Back in February we broke the news that Mysterious Island 2 will be jointly launched for PC and iPhone. Since then Chillingo have taken the reins of publishing the game, which is due on the AppStore any day now for $4.99.

With Myst recently released, it’s looking good for point and click adventure fans out there. Check out new video footage and the press release below:

CHILLINGO AND TETRAEDGE LAUNCH JULES VERNE’S “RETURN TO MYSTERIOUS ISLAND” FOR IPHONE /IPOD TOUCH

United Kingdom and France – May 25, 2009 – Chillingo and Tetraedge Games are proud to announce the impending availability of its new game: Jules Verne’s “Return To Mysterious Island” for iPhone and iPod touch on the Apple App Store.

“Return to Mysterious Island” is a content rich adventure game, part of the Microids catalog, the leader in adventure games standing at approximately 420Mb in size, possibly the biggest game to launch on the iPhone in the Apple App Store. The game, inspired by the great Jules Verne’s novel, puts you in the shoes of Mina, a sailor who finds herself stranded on the shores of a wild and apparently uninhabited island somewhere in the south Pacific. As she explores her new surroundings, she uncovers artifacts, living spaces and technologies left behind by the people who came before her to this uncharted island.

Awaiting a rescue, Mina uses her survival skills against the wilds of the jungle and explores the world around her hoping to find what has been left behind. True to the novel that inspired it, the game will have you exploring the island, in search for food or tools, while solving the many mysteries that hide from its cloudy heights down to its deepest caves. Every player will have their own unique ways of advancing through the game as there is no game-imposed linear ordering to how the game is played.

Jules Verne’s “Return to Mysterious Island” contains stunning 3D graphics, many ambient sounds, music designed to enhance the mysterious atmosphere and feel. It is perfect for experienced adventure gamers as well as for Jules Verne’s novels reader or even very casual players. A very intuitive in-game tutorial will guide your first steps of the adventure. A full 3D environment with numerous tricky mini-games and intriguing puzzles, will keep you entertained for over 15 hours of exciting gameplay.

I know this isn’t the point, but “possibly the biggest game in the Apple App Store”? Really? Myst weighs in at a bit over 700MB, IIRC.

Yep Myst is bigger, but that is their press release, I can’t really change it
