Revived Publisher Sierra Plans to Release New Kings Quest

One of the oldest, and most popular game developers of all-time, is being revived in order to bring new versions of their classic titles. The developer is none other than Sierra, and they are coming back with a vengeance -- promising a brand new addition to the ever popular King's Quest adventure series.

Sierra has been around for a long time, or at least they had been until the company shut their doors back in 2008. They were independent from 1979 - 1996, before working with a number of different publishers between 1996 - 2008. Currently, the company is owned by Activision, specifically a subsidiary of Activision Blizzard.

The popular developer has been a part of a number of major game series, including but not limited to games like: Spyro, Crash Bandicoot, Kings Quest, Half-Life, Counter-Strike, and many others. They were not the original developer for all of these titles (although they did create some), but they have played a major part in developing these games at some point in the series.

Also on the agenda for new games, is a new Geometry Wars installment, entitled Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions. Although King's Quest isn't set to release until 2015, Dimensions is slated for a Holiday 2014 release, so we should hopefully see some work from the "new Sierra" before the end of the year.

It will definitely be interesting to see what they are able to come up with after taking a few years off from the industry, and it is unknown exactly how many people from the original team will be joining the re-boot. Still, it is hard not to get excited if you are a fan of classic PC games. Definitely keep an eye out for any news regarding the revival of Sierra Entertainment, and we'll be sure to keep you posted here at Download3k.
