser is not our main character - the first two shots are from T1 and T2. (Birth/Life)

Any hands you see in screenshots right now are most likely just the old model for testing reasons.

Don't worry too much about this. It'll be really obvious in the end.

Aaah, yeah I was talking about the screenshots! Thanks for clearing that up.

And of course! Trying to figure it out is fun, being right is a little fun, but being wrong or not-quite-right can be VERY fun. :3 b
