nimagraven: Myst.. Urgh. Not Myst! Am I the only one that doesn't like that game?!
Kakihara: No, you most certainly are not.
I'm not a huge fan of it either. I enjoyed it for the first hour or so, because it was pretty. After that I lost interest.
Myst is my guess though. I bet the correct guess was by Twitter, and Myst was mentioned as a Twitter guess above. And Ubisoft is already onboard as a publisher. So Myst may be the thing.
Another FMV sleuth game from the 90's is Seventh Guest. And it's way more FMV heavy than Myst. The rights to Seventh Guest are owned by Virgin AFAIK, who seems like a longshot.
EDIT: Also they did say "New Deal" not just "New Game". Maybe they struck a deal with Virgin.
EDIT: Wikipedia says that Virgin was acquired by French publisher Titus / Avalon.
