Sierra's Coming Back With King's Quest, Geometry Wars

Giant Bomb's Site Mashup Sierra's Coming Back With King's Quest, Geometry Wars

The return of Sierra was teased last week, and Gamescom reports are filling in the details. We now know Sierra will be initially focusing on reviving both Geometry Wars and King's Quest.

The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom developer The Odd Gentlemen have been tasked with King's Quest, while Lucid Games, formed from the ashes of Bizarre Creations, is rebuilding Geometry Wars.

Geometry Wars creator Stephen Cakebread confirmed he's not involved with the new game, however.

"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 a press release. "We look forward to seeing Sierra's independent spirit live on, and are especially excited to see what The Odd Gentlemen will do with King's Quest."

New Sierra's focus will be on digital distribution, and is already in talks with a number of other developers.
