May 11, 2015 — Sierra™ today released a new developer diary for its upcoming adventure game, King’s Quest™. Titled “Voicing a Modern Classic,” this video reveals the headlining talent at the heart of bringing to life The Odd Gentlemen’s bold reimagining of one of gaming’s most memorable franchises.
