Longest Journey trekking to iPhone

Funcom's The Longest Journey was a critical hit upon release. The fan favorite is now over a decade old, but a new way to experience protagonist April Ryan's adventure is on the way.

Speaking with VideoGamer.com, Funcom creative director Ragnar Tornquist revealed that The Longest Journey will be returning as an iPhone title. Tornquist did not indicate whether the game would be available on other iOS platforms, nor did he reveal a release window for the title.

The Longest Journey is a classic-style point-and-click adventure game that places the player in the role of April Ryan, a young woman with the power to shift between parallel worlds of technology and magic. Through her journey, April finds that she is the only one with the ability to save both worlds from destruction.

A third-person action adventure sequel to The Longest Journey was released in 2006's Dreamfall: The Longest Journey for the PC and the original Xbox.
