Reports on the death of the adventure game genre have been greatly exaggerated. We're getting a new Monkey Island game this year. Telltale Games puts out consistently good titles. There's Kentucky Route Zero, Telling Lies, the Life is Strange series and spin offs, the Dark Pictures Anthology, and more.
And those are just "pure" adventure games. There are a lot of narrative driven games that I would call "adventure games with extra mechanics". I'm talking about Control, Quantum Break, Medium, A Plague Tale, etc.
Adventure games are still out there. And many of them are great.
- jimbob45 4y ago+1 to this. I’ll add Unavowed came out in the last five years and is, IMHO, the best game in the genre.

- artificial 4y agoI thought Telltale went bust?
- djmips 4y agoI not fully able to surmise why they went bankrupt but I get the feeling it was more of a bankruptcy due to ambition / growth and bad planning rather than the genre going bust but I don't know. I'd be curious to know more.
