California-based studio The Odd Gentlemen will have their new King’s Quest adventure game premiered this Friday during The Game Awards, the new awards event for the industry by Geoff Keighley.
The show will begin streaming this Friday @ 6pm PT. King’s Quest is one of the flagship PC adventure series from the days of Sierra, when it was all about mouse clicks and puzzles.

— Geoff Keighley (@geoffkeighley) December 2, 2014The King’s Quest series began life back in 1984 and was lauded critically - it was financed entirely by IBM. Sierra Entertainment has since revived itself and plans to re-release some of its old catalogue, as well as re-imaging some others.
”We’re very proud of what we created all those years ago with Sierra Online, and today’s news about carrying Sierra forward as an indie-specific brand is very encouraging,” said Sierra founder Ken Williams in an official statement. ”We look forward to seeing Sierra’s independent spirit live on.”
This week we’ll get to see how King’s Quest returns to us at The Game Awards.
