King’s QuestTM: A Knight to Remember begins the new adventures contained within the five-chapter release.


View the launch trailer here.

Quote:
London, UK – 28th July 2015 – Today Sierra™, part of Activision Publishing, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Activision Blizzard, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI), released the first chapter in its new reimagining of one of adventure gaming’s most treasured franchises, King’s Quest™. Titled King’s Quest: A Knight to Remember, this debut chapter is now available as a digital download in Europe on Windows PC via Steam. It will be available later today for Xbox One and Xbox 360 on the Xbox Games Store and it will be available tomorrow on the PlayStation®4 and PlayStation®3 computer entertainment systems through the PlayStation®Store. It is rated PEGI 12+.

Players may also purchase King’s Quest: The Complete Collection , a bundle containing all five chapters of the new King’s Quest along with an exclusive bonus playable story epilogue*on the PlayStation®Store, Xbox Games Store and Steam. Alternately, those who buy King’s Quest: A Knight to Remember individually at launch can choose to purchase the King’s Quest Season Pass, securing their access to the remaining four chapters of the game once available, but not the bonus epilogue.

Developed by The Odd Gentlemen, an independent studio with a talent for crafting fantastical tales, characters and worlds, the new King’s Quest rekindles the classic charm and curiosity that has captivated fans of this family-friendly series for over 30 years. As an aging King Graham looks back on a life of heroic adventure with his precocious granddaughter, Gwendolyn, players will be able to experience first-hand the unforgettable puzzles, places and personalities of his greatest untold stories. The first passage in a five-chapter journey, King’s Quest: A Knight to Remember unfolds on Graham’s early days as a bright-eyed teen in Daventry, competing in a contest of wit and valour for a knighthood in King Edward’s royal court.

“Today is a new beginning, both for those of us who grew up with the King’s Quest games that Roberta Williams and Sierra Entertainment created, as well as for those who are visiting Daventry for the very first time,” said Matt Korba, President and Creative Director of The Odd Gentlemen. “We hope we’ve made something that feels special for everyone as we turn together to a new page in Graham’s legend.”

The second chapter of King’s Quest is expected to arrive later this year. For more news and updates until then, please visit www.sierra.com and follow Sierra on Facebook and Twitter.

*Subsequent chapters and epilogue may be downloaded in-game as available upon individual release throughout 2015 and 2016.


Happy Gaming!

Sounds great, thank you, BrownEyedTigre smile

[I'm hoping, though, that it might eventually become available outside of Steam.]

Thanks, Ana. I've heard really great things about this so far! Like Mad, I'm also going to wait a bit. Hoping it comes to GOG, and also it's a little expensive now. I may cave and get it anyway next month, however, when I have a bit more to spend. grin

Having been a fan of the King's Quest games since 1985, when I played my first adventure game on an Apple IIGS, I am also excited about the news of a revival. That said, I do feel the need to express my unhappiness at the current trend of episodic adventure games.

I realize that it's probably more economical to produce games in this way and perhaps some wouldn't be made if not for this (blankety blank) trend but it still irks me. I will wait until the final episode to play this game, even though I'm tempted but I like to play a game from beginning to end in one playthrough and not have to wait for the next episode to come out several months in the future. In fact, I've quit contributing to kickstarter projects unless I'm sure that it's not going to be episodic for just that reason. (Heck at my age I'm not even sure that I'm going to be around for episode 5 rotfl crazy although I have every intention of hanging around.)

So, I'll just bide my time and mentally tell myself that episode 5 is the real episode 1 or something of that nature.

I realize that is the way of things now and I can do nothing to change it but I don't have to like it and I definitely don't. (I'm reminded of the long long wait for Silver lining which has been going on now for 15 years and, although they keep saying it's still being worked on, there is really no light at the end of any tunnel.)

That's the end of this old geezer's rant. blech


You laugh because I'm different
I laugh because you're all the same

Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most.
