And what a twist, it will be produced by Sega!
Sega is (not only my fav but also) one of those producers that has always been for more original IPs than just recycling sequels all the time.
(well, besides the usual annual Sonic game)
These last couple years, Sega West's been pretty much open about a rich and varied digital lineup.
They just announced a partnership with Double Fine Productions (Tim Shaffer's company, responsible for the likes of Psychonauts and Brutal Legends).
Their latest project? A strange platformer-adventure game from Ron Gilbert (creator of Monkey Island)!
This new IP will be called The Cave - no relation to the indie title Cave Story! - it has been announced for early-2013 for console systems and PC in download only.
Check out the Official Website.
The game seems to be a pretty fun looking sidescroller.
Ron promised various surprises and interesting bits.
It's about a fantastic underground cave you will explore from a team made from 3 characters you'll select (Maniac Mansion-style). The story is about an amusement park and an hidden basement to explore, with castles and whatnot underground.
It's a concept that has been on Ron Gilbert's mind for quite a while actually.
It will be Ron's first real project since he joined Double Fine recently, and the studio's first collaboration with Sega.
Ron's been quite happy with the teamwork with Sega, they still believe in original titles and adventure nowadays!
Check out this first trailer~
