Genuinely legendary game designerRon Gilbert– whose works include the classic adventure gameMonkey Island, the RTS Total Annihilation (as producer), and the term “cutscenes” – is making a new game.

We also have a smattering of screens to look over, including a village area with a bakery and weapon shop, which certainly whiff of Zelda. I bet that statue of the sword-wielding hero has a sunken staircase beneath it.
