Dreamfall Chapters Book One release date announced

Not such a long journey now.

The first instalment of Dreamfall Chapters - Book One: Reborn - will be released 21st October on PC and Mac.

This is the first of five episodes; the second will apparently not be far behind.

Book One tells the tale of two people - Zoe Castillo and Kian Alvane - and takes place across three worlds. Kian's a warrior and must escape from prison topless, and Zoe's clothed and in a futuristic world. Mind you, in reality, she's in a coma.

Dreamfall Chapters came out of Kickstarter, and is helmed by Ragnar Tornquist, who led development on The Longest Journey 15 years ago. He's a tall man with curly hair.

What we've seen so far of Dreamfall Chapters shows sumptuous settings, an intriguing story and your choices that will shape it.
