The Adventures of TinTin continue, with a new game

The Adventures of TinTin was a series of books that I remember reading in my school library and a few years ago, there was a big screen adaptation released, directed by Stephen Spielberg and of course, as was the trend at the time, a game was adapted, since then though, it has been silence on the beloved series by Herge.

Well it seems that is not the case any longer as game developers Microids and Moulinsart, who are the caretakers of the beloved series have announced a new game is coming, with Tintin and his dear Snowy coming soon to both PC and consoles.

This new action-adventure game will transport the player into a whirlwind of incredible situations and suspense hand in hand with the legendary Tintin and Snowy characters. Other iconic characters will join the cast like the renowned captain Haddock, fond of fine whiskey and sophisticated slurs, the genius professor Calculus and the finest detectives Thomson & Thompson.

Microids is proud to collaborate with Moulisart on this project as Stéphane Longeard, CEO of Microids comments further: « We are extremely happy to work on this co-production! We have been willing to make this happen for quite some time. This announcement is the result of a creative process allowing us to define precisely how this project will take shape and the two companies will interact. This really is a dream come true for us. The adventures of Tintin transported millions of readers worldwide and this opportunity will allow us to put our talents at the service of one of the biggest creators of the 20th century and its inked hero: Our team members are fans of the famous reporter and will do their best to pay this franchise a vibrant homage. We can’t wait to kick-off this project!”

Nick Rodwell, Moulinsart’s director is also sharing his thoughts: « The upcoming PC and consoles video game inserts itself pretty well in the legacy of the most famous reporter’s adventures. Our ambition is to provide a mainstream audience with a fun and friendly game for everyone to enjoy. Microids is for us the ideal partner to bring to life this new Tintin’s adventure »

Sadly, that is all the details we have now, but hopefully we get something more soon.
