Dreamfall Dreams Come True

If you are a The Longest Journey fan, like me, there is some good news coming our way. No, I don’t mean more half naked scenes of Zoe parading around in her underwear in front of her father. What I do mean is that Funcom, the lovely people who created the Longest Journey series, has announced that they shall be doing an episodic game, much like Sam and Max: Season 1, called the Dreamfall Chapters.

A few months ago, I wrote a post talking about an article that Adventure Gamers wrote alluding to the fact that several sources pointed at an episodic Dreamfall game. Now, according to this article at Adventure Gamers, your and my wishes have come true. The last chapter in the game isn’t going to be coming out in just one big game, but instead it shall be delivered to us in a bunch of smaller episodes that may or may not be release in a full retail version of the game for PCs and maybe some consoles after all the episodes have been completed.

Funcom hasn’t said much about what the game will be about, but whatever it is, I’m sure it’ll be awesome. There is also some talk of Funcom creating a The Longest Journey MMO, so you can go ahead and kill all the people you’ve always hated in the game. Not that you should kill anyone… It was just a suggestion.

The game is made possible by The Norwegian Film Fund. They’re hoping that with the funding that Funcom can “establish a core technology team which will research online-only delivery methods of episodic content, as well as lay the foundation for a later pre-production phase of Dreamfall Chapters.” Not bad… Those Norwegians are awesome. I wish I could be a viking!

No release date has been set for the episodic chapters of Dreamfall Chapters, but when there is, I shall be on it!
