1C announces they will publish Renoir, the upcoming noir adventure game. They will be showing the game off next week at Gamescom and say to expect its release in November. This was announced and Kickstarted by Czech developer Soulbound Games, but 1C says this is in the works at Black Wing Foundation in Ukraine. The RENOIR website explains the change came after 1C acquired the IP. A new announcement trailer offers a look at the game's noir platforming in stark black and white. Here's a bit on the game, which sounds like it just missed out on being a big RIPD tie-in:

Now a ghost, Renoir possesses a unique ability that allows him to control phantoms around him and use them to solve environmental puzzles. Seeking justice from the shadows, he must tread carefully and avoid light at all costs. James’s ghostly form must backtrack over his last steps in the world of the living, recollecting his memories and searching for the clues that will lead him back to his murderer.
