Updated description and corrected the informations about The Longest Journey Home


''Dreamfall Chapters'' is the upcoming sequel to the 2006 ActionAdventure game ''VideoGame/DreamfallTheLongestJourney''. Although announced back in 2007, it only [[http://www.funcom.com/news/pre_production_begins_on_new_game_in_the_longest_journey_saga entered pre-production in 2012]], since most of its key personnel (including the original creator, Ragnar Tørnquist) had their hands full with ''VideoGame/TheSecretWorld''. The game has been [[http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/redthread/dreamfall-chapters-the-longest-journey funded via Kickstarter]], raising over $1.5 million from almost 22,000 pledges. Had it reached $2M, the devs' next project immediately after it would have been ''The Longest Journey Home'' (essentially, ''The Longest Journey 2'' with April in the lead role), but now we have to wait and see what becomes of it.
