**ININ Games** is proud to announce the upcoming release of ***Simon The Sorcerer Origins***, developed by **Smallthing Studios**. This prequel to the beloved 1993 point-and-click classic will launch on **October 28, 2025**, and be available worldwide on all major platforms: Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PC, Mac, Linux and is even Steam Deck compatible. Standard retail editions for Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5, a **Limited Special Edition** (including the “Pony” DLC) for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5 and PC are now available for pre-order at [ININGAMES.COM](https://prhound.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=7a1bc338c984f6645b0ec681a&id=35956e6163&e=217d119895). All digital versions will be announced at a later date.

With over three decades having passed since *Simon The Sorcerer* first cast his spell on adventure game fans, *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 Simon’s 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.

*“We are absolutely thrilled to welcome Simon The Sorcerer Origins to the ININ family,”* said **Helmut Schmitz, Head of ININ Games**. *“The Simon The Sorcerer series holds a special place in the history of adventure games and has been instrumental in shaping the genre. It’s a true honor to work alongside Smallthing Studios on a title that not only pays tribute to the legacy of the original games but also invites a whole new generation of players into this magical world.”*

*“We are thrilled and moved to officially announce the collaboration between Smallthing Studios and fantastic ININ GAMES for the distribution of Simon The Sorcerer Origins, in all formats, over thirty years (1993) after its first appearance on Amiga and PC!”* said **Massy Calamai, Game Director & Founder of Smallthing Studios**. *“A heartfelt thanks to all those who have and are working behind the scenes and all those who have waited in the stands. The curtain is opening.”*

*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 Simon’s trademark sarcasm.

***A brand new story trailer is in preparation and will be available shortly.***
