Every picture tells a story...
Set in the weeks before the events of the original 1993 hit, Simon The Sorcerer Origins invites players to venture back into the world of sarcasm, spells, and sublime storytelling. This anticipated prequel offers fans old and new a visually rich and hilariously twisted fantasy journey. Inspired by late ‘90s and early 2000s Disney animation, the game boasts over 15,000 hand-drawn frames and cinematic sequences crafted by the talented artists who worked on the Oscar-nominated film Klaus. With 50 entirely hand-drawn backgrounds and a fully animated cast of 15 unique characters, Origins is a love letter to traditional 2D art, refined through months of rigorous visual design and testing.
Simon The Sorcerer Origins doesn’t just look the part—it sounds it too. The game’s original score is composed by industry veteran Mason Fisher, whose past work includes titles from the iconic Eye of the Beholder III to entries in the F.E.A.R. series at Warner Bros. Games. Fisher’s soundtrack blends whimsical fantasy with emotional depth, enhancing both the comedic and heartfelt moments of Simon’s journey. Voicing the ever-sarcastic Simon once again is Chris Barrie, the iconic British comedian and actor known for his role as Arnold Rimmer in iconic sci-fi sitcom Red Dwarf and as Hilary, Lara Croft’s eccentric butler, in the Tomb Raider film series. Barrie originally lent his voice to Simon in the 90s and now returns after more than three decades to reprise the role, bringing his signature wit, timing, and unmistakable voice back to the character that fans first fell in love with.
German audiences will be treated to the return of Erik Borner, the voice actor who gave Simon his charm and irreverence in the German versions of the original games. Together, these seasoned talents ensure that Simon The Sorcerer Origins stays true to its legendary roots.
Whether you’re stepping into the Magical World for the first time or returning 30 years older, Simon The Sorcerer Origins welcomes you with open arms. Fully hand-drawn and steeped in the charm of the original saga, Origins reimagines the classic point-and-click adventure with modern sensibilities, stunning animation, and Simon’s unmistakable sense of humour.
