The Games Company announces Simon the Sorcerer 5, the next installment in this point-and-click adventure series (thanks Gamer's Hell). The game is due this summer, and here's a bit from the announcement:

In its fifth Simon the Sorcerer Adventure TGC’s inhouse Development Studio Silver Style Entertainment, creators of the critically acclaimed predecessor provides its latest Simon Adventure with an innovative Cel-Shading technology, creating a unique, modern, comic-like look while providing gamers with a large diversity of ways to solve puzzles throughout the game. As the story unfolds, Simon is able to approach various situations on a nasty, brutal or even friendly way, which is then taken into a personality profile at the end of the game. In addition, multiple different ending sequences encourage the player to play through the game multiple times. Adventure-Beginners but also Adventure-Cracks will consider the integrated hint system helpful. By the click of a button, the game displays a list of Simon’s tasks, as well as their status and offers three levels of hints. All in all, the times in which you were desperately looking for the red fibre in the game, are now past thanks to „Simon the Sorcerer 5“.
