It seems like it was just yesterday that Ubisoft was still referring to its mysterious, Eric Chahi-led game by its working title, "Project Dust." Oh, what a difference a day makes. Introducing: From Dust, as elegantly illustrated on the above sign adorning a Ubisoft meeting room at Gamescom this morning. Perhaps the just-scribbled-in-Sharpie aesthetic was what they were going for but, in case it was an act of curious vandalism, we asked a Ubisoft press liasion who confirmed that, yes, From Dust is the official, just-announced title.
Unfortunately, the above image is the closest we've been able to get to any kind of announcement from Ubisoft so you'll just have to trust us. [Update: Ubisoft has just forwarded a fact sheet for "From Dust."]

The only Ubisoft news we need to hear about is for Beyond Good and Evil 2. Is it canceled? On hold? In development?

@thisredengine I think if we just keep complaining about it they will eventually get pissed off and just make it to shut us up.

The sequel will be called From Rib and feature a female protagonist.

@postpwn Apples as in-game collectibles? Tree climbing mini-game? Boss battle with a snake?
I love it.

@CtrlBurn
Prom Dust would be a great game! Think 80s slasher vibe ... but maybe with zombies instead of spurned lovers.

@mikeymilkshake - You'd be lucky if your prom night didn't end with some parts getting a little dusty. It's happened to better men than I.

You're sure it's not "Prom Dust"?

Am I the only one who saw the picture and thought Joystiq was announcing a sequel to Tommy Wiseau's classic, The Room?

@Ziekk the novelty of the first would wear off with a sequel. Tommy Wiseau's shit, but he can't write something THAT bad again.
Also, really hyped for this game. Eric Chahi's a genius, and the game just sounds so interesting and unique.

It's not a great title, but I'm definitely looking forward to this game.
