This was posted on Alec Westwood's Facebook earlier today:

"Today

I resurrect Folly the Jester!!

All will be revealed

At a later date

Can’t wait!!!

Woo hoo hoo heh heh heh!!!"

It's probably nothing. It's almost definitely nothing.

WHAT IS HE TALKING ABOUT?!

How intriguing. My first assumption was Knightmare Live, but if it's something he's done today that won't be revealed until later, maybe not.

As a side note, I've sometimes wondered how best to transcribe Folly's laughter and this post is a big help, LOL!

Right?! I could hear the laugh perfectly when I read it

I would love to see him in Knightmare Live, I was so sad when he wasn't at the 10th anniversary show. Maybe it's for a future show? I could see Folly or a Folly-equivalent character being in pantomime ^^

Could Lego Knightmare be returning from its long hiatus?

OH OKAY SO I GUESS THIS IS WHAT HE MEANT?! https://youtu.be/JQnQ0HJ_VeU?si=xuXiYRK-Mf8luJQ1

I shall wait for a thread to open to completely geek out but I am elated!

Wow! What a cast, I hope they will share more clips on the channel.

There's going to be an interview with the creators of this new game on Temporal Discussion pretty soon.

Haha I wish I could edit the title of this but oh well ^^''

So here is what's known so far:

The game is currently named "Knightmare" - it's a point-and-click adventure
The game is officially approved by Tim Child
Seven original actors are reprising their roles (Hugo Myatt, Mark Knight, Clifford Barry, Edmund Dehn, Iona Kennedy, Paul Valentine, and Alec Westwood), and one advisor from Season 4 (Katharine Bennett-Fox)
The game is a two-person job; Ewen Watson as the writer, and Sathya Schlösser as the artist/animator - NO AI USED, SWEET!
The game will be PC exclusive at first - potential for a Mac and Linux release too
The game is estimated to have 1-2 hours of playtime, but I'm guessing will have replayability if there's multiple paths
No release date, but said to come out in 2027

I'm intrigued to find out who Katharine is playing - perhaps someone like Lillith whose original actor is no longer available? (Unless the game includes an advisor for the player and she's just being herself!!)
