Animal Farm, the famous George Orwell novel that we all pretend we read in high school, may not be the most obvious source material for a licensed videogame. But with the blessing of the author's estate, it's happening: Developers including Bossa Studios founder Imre Jele, The Chinese Room co-founder Jessica Curry, and A Brave Plan founder Georg Backer have announced an upcoming "adventure-tycoon game" adaptation that will "deliver Orwell's vision in an interactive format."

http://www.pcgamer.com/bear-with-me-a-noir-teddy-bear-adventure-concludes-in-october/
Bear With Me is an "episodic noir adventure game" about the search for a young boy who's gone missing in a dark, shadowy world. But it's probably not quite as grim and gritty as it sounds. The lead characters are the boy's sister, Amber, and her "gruff chain-smoking private investigator sidekick," Ted E. Bear, who as it happens (and notwithstanding the fact that he walks, talks, and is in the grips of a serious nicotine addiction) is a literal teddy bear. The first episode was released in August 2016, and the third and final ep—and also the biggest in the series—is coming on October 5.

A couple of months back, PUBG executive producer Chang Han Kim said cross-platform play between PCs and consoles is something that is "definitely" on Bluehole's radar.
