Fortunately you are not correct. Ironically you wrote this post the day Ron "Monkey Island" Gilbert released Thimbleweed Park on PC, Mac and Xbox One (I hope it will be ported to Switch). TP is arguably the most awaited p&c game of recent years by genre fans.
During the past years we got more new p&c adventure games (Deponia series, Book of Unwritten Tales series, Blackwell series, Shardlight, The Inner World, The Little Acre, Broken Age, Nelly Cootaloot, Fran Bow, SOMA, Technobabylon... to name just a few) than back in the heyday of the genre in the 80s and 90s, plus remasters of the best LucasArts games and new entries in fan-favorite classic franchises like Broken Sword, King's Quest, The Longest Journey or now Syberia. The next big re-release will be the remaster of Tim Schafer's Full Throttle on PC in April (I hope it will be ported by DoubleFine to Switch as well, same goes for Grim Fandango and Day of the Tentacle).
OT: Syberia isn't among my favorite p&c franchises but it's nice to have another entry soon. I will get it on Switch.
