A Double Fine deal with Sierra

Double Fine have found a new publisher in Sierra, who will release an original IP from Schafer et al. No Psychonauts sequel (drat!), but Schafer has a long history of original creations and inventive characters (Full Throttle, Grim Fandango) and we can't wait to see how crazy his next brainchild will be.

Sierra, in name, has a history with the adventure genre (King's Quest, Gabriel Knight, Leisure Suit Larry) but is now a shadow of its former self. The final remnants of Sierra was laid off in June of 2004 and now serves as a publisher for developers such as Radical Entertainment and High Moon Studios. Whether or not Sierra will treat Double Fine well has yet to be seen, but a former LucasArts Adventure vet joining forces with a former adventure game giant is somewhat ironic.
