Red Thread's promising adventure game Dreamfall Chapters will finally make its mark on the PlayStation 4 from 24th March. The game, which launched as an episodic outing on PC, will be available as a single package featuring all five episodes on Sony's new-gen system, and will come with various visual improvements compared to its computer-based counterpart.
The game – which was originally Kickstarted – is set across two parallel universes: Stark (a cyberpunk version of Earth) and Arcadia (a fantasy realm). The console package will be published by Deep Silver both at retail and on the PlayStation Store, and will ship with some additional content that's yet to be disclosed.

I recall Dreamfall on the original Xbox. I never played it, but I wanted to out of curiosity. I'll probably check this out too.
I played the original the longest journey on PC but never got around to playing Dreamfall, will be playing this one but don't know if I'll be lost without having played the second one
Awsome cant wait.
Looks interesting. I'll definitely keep an eye out for it
Always been interested in these games. the first ones are not that easily playable now. Are they any good? Was this any good?
Sound like its for me... hmmm
Would love it if they ported The Longest Journey over but that's very unlikely.
I've heard great things but still not really clear on what the game is. I've gathered it's a trilogy, and this third entry had episodes. But I thought it was a visual novel?
Eh not so sure.
I actually kickstarted this. I received my Kickstarter copy way back when but unfortunately still haven't played it. Now they're saying there'll be a free upgrade to the "definitive edition" which is the version consoles will be getting so I'm just gonna wait for that and finally play it.
@JaxonH They're the same genre as Broken Sword or Monkey Island. However, they're far, far more story-driven and you spend most of the time in dialogue, learning about the world and characters, so that's where your idea of it being a VN comes from, I'd say.
Basically, imagine Broken Sword but instead of it being a constant series of puzzles, it's mainly exploration and dialogue with the occasional puzzle. The 2nd one tried to slightly branch out into other genres IIRC and has some pretty bad stealth and combat parts; not sure, my memory is quite foggy. In any case, they're all very atmospheric, story-driven games about alternate dimensions - ever so vaguely like Narnia or Peter Pan, that kind of thing.
