Classic charm meets modern magic in the long-awaited prequel to one of the most iconic adventure games of all time.

ININ and Smallthing Studios are proud to announce the upcoming release of Simon the Sorcerer Origins on October 28th!

With over three decades having passed since Simon the Sorcerer first cast his spell on adventure game fans in 1993, Simon the Sorcerer Origins invites players to step back into the enchanting world of magic, sarcasm, and mystery this time, to discover how it all began.

Longtime fans will be thrilled to know that the original voice actors return in both English (Chris Barrie) and German (Erik Borner), adding an extra layer of authenticity and nostalgia to this lovingly crafted origin story.

The game features an original soundtrack composed by Mason Fischer, capturing the emotional range and whimsical tone of Simons magical world. And as a very special surprise, Simon the Sorcerer Origins includes music icon Rick Astley in a special role, bringing a touch of 80s soul to the fantasy adventure.

This prequel to one of the most beloved point-and-click legends will launch on October 28, 2025, and be available worldwide on all major platforms: Steam (PC, Mac, and Linux) with full Steam Deck compatibility, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series S/X.

Simon the Sorcerer Origins brings the charming style of the 90s into the modern era: hand-drawn graphics, clever puzzles, humorous and emotional storytelling and of course, plenty of Simons trademark sarcasm.

And for fans of physical games:

Standard retail editions for Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5, as well as a Limited Special Edition for PC (Steam Key in Box), Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5 are now available for pre-order exclusively at ININGAMES.COM!
