Today Publisher Nordic Games and developer King Art, creators of the critically acclaimed adventure title, The Book of Unwritten Tales, released a new trailer for their upcoming point-and-click adventure, The Raven: Legacy of a Master Thief.

The Raven is a classic point-and-click adventure that’s set in 1960’s Europe. The story revolves around a rash of high-profile burglaries conducted by a masterful thief known only as The Raven that have left local authorities baffled. During one fateful night in 1960 during a heist in Paris a hotshot investigator Nicolas LeGrand stuns the world when he supposedly mortally wounds the cunning crook.

Fast forward four years later, a priceless ruby dubbed ‘the Eye of the Sphinx’ is looted from a London museum. Left behind at the scene of the crime is a telltale raven’s feather. Is this the calling card of the long dead master thief, or is something more devious afoot?

Now it’s up to investigator Jakob Zellner to solve the caper and uncover the mysteries surrounding the fate of The Raven.

The Raven looks to be another exciting addition to a genre that until recently seemed all but on life support. We’re eager to get our hands on this caper when it lands on the Xbox 360, PS3, Mac and PC later this year.
