LucasArts announces Sam & Max 2
LucasArts has just issued a press release announcing a new Sam & Max game. The game will be directed by Michael Stemmle, who was also involved in the original game. "Sam & Max Hit the Road is a classic and as close to being a signature game as any LucasArts has ever done," states president Simon Jeffery in the announcement. "The Sam & Max sequel, much like the recently announced Full Throttle II, perfectly complements LucasArts' renowned adventure game legacy and lends further support to the company's commitment to investing in and developing more of our original properties."
"The follow up to the critically acclaimed 1993 adventure classic Sam & Max Hit the Road will dispatch the Freelance Police into a wild world of screwy and vaguely quixotic missions. Each one will be jam packed with nerve-jangling action, brain-busting puzzles, and the kind of easygoing banter one might expect from a talking dog and a naked, hyperkinetic bunny."
The entire press release can be found here. A different & Max action/adventure project was being developed at Infinite Machine but was cancelled after the studio's bankrupcy a few months ago. This Sam & Max game is being developed in-house at LucasArts and has no connection with Infinite Machine's project.
