Staffers at German startup developer Bad Brain entertainment Ltd. laughed their way through a brief phone conversation today, confirming they would be posting news of their first major game assignment on Monday.
What exactly is that game? According to reports, Bad Brain has signed an agreement with LucasArts to take over development Sam & Max Freelance Police. When presented with the story the staffer did not confirm or deny the news, simply saying, "We will post news on our Web site Monday."
The sequel to the 1993 cult favorite Sam & Max Hit the Road, Freelance was being internally developed at LucasArts until last March, when it was unceremoniously canceled. Fans of the whimsical original cried foul, and created online petitions calling for work to resume on the sequel.
