Oops, got a bit excited there. So, here’s the rundown on Simon The Sorcerer Origins. It’s all about bringing back that classic vibe we all love. ININ Games and this cool gang called Smallthing Studios are working together. They’re cooking up something special for the Switch.
So, here’s the deal. They snagged a license from Adventure Soft Publishing – those folks who did the original magic. And guess what? This one’s like a rewind, a prequel, if you dig that lingo. “A few weeks before,” they say. Before what? Before the first game, duh. Honestly, didn’t see that coming!
They’re sticking to these cartoon graphics. You know, that Saturday morning nostalgia. But with a twist! Real-time sequences or some mystery like that. Spells and puzzles are gonna be in the mix. Apparently, fans had burning questions from the first go-around, and now, finally, the answers are here. Maybe.
Oh, and the voices! Simon’s back with Chris Barrie and Erik Borner bringing the charm in English and German. And hold onto your hats, folks. Rick Astley—yes, the “Never Gonna Give You Up” guy—is in on it. His track “Together Forever” is part of the deal.
Circle the calendar or scribble on your hand because October 28, 2025, is when it drops. Both in stores and on the Nintendo eShop. Grab your Switch, and maybe some patience too.
And that’s not the end of it. There’s this trailer – really, it exists, I promise. Go give it a watch, if you fancy that sort of thing.
