Activision Sierra's forthcoming reboot of King's Quest will be launching in a five-chapter setup with a bonus epilogue, and the publisher has announced part one of that setup will release at the end of next month.

Sierra today revealed that the first chapter of the new King’s Quest – titled King’s Quest: A Knight to Remember – will launch as a digital download in Australia and New Zealand on July 29 for $12.95 AUD or $14.95 NZD on the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 computer entertainment systems, as well as Windows PC. It will arrive on July 29 for the same price on Xbox One, the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft, and the Xbox 360 games and entertainment system from Microsoft. It is rated PG - Mild fantasy themes and violence.

In addition, Sierra today announced that a bundle* of all five chapters, including a future bonus playable story epilogue, of the new King’s Quest – named King’s Quest: The Complete Collection* – is now available to pre-order on the PlayStation®Network and Steam for $49.95 AUD or $59.95 NZD. Xbox One pre-orders on the Xbox Games Store will begin on July 8 for the same price.

The game is being handled by the studio behind the critically acclaimed The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom and is being pushed out as a Sierra product and not an Activision product, which my or may not be a good thing. Either way it is actually looking pretty slick.

What are your thoughts on the Capter-style rollout of the game though?
