Though early screenshots and vague details about a new game from Secret Files co-developer Animation Arts have been circulating since last year, today Deep Silver has finally unveiled the title of the new project, now named Lost Horizon.

The point-and-click adventure sends players back to the year 1936, a time when "Nazi henchmen are traveling the world over, searching for occult weapons to help with plans for further conquests – and for a key artifact to unlock the mythical Shambala." Conducting a search of his own is Fenton Paddock, a "former British soldier and hapless smuggler", who is sent to locate a lost expedition party in Tibet. This is only the beginning of his adventure, however, which soon leads him to Hong Kong and Morocco as well, ultimately in pursuit of a "secret that could turn the whole world upside down."

It will still be some time before Lost Horizon is ready to divulge that secret, as the game is currently scheduled for an unspecified date in 2010, with a German version expected first.
