Oh boy, do Microids need to sort this one out, pronto!

Maybe the title of the topic can be changed so ppl know its not a joke now.

Skeeter, given the fact that at least part of it is a joke and the other half has not been officially confirmed to us, I think the title is quite appropriate. I think Microids needs to release a proper press release with the details.

They are so slow...
It's been over 2 weeks since April Fool's Day, and still no corrections or updates.

How about someone email Microids and ask about the delay?

(Too shy/epic excitement is dancing on pins and needles)

Skeeter -- I did change the title to reflect that it may not be a joke. Under the circumstances, I'd like to see an official announcement, rather than get more "unofficial" news.

We now have a second confirmation!

Hi Daniel

I confirm the April 1st announcement was true, Microïds is working on Kate Walker’s adventures again. We will give more details next week, sorry I cannot give you more today before we disclose the next press release. But please be sure we are not playing with our #1 asset, our most treasured game!!

Best

Karla's reply was delayed, so maybe the further announcement is?! *Crosses fingers so hard....*

That's not new. Karla posted it back on April 8 and it still isn't a complete response. Microids still hasn't categorically stated which parts of the announcement were true and which parts were the "Fool's Day" parts. Is the game coming out on console as well as PC? XBox or Wii would be more likely than PS3, but who knows. Or maybe they're considering the DS. What about the part where you have to cooperate with other gamers online? Was that a "Fool's Day" part or not?

The part about cooperative play was definitely April Fools. It's an adventure game, and there's just no way it would happen.

Hm, I hope we get the updated info soon.

Never say never...

(not that I want it to be true, but given what happened in the progression from The Longest Journey to Dreamfall, nothing is out of bounds for some publishers!)

So, if I understand correctly, unless Sony agrees we do not get a PC version?

Hi Ana -- I just this minute moved the announcement to its own thread so I could sticky it. The official Microids announcement is here.
