Last year, Telltale Games, made up in part of former LucasArts adventure game team members, released its five part revival of the classic Monkey Island series. Oddly enough another developer made up of former LucasArts team members, Autumn Moon Entertainment, released its own adventure game in 2009, Ghost Pirates of Voojo Island.

So why haven't you heard about this game? Because it was released in Germany, where the PC adventure game industry is still pretty strong. It was also released in the UK in February 2010. However the GameStop web site has posted up word that ValuSoft has plans to release the game to retail stores in the US on August 30.

The game itself has three main characters out to stop a demon god from coming back to life. The kicker is that not only do each of the main characters have their own special skills, they can also turn into ghosts which allows them to wall through walls, among other things, in the game. We plan to contact Autumn Moon to get more info on the title's US release.

After a few years of development, Autumn Moon Entertainment finally released their PC adventure game A Vampyre Story last fall. Apparently the game was successful enough that the developer has decided to announce a sequel with the appropriate title A Vampyre Story 2.

Autumn Moon has already launched a teaser web site for the game which presents some early screenshots and info for the title. As before the game stars opera singer turned vampire Mona de Laffite. In the sequel de Laffite is being held by Dr. Riga Mortus. You have to free her by controlling her pet bat Froderick through a series of point-and-click adventures. As with the first game the sequel will have development input from a number of former LucasArts adventure game creators. No release date has been announced.
