The new, old world of Simon the Sorcerer: Origins
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 magical prequel offers fans old and new a visually rich and hilariously twisted fantasy journey.
Speaking of visually rich
Inspired by late ‘90s and early 2000s Disney animation, the game boasts over 15,000 hand-drawn frames and cinematic sequences crafted by some of 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.
Open your ears to the Music
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. Fisher’s soundtrack blends whimsical fantasy with emotional depth, enhancing both the comedic and heartfelt moments of Simon’s journey.
Get ready to laugh
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.
