For those of you who have played many adventure games, you would (nay, should) recognise the name Jane Jensen.  If not her, then you will definitely recognise the Gabriel Knight franchise.  The last Gabriel Knight game was released in 1999. It was fantastic. Since then though, no Jane Jensen penned games have been released.  Enter 2003 when Gray Matter was dangled in front of the adventure game crowd, only to be swiftly removed until 2006 when another publisher taunted us with it’s impending release.  Once again, it disappeared back into the 9th circle of development hell until it appeared again in early 2008, with a new developer, Wizarbox.  Since then, several development screen shots and teaser trailers have been released and it seems like that Gray Matter will be getting a release and in the near future! According to the official website a release date, on both Xbox360 and PC, is the 29th of October this year.

They do have an official blog which is very seldom updated but has some good progress pictures and information.  From the posts and the information on the main website, Gray Matter is looking likely to be a great game.  Worthy enough of being the successor to Gabriel Knight? We’ll just have to wait and see, but until then enjoy some development pictures.
