We're only eight games away from finishing our mad quest of adapting every Shakespeare play into a video game. Well, more than eight actual plays, but like Rainbow Hollow, we've got some tomfoolery up our sleeves.
So, not only are we planning on a third and final game in the main Army of Tentacles trilogy next year, we're also planning two spin-offs in the Paper Shakespeare universe. Shakespeare and Lovecraft, together at last.
We have sort of an ongoing storyline through all our games, and so far, it's been most apparent in the Paper Shakespeare/Furry Shakespeare ones. There's some reality/multiverse jank that's been threading through the games, which was have been affectionately calling The Multiverse BS (no, we only started calling it that when Marvel started calling their current films The Multiverse Saga). So, the idea here is that Army of Tentacles 2 will end that storyline and the next two games will showcase the consequences of a new reality being born.

It's all led up to this. Kind of. Maybe.
Combining the quest and battle mechanics of prior Army of Tentacles games with the magnanimousness of a college dating sim.
Expect to see it before summer.

Army of Tentacles is over. Long live Army of Tentacles.
The first game, but reimagined as Shakespeare's Trojan War play. Perry, Riley, Webster, Thatcher, Apocalypse Bunny, and more are on a quest to push back the invading Greeks and save their home.
Our first fully-voiced game since 2016. Expect it sometime..... later.
The young king of Navarre has declared a three year excavation of Castle Dragongate, an ancient keep of unknown origin. He wishes to uncover its secrets, which have been fabled to link back to the beginning of time.
Something like that, at least. It sounds like an awesome spring break for you and the rest of the king's entourage. There's no possible way that you'll stumble on to a conflict that has been going on since the beginning of time. Hey! The young queen of France is here with HER entourage! That's going to lead to some sexy hijinks, right? I can already feel the existential dread of what may be lurking within those ancient ruins fading away!
An Adventure game with Dating Sim aspects, based on Shakespeare's 'Love's Labour's Lost'.
Engage in witty banter over five acts as you pick and choose which of your fellow compatriots to learn about and totally not flirt with.
Will your (totally not careless) actions doom or free the surrounding lands? Did we just spoil whether or not there IS a conflict that has been going on since the beginning of time? Not really. It was obvious.
A side-quel to Paper Shakespeare: Loves Labor(s) Lost.
