King’s Quest

There are certain computer game genres whose popularity fluctuates. Quests are one such genre. Just yesterday, or rather, 15-30 years ago, they were extremely popular, but today they rarely attract attention, only the most anticipated projects. And the new installment King’s Quest, is certainly highly anticipated. This series first appeared back in 1983, and for 15 years it was regularly updated, then there was a long, long hiatus. And now it's over! All fans will be able to download King’s Quest via torrent already in 2015.

Sierra's vision was continued by the small company The Odd Gentlemen, famous for its puzzle game with unusual gameplay, The Misadventures of PB Winterbottom. However, Sierra is also involved in the project, serving as the publisher. The quest is created in keeping with tradition, while, as the developers note, serving as a reimagining of past releases. This isn't a copycat or a complete reboot — it's a new King’s Quest is designed to fit seamlessly into the legendary series. The story will be dedicated to good old King Graham. And not just in a symbolic sense.

Graham's favorite pastime these days is telling his granddaughter, Princess Gwendolyn, stories of his heroic adventures. However, he also has a lot to say about his parents, King Alexander and Queen Cassima. As a reminder, they were once kidnapped by an evil wizard, but Graham prevented him from carrying out his evil plans... During these adventures, true love was born, and later, Gwendolyn. However, in King’s Quest Rather than retelling past exploits, the game focuses on Graham's unknown travels. Players will battle a dragon, search for a magic mirror, and experience other captivating stories. Enjoy them all with the simple point-and-click control system.

If the first chapter of the new part King’s Quest is primarily about Graham and Gwendolyn, so it's likely that the next chapters will follow the adventures of Alexander, Cassima, Rosella, and other characters. Yes, you heard right — chapter chapters. There are expected to be five of them, with the first scheduled for release in late July 2015. To ensure the quest attracts as much attention as possible, and it fully deserves it, the release will take place on all five major gaming platforms, spanning PC and consoles of two generations. The game is vibrant and built on the Unreal engine.

One of the developers before the release King’s Quest He explained that while studying the series, specialists discovered many "loopholes" left by Sierra. These are understood to mean interesting, yet under-explored, moments that are ideal for starting a new narrative. Therefore, it can be said that the foundation belongs to Sierra, and The Odd Gentlemen skillfully exploited the opportunities provided. At the same time, this isn't a high-definition version of the previous installments. King’s Quest 2015 is a completely independent project.
