Dreamfall: The Longest Journey to be launched spring 2006
Highly anticipated adventure game to be released for Xbox and Windows next spring
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 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.
