In a press release, Stéphane Longeard, CEO of Microids notes that the studio has been “willing to make this happen for quite some time […] Our team members are fans of the famous reporter and will do their best to pay this franchise a vibrant homage,” the quote reads.

Microids previously worked on licenses such as Asterix & Obelix, Blacksad and Garfield, and are known for creating the Syberia series of adventure games.
Many moons ago in 2011, The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn launched on consoles as a tie-in to the film of the same name from Steven Spielberg. Check out our review of the game, which we thought was “hard to recommend to anyone other than diehard fans.”
