Overview

Phoenix Online Publishing is the publishing division of Phoenix Online Studios, an independent game development company that grew out of the King’s Quest fan game community. The label focuses on narrative-driven adventure games for Windows, macOS, and mobile platforms.

Sierra Connection

Phoenix Online Publishing has deep roots in Sierra’s legacy. The studio began as the team behind The Silver Lining, an ambitious fan-made continuation of the King’s Quest series that was eventually released with Activision’s blessing in 2010.

The publishing arm later partnered with legendary Sierra designer Jane Jensen to publish her post-Sierra projects, including the Gabriel Knight 20th Anniversary Edition remake and original titles through her Pinkerton Road Studio.
