    I love the games The Longest Journey and Dreamfall: The Longest Journey. Has anyone heard anything about a sequel? There were rumors of a sequel a few years ago but I haven't heard anything since, so I guess there is little hope, especially since there is no news on Funcom's website. They really left us hanging at the end of Dreamfall... :(

    They are claiming that a sequel will come after they finish their MMO.

    Which means never, probably. :p

    The director/writer for Dreamfall/TLJ has a blog here:
    http://ragnartornquist.com/

    Search it, and he's said some stuff about sequels etc. As I understand it, once he finishes working on the MMO, he wants to release a series of episodic games based around dreamfall, and do a proper sequel to TLJ after that.
    I'm also pretty sure he's said that if the story doesnt get completed through games, for whatever reason, he'll try and finish telling it through writing/comics/whatever.

    I love those two games. Cliffhanger ending aside, Dreamfall was a masterpiece of storytelling. I wish more games had gameplay that served the story, rather than the other way around.

    I'm getting the feeling that the MMO will die and the studio will be forced to make more mainstream projects.

    I hope that's not the case... I mean, Michel Ancel was able to get a Beyond Good and Evil sequel out of Ubisoft, but I just have a somewhat bad feeling about it.

    Never played TLJ but I did get my hands on Dreamfall and I enjoyed it so I hope the stars align and they do continue with the series.

    I seriously enjoyed both games, so I'd love to be able to play another one.

    Perhaps there's hope after all. Or maybe not. I guess we'll have to wait and see. :p

    Fantastic games, both of them.

    Especially TLJ, I will always remember. I hope we'll get another game set in that universe.
