King’s Quest is an ongoing episodic video game series developed by The Odd Gentlemen, published by Sierra Entertainment and distributed by Activision. It is a new re-imagining of the King’s Quest series. While it is an adventure game like the previous games in the series, the interface is not fully point-and-click (the PC version only uses point and click for the dialogue and first person scenes).
The game is one of several attempts at resurrecting or rebooting the King’s Quest franchise. The new chapters are seen as neither a remake nor necessarily a sequel but a “re-imagining” (the original games are considered to be part of the canon of the new series, as each chapter will take place between those games, but previous games maybe reinterpreted in completely new ways (such as the reimagined dragon well scene inspired by events in King’s Quest I)). It is not, however, considered King’s Quest IX, according to Matt Korba.
The game is to be released in five parts, with an optional playable Epilogue only included in King’s Quest: The Complete Collection edition.
