After two critically acclaimed episodes of puzzles, puns and royal affairs, Sierra Games and The Odd Gentlemen have announced today that the third of their five instalment King’s Quest series will be released next month. The new episode is named Once Upon a Climb, and will tell the story of how King Graham met the love of his life, a young maiden by the name of Valanice. It is not known at this point in time how the new chapter will interweave with the previously established lore involving Graham’s Queen, but considering how she is the only existing character to be reintroduced since the beginning of the new King’s Quest, it will be interesting to see how The Odd Gentlemen establish her in their world.
Once Upon A Climb will be made available on April 24th 2016, on each of the platforms where King’s Quest has been released. As with A Knight to Remember and Rubble Without A Cause, you can purchase each episode separately, but if you buy the season pass, you will receive an additional epilogue episode that cannot be accessed by individual purchase. Will you be joining Graham as he embarks on a journey with his future wife? Let us know what you think in the comments below.
