  I'm really, really excited to be sharing some awesome Dreamfall-related news with you today. I've been sworn to secrecy by our PR department for several months now, but I've finally been given the go-ahead to make a couple of really cool announcements, so here goes:

First off, in addition to the PC and Xbox versions of the game, our recently established production office in Beijing has just begun development on a Nintendo DS version! Due for release (hopefully, fingers crossed, etc.) before Christmas, the portable version will be a classic 2D adventure game utilising the DS's dual screens to their full effect. The touch-screen will display the location and the characters in an isometric view, while the top screen will be used for dialogue, cinematics, maps, quest journal, and other pertinent information. The game will feature a unique and revolutionary 'point-and-tap' control system, our patented focus field feature, and even a voice recognition interface. The DS is the perfect fit for a classic adventure, and purists should definitely check this one out.

Secondly - and this is a biggie - Dreamfall is headed to the silver screen! German auteur Uwe Boll, the mastermind behind such classics as House of the Dead and Alone in the Dark, will write and direct the adaptation, which (for budgetary reasons) will be set in modern-day Berlin, and shot in Romania. It's still early, and the script is being written as we speak, but Dr. Boll is courting Michelle Rodriguez for the role of Zoë Castillo, while April Ryan might be played by none other than Milla Jovovich! The second I know more, I'll post it here, so keep checking back.

The official announcements will be made on Monday, but I just wanted to give y'all a heads up, just 'cause. Keep it real, people, and check back tomorrow for more breaking news!

Very nice, Ragnar! :P
 
I can't say that the Resident Evil casting is terribly promising, but thanks for the info anyway!
 
I'm happy about the dreamfall development, but seriously I think this must be some kind of april fools joke speaking of uwe boll ;) he has directed one of the most crappy game adaptations in history, e.g. alone in the dark. I really hope it is a joke, and if it's not, I'll suggest to reconsider the "director" ;)

Lol. Why doubt it's a joke? It's damn obvious :P.
 
I mean, Michelle Rodriguez as Zoe?! Haha :D
 
Yeah I thought it would be :)
 
I hope Ragnar and Co. make tons of money from all this diversification.

All I care about is the PC game.
 
"the mastermind behind such classics as House of the Dead and Alone in the Dark"

That is perhaps the best April Fool's joke I've seen all day. Congrats!
 
april fools!
 
You damn near gave me a heart attack. =P Nobody'd gotten me until I read your post.

Bad Ragnar!

I've been nailed by a few websites for April Fools. The problem, I think, is the time difference. It was the morning of April 2nd here when I read this and I didn't really register it was a joke until the ":P" of the first comment.
 
If that hadn't been a joke, I would kill you. Don't ever mention the name of He Whose Name Must Never Be Mentioned again.
 
he he really good lah Ragnar..
Happy april fool's day
 
Uwe Boll? You're a cruel, cruel man, Ragnar. ;-)

April Fools!
