The upcoming PC and consoles video game inserts itself pretty well in the legacy of the most famous reporter’s adventures,” Nick Rodwell, Moulinsart’s director, said in a statement. “Our ambition is to provide a mainstream audience with a fun and friendly game for everyone to enjoy.

The series of video games based on the Adventures of Tintin comics go as far back as 1989 with the release of side scroller Tintin on the Moon, followed by 1995’s Tintin in Tibet and 1996’s Prisoners of the Sun, and was last adapted into a game with 2011’s The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn, developed as a tie-in to the Steven Spielberg film of the same year.
