Precious few details at the moment, but it seems there's going to be a new King's Quest from the devs behind P.B. Winterbottom. It doesn't seem like Roberta Williams is involved, but Ken issued a statement. This is apparently a part of Activision's effort to bring back the Sierra brand for digital fake-indie games.

No Roberta Williams is the best part of that statement.
They were showing off PC Geometry Wars at PAX East. It was playable with mouse and keyboard. Never play Geometry Wars with mouse and keyboard.

I can't imagine why anyone who enjoys King's Quest would dislike her. She pretty much is King's Quest.
King's Quest has to be the most overrated adventure game series of all time (VI is decent). Roberta Williams is an awful, awful hack.
New Geometry Wars is neat, though.
I think you missed the admittedly tasteless joke.Quote:
