Microids and Kheops Media recently announced that Return to Mysterious Island 2 is on its way to PCs and iPhones later this year…June, to be exact. The game is kind of cool in that it utilizes both devices for continuous play. Keep reading to find out how Kheops is making it all happen.

Labeled “the data sharing module” the developers are using it as a design model in which gamers can play the game on either the iPhone or PC and save the progress of the game to either platform. The synchronization enables gamers to save the progress on PC and then transfer over the data and continue to playing on the iPhone when they’re on the go. Neat, eh? Even better yet is that the progress made on the iPhone can then be saved back to the PC to further continue progression in the game.

The game itself sees players in control of two characters: Mina and her pet monkey Jep. As Mina players will venture about the island in hopes of saving it from the outside pollution by solving puzzles, reading documents, combining items, etc. When in control of Jep, players will use the monkey to reach areas and access parts of the world that are unreachable by Mina or communicate with other monkeys to gather information. Such a feature isn’t groundbreaking, but at least it sounds mighty intriguing.

You can look for the game to become available this June for the iPhone and PC. You can learn more about other products in this genre by visiting the Official Jules Verne Game Website. For more gaming news an updates, be sure to stay tuned in with Blend Games.
