Once again very proud that this comic is also Belgian and having success, like Tintin.
The comic series has actually ended with album 19 or so, and now has several 1 album spin-offs about a certain character from the series.
The 2003 game was quite allright, too, it was based on the first 13 albums.
Perhaps the story continues following the plot and ending of the comic.
Looking forward to this!

Edit
Apparently it doesn’t look like it’s going to be a first person shooter:

Could be ok but not so excited anymore… :frowning:

Awesome.
But why would they call it 14? Makes more sense to call it XIII: 2, or XIII: input fancy title here. I guess we would still be playing as XIII?

XIII: 2 would legal hell from Square Enix.

#44

Yes, no idea why I though XIX, my bad.

#45

Right, Cygnus. It’s going to be a adventure.

Yep, just like I predicted.

Maybe they’re trying to build up interest in the series, so that at the end of this game they can be all “NEW FPS RELEASED NEXT WEEK” or something like that.

That’s just a load of bullocks.

Changing the genre up like that just disappoints fans of the original. Alienating them is always a bad thing.
