The King's Quest reboot's first chapter has received an official release date, and it's coming soon. Publisher Activision announced today that the opening episode of the new King's Quest, titled A Knight to Remember, will launch on July 28 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, and PC, and on July 29 for Xbox 360 and Xbox One.

Activision also explained that the episodes of the game are available separately or as part of a greater collection. King's Quest: The Complete Collection functions effectively as a season pass, giving buyers access to every episode as it becomes available. It also comes with a special, playable epilogue.

The developer of the reboot, The Odd Gentlemen, also published a new trailer for the first episode, which you can watch below.

Looks pretty cool, I love the style, although the lip syncing is a little off?

Either way though, I think I'll wait until all episodes are out before buying it. The waits are always a little too long for me and I find they take away from the experience.

Really? Why couldn't they have just made this a proper point & click adventure game?

Are you kidding me. Episodic. Activision, can you be any more blatant in your attempts to mimic TellTale?

I wanted a freaking adventure game, dicks.

I wonder if the 1 day Xbox gap has anything to do with Sony's relationship with Activision, seems pretty unlikely but it's pretty uncommon for a game to not release on the exact same date

What I really wanna know is what is the gameplay? Fighting? Narrative? Racing? Dancing? What? I've seen "gameplay" but most of that is just random cuts of the "game". It doesn't have to be Diablo or Witcher. I just wanna know how do I PLAY the game.

@Xicarah: It's a great sales tactic. Remain vague and hope people buy it either purely based on nostalgia or because they mistakenly think it's a Telltale game :).

@hystavito: I guess so. Either be vague and tell people "it's a wonderful adventure" and let the dream on what it is, but then you risk being a Destiny, on the other hand you tell people what it is and risk losing those people who would've bought it if they kept their mouth shut about the game.

I have looked up some old King's Quest games and they are along the lines of Grim Fandango types of point-and-click adventure games, so it's likely it will be an "evolution" of that kind. But when you show dragons and monsters you instinctively wanna fight so......

@bickle2: $40 for the full season on Steam so probably similar on consoles.

@lrdfancypants: Real Space Quest reboot would be quite awesome, but until that happens, least we're going to have Space Venture! One of these days. I hope.
