Nobilis announced today that the upcoming Da Vinci Experience has been renamed The Secrets of Da Vinci: The Forbidden Manuscript. The game is nearing completion and will be released in April 2006. Nobilis holds the game's worldwide publishing rights.

Although not an adaptation of Dan Brown's bestselling The Da Vinci Code, the game will deal with similar subject matter as the player puzzles through enigmas hidden in Leonardo Da Vinci's work. The game will be in first-person perspective, using the same engine as last year's ECHO: Secrets of the Lost Cavern and VOYAGE.

As those games were, The Secrets of Da Vinci is being developed through a partnership among several development houses. The team includes Kheops Studio, Mzone Studio, Totem Studio, and Elektrogames. Keep your eye on Adventure Gamers to learn more about this title as it becomes available.
