With its targeted first quarter release date now come and gone, the future of Simon the Sorcerer: Chaos Happens was beginning to look bleak. But while the full game may still face an uncertain future, now at least there's a trailer to help tide fans of the wise-cracking teen wizard over while they wait.

In his fourth fantasy adventure, Simon experiences a vision of Alix, his girlfriend from the Magic World, who tells him that a Simon doppelganger is wreaking havoc. Naturally (or perhaps quite unnaturally), there's nothing for Simon to do but hop in his magical wardrobe and get to the bottom of the matter and stop his mischievous clone.

The new trailer shows a fair bit of in-game footage, introducing Simon and a few of the game's many magical inhabitants, from vampire cats to undead warlocks to two-headed dogs. At 7 MB, the video can be streamed or downloaded from GameTrailers.

You'll notice, of course, that the trailer ends with a message saying the game will be "Out March 2008", which did not occur. Playlogic, the game's publisher, still has no firm updated release dates, though the company reports that negotiations are still ongoing for localized English language distributors to get the game on store shelves.
