Sierra On-Line Founders Are Returning To Game Development

Sierra On-line is partially making a return as the founders of the company, Ken and Roberta Williams, are secretly working on a new video game.

Out of nowhere, it’s been revealed that Ken and Roberta Williams, the legendary founders of Sierra On-Line, are returning to game development with a brand new, original project. The company was famous for creating amazing video games in adventure and point-and-click genres that are currently experiencing somewhat of a Renaissance.

Although numerous indie studios have taken to developing various point-and-click video games in recent years, it became obvious that copying the legacy gameplay of past decades might not be the best idea for the modern gaming industry. In a hilarious video, one comedian decided to highlight the slight absurdity of the majority of old-school games’ gameplay, particularly the bizarre mechanics of combining completely unrelated items to create something meaningful. Funnily enough, the legacy gameplay of such titles might experience an unlikely comeback from the genre veterans.

According to Space Quest Historian on YouTube, the legendary Sierra On-line is partially making a return as the founders of the company, Ken and Roberta Williams, have been secretly working on a brand new video game for half a year. Although quite doubtful, the breaking news has been confirmed by none other than Ken Williams himself in a response to the YouTube content creator. The veteran developer announced that the project will be revealed in the coming months, but there’s nothing to share publicly at this moment. The Williams will probably start recruiting beta testers for their game in July or August. Sadly, the legendary Sierra founders did not elaborate further on what the title was about, but at least they confirmed it is a single-player game that is starting as a small project with distinctive Sierra flavor.
