One of the biggest surprises from Gamescom Opening Night Live is this unexpected announcement: Sam & Max are back. The Freelance Police are making their grand return next year, when they'll star in a brand new VR game named Sam & Max: This Time It's Virtual.
Check out the above trailer to get an idea of what to expect. Sam & Max was originally a series of comics before being converted into an adventure game icon, and now the pair want to work with you to solve a virtual reality mystery. It looks like great fun, and you'll of course be able to interact with the dog and bunny duo.
Will it be released on PlayStation VR? We asked developer HappyGiant, but it's remaining tight-lipped for now. No platforms have been confirmed as of yet, but we're assured that more news is on the way very soon. Fingers crossed.
Are you down for some virtual reality crime fighting with Sam & Max? Let us know in the comments section below.

Love Sam & Max. Would totally play a new VR adventure!
A shame for me that it’s VR as I’d have preferred a traditional game but I think this makes sense. Just really excited that they’re back.
Would've preferred a traditional version too-telltale ones were okay but the Lucasarts original was the best one. VR & first person stuff makes me a tad bleugh.
Still, hopefully it does okay. Fear its an exclusive elsewhere if they haven't confirmed it VR status being multiformat. We're a ways off PSVR 2 'til they get PS5 launch & momentum up before they worry about next gen PSVR tech.
I thought I remembered playing this on the original playstation, but searching for it I can't find anything. It was an isometric-ish inner city cartoony game that I could've sworn had these two characters in.
The excitement when I realised it was Sam & Max and then the moment I realised it was VR only. Break my heart why don't you
VR is a new plague that is spreading and killing great games... VR should be ONLY OPTIONAL!!! not required.
This was the best reveal out of the event imo. Love Sam & Max and I guess I'm one of the few who is really excited about the VR part. Being inside their world sounds like a blast!
Love Sam & Max! Love VR! Love this!
Totally get the point from those not into VR about wanting a normal version too but this is a fantastic announcement as far as I’m concerned - if it comes to PSVR of course......Please......Pretty Please.....
Yoooo I loved Sam & Max!
Really hope it does . I love VR totally and I love Sam and max it’s perfect
