Microids has announced that Little Big Adventure – Twinsen’s Quest, a reimagining of the 1994 action-adventure game Little Big Adventure, will be coming to all major platforms this autumn. Microids’ release of Little Big Adventure — Twinsen’s Quest will benefit from several upgrades courtesy of the 21st century, while still encapsulating the same ambiance as the original. Little Big Adventure was conceived by developer Frederick Raynal’s team at Adeline Software International, while Raynal himself is Infogrames’ former designer/lead programmer.
An emerging studio by the name of 2.21 can be credited for the development of Little Big Adventure – Twinsen’s Quest, while publishing rights go to Microids, a French company currently working on a new Totally Spies adventure game. Adeline Software International was founded in 1993 as a subsidiary of Delphine Software International, consisting of mostly Infogrames alumni. Adeline is responsible for both Little Big Adventure and Little Big Adventure 2, but after the definitive liquidation of Delphine in 2004, Adeline declared bankruptcy and the company is now defunct.
