Since 1993, Simon the Sorcerer has been the cheeky, sarcastic hero of a magical world full of monsters, mayhem, and mind-bending puzzles. Simon is returning to screens in his biggest all-new adventure yet, and to mark this milestone, a brand-new trailer has been released, giving fans a fresh look at Simon's magical world and what is inside the Deluxe Edition.
Over three decades have passed since Simon the Sorcerer first cast his spell on adventure game fans. Simon the Sorcerer Origins invites players to step back into his world, 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 hand-drawn origin story.
The magic doesn't stop at the visuals, as Simon the Sorcerer Origins comes alive with a brand-new original soundtrack by acclaimed composer Mason Fischer, perfectly capturing the whimsy, wonder, and emotional depth of Simon's enchanting 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.
Simon the Sorcerer Origins is out 28 October 2025!
