A new X-Files game is in the works
It'll be narrative-driven, according to series creator Chris Carter.

Quote:
A new game based on The X-Files is in the works, according to series creator Chris Carter. All we know is that it will be a "narrative" game (which could mean anything, really)—he slipped the news into an interview about the end of series 11 of the TV show, and wasn't pressed on it further. No doubt we'll find out more soon.

"I made a joke the other day about The X-Files, the musical, but in reality, they’re actually making a really interesting narrative video game, different from the one that’s been launched already," he said in the interview with X-Files News.

I presume the already-launched game he's referring to is The X-Files: Deep State, a hidden object game that released on mobiles last month (to generally poor reviews). It's been a full 20 years since we had a proper X-Files game on PC—Richard returned to it in 2013 and found it to be "surprisingly okay". Read his take here.

My Virtual Struggle with Chris Carter's blessing, this could go so wrong in so many ways Crying or Very sad Laughing
Perhaps it could work if it's made as an investigative game with actual gameplay in it and interactivity (a la X..Noire), but when they say 'Narrative title' the sensation is that they likely mean the modern 3D Tellauto-movie type of flabby thing.

I still remember the last scene of the 7 CDs game, you had to make some kind of click real fast else it was game over...

Still it was a great game for xfiles fanboy like me, it was like playing an actual episode.

The only bad thing is that you couldn't play with mulder & scully, they were just characters.

I also really loved the FMV game. I love FMV games in general but that one was really well made and indeed pretty much felt like an X-Files episode.
