Funcom has announced its first console release since 2006's Dreamfall: The Longest Journey - The Park - launches on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on May 3rd.
"We are thrilled to develop games for consoles again," said Funcom CEO Rui Casais. "Not only because The Park is a great fit for console gaming, but the process has also given us a lot of experience which we can use for some of our upcoming games, like Conan Exiles."
Here is some information on the game from Funcom:
In The Park players step into the shoes of Lorraine, a mother whose son goes missing at the Atlantic Island Park. Here players must explore the dilapidated amusement park and face panic and paranoia as they progress unravel Lorraine's story and the history of the park itself. Focusing entirely on intense storytelling and exploration instead of combat and action, The Park draws inspiration from other first-person exploration games such as Gone Home, Dear Esther and The Vanishing of Ethan Carter.
The Park released last Halloween on Windows PC.
