On the site you can already watch the trailer which feature some scenes of the game. Even in 3D they managed to keep the typical Goblins-Comic look.

"Since 2004, Pierre Gilhodes been independently developing the fourth game in the series – "Gobliiins 3D". "Gobliiins 3D" is a direct sequel to the first game. "Gobliiins 3D" was supposed to be launched by the end of April 2007. So far, no distributor has acquired the rights for distributing the game."
maybe they wait for a distributor to fork over the money for a translation

Excellent. In any case, I can't imagine it would be all that hard to translate it if it's going to be faithfull to the spirit of the original games. Part of the charm of the series has always been that it wasn't big on text - it was mucking around with objects with your characters and seeing what happened.
An email (in shakey english) from the website told me that a US release would be coming in a few months. So I can safely assume a fully english version will be available.
To anyone who wants to read the site, just go load it up in babelfish.altavista.com - you can translate just about any major language to another language, and even actively browse.

He mentioned at one point that the new game was going to be called "Goblïnoids" which, given the naming scheme of the series, I took as meaning that one of the presumed two goblins in the game would be two-headed. Could have made for some fun jokes, I guess.
I'm glad though that he's returned to the original trio, sort of brings the series back to the roots. Looks great, can't wait to try it out (once it's released in English).
