Overture sequel to arrive in '08

Creepy people near archways will wait to kill you in '08
The adventure genre is about to get scarier, with the announcement that a sequel to Penumbra: Overture is in the works.

The follow-up to the slow-burning psychological thriller is to be titled Penumbra: Black Plague, and will officially be the final chapter of the Penumbra games. Although it was to be a trilogy, Paradox Interactive is keeping tight-lipped about whether a game will be released to bridge the gaps between Overture and Black Plague.

"Penumbra: Overture has been referred to as the scariest adventure game to appear in years, and with Penumbra: Black Plague, the developers have managed to push the boundaries of psychological horror even further, said Fredrik Wester, Executive Vice President of Paradox Interactive. "Their unique and innovative approach to gaming adventures made Penumbra a fan and media favorite and we are convinced that Penumbra: Black Plague will have an even bigger impact on the gaming community".

"Penumbra: Black Plague is horrific, life-like, interactive and unique and we are thrilled to be working with Paradox Interactive to introduce this game to a worldwide audience, said Jens Nilsson, Co-Founder Frictional Games". "We've worked with Paradox in the past and their support for our vision and ideas has made it possible for us to keep on developing games that we believe in."
