Durham,
USA – August 26, 2005 –
Funcom announces that ‘Dreamfall: The Longest Journey’ has been
rescheduled to launch in the spring of 2006. The highly anticipated
adventure title was initially slated for a Q4 2005 release. Now Funcom
has decided to allow for additional months of development. This ensures
the highest possible quality while making sure the game reaches the
market in a more favourable timeslot. The game will be released
simultaneously on Xbox and Windows.
Since
Funcom announced ‘Dreamfall’, the game has topped the wish lists of
adventure gamers worldwide, as well as winning “Best Adventure Game of
E3” awards from Gamespot.com, Gamespy.com and IGN.com. As a follow-up
to ‘The Longest Journey’, one of the best adventure games of all
times according to the critics, ‘Dreamfall’ takes the genre in a new
and bold direction. Direct action, an interactive 3D world, stealth
elements, combat and numerous action adventure mechanics are only a few
of the many features in
‘Dreamfall’,
yet with the classic adventure game at heart. The game features a mature
and action-filled storyline, where breathtaking music, stunning graphics
and fascinating characters take you on an epic journey of exploration
and adventure as you have never experienced before.
“Quality
is what our company is all about and is always the core focus while we
develop games,” said Trond Arne Aas, CEO of Funcom. “We believe that
the new release window for ‘Dreamfall’ will allow us to deliver a
game for the ages as opposed to a contemporary classic. At the
Advertisement
same
time we see that the market potential for ‘Dreamfall’ is greater
after the busy holiday period. The new release window will mean that the
title receives the attention it deserves."
