ININ Games and Smallthing Studios have shared a story trailer for Simon The Sorcerer Origins, which is coming to Nintendo Switch.
Licensed by Adventure Soft Publishing, this is an official prequel to the fan-favourite point-and-click adventure set “a few weeks before” the original game.
Returning with a cartoon-like visual style, the developer has looked to implement “seamless real-time sequences, magic and puzzle-solving tied together with an engrossing storyline that will finally answer some important questions raised by fans from the first game.”
Simon’s original voice actors have returned in both English (Chris Barrie) and German (Erik Borner), and the legendary singer-songwriter Rick Astley will also contribute to the game’s soundtrack, with his song Together Forever.
Simon The Sorcerer Origins will be released at retail and digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch worldwide on 28 October 2025.
