Diaz Canales (the writer of the comics) just confirmed it on Facebook.
Cover art is really cool.
Edit: Sorry about that, I was on the phone.

Oh I figured that, but is it TellTale style? 3rd Person? Etc?
sir_crocodile should I be concerned that it's by Pendulo Studios?
I might cave in and buy the SE on PC. Those extra stuff look neat.

I just saw "Under the Skin" and thought we were getting a remaster of the Capcom hidden gem on the PS2. Admittedly, I realize that was very unlikely.
Awesome. I picked up one of the collections on a whim and thoroughly enjoyed it. What a surprise, I'll likely pick this up day one.
Check the original comics. They are amazing. I used to be really into drawing and they are a masterclass in perspective.
To add on to what Funky Papa said, Blacksad is also one of the best showcases of watercolor illustration mastery in the comic book industry. I fell in love with the art the style the moment I laid eyes on it and was lucky enough to get a book signed by the artist, Juanjo Guarnido at NY Comic Con 2015 or 2016 (my memory is fuzzy). It's definitely a series worth checking out as it's like Raymond Chandler, Dashiel Hammett, and a bit of Sherlock Holmes rolled into one.

Part of me does wish it was cel-shaded to try to match the watercolor style of the comics as close as possible. But having seen this new trailer, I think it looks pretty solid. In my mind though, Blacksad sounded more like Kevin Conroy. Still, the voice actor for the game has a gruffness from the smoking vice which gets the feel right. I'll be following the game as impressions roll out.

This looks cool, but even after watching the trailer I'm confused as to what type of game this is 3rd person adventure, visual novel? I thought it was going to be like a wolf among us
Personal opinion obviously but I think that a cel shaded look would have benefitted this game (likely I'm biased given the first part of my post)
I also thought mr. Blacksad would have a ummm blacker voice

We Americans barely know Doraemon; Blacksad doesn't stand a chance...
Blacksad is a really damn good graphic novel series. The anthromorphic designs really do wonders for the expressions and characters, And the artist worked for Disney.
Yep, even if they haven't quite nailed Guarnido's wonderful lines and colour washes, the actual colour palette and art direction looks like its heading in the right direction. Some of the animation looked a tad suss but overall this is looking pretty good (fingers crossed).
It could have been so much worse...
I mean, I would have said yes you should be concerned, but to be fair the last pendulo game I played was made 10 years ago, so they may have gotten better since then.
I just realized only a few months ago that Blacksad was made in Spain D: The setting is so U.S.ish it fooled me completely.
An incredible comic book series.
Looking forward to the game - if it ends up being in the same quality bracket as The Wolf Among Us, then I'll be very happy.

One, excited to see this game coming out this year, holding my thumbs so hard for that it turns out good.
Two, when is comic volume six and seven!?

It was made by Juan Díaz Canales as writer and Juanjo Guarnido as the illustrator.
Bought this edition a year ago and it's one of the best purchases I've ever made:
IGN has a new video on it. Also bits of gameplay and they talk about it. I'm definitely interested!
I've been following this game since it was announced. I heard it was being delayed until November 5th but that might not be a bad thing since September is so packed with games. Not to derail too much, but after seeing the scrapped test footage from Mouse Guard, that'd make a cool game too.
