Simon the Sorcerer Origins: Physical Nintendo Switch Release Date Revealed, New Publisher Confirmed

Smallthing Studios’ much-anticipated title, Simon the Sorcerer Origins, is officially set for a physical release on Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5.

An Amazon listing that surfaced earlier this week has revealed both a launch date and a crucial publishing update for this modern revival of the beloved point-and-click adventure originally developed by Adventure Soft.

Announced as a reimagining of the classic 1993 franchise, Simon the Sorcerer Origins has garnered significant attention from fans of the genre and the wider gaming community.

The title promises to deliver a modern take on the whimsical, puzzle-solving gameplay that defined Adventure Soft’s original, accompanied by an updated visual style and narrative direction under the guidance of Smallthing Studios.

According to the newly posted Amazon listings, physical editions of Simon the Sorcerer Origins for Nintendo Switch and PS5 are scheduled for release on October 21, 2025.

The product page, now visible for pre-order, sets the retail price at $29.99.

Noteworthy is the game’s change in publishing partners: where previous information pointed to Leonardo Interactive, these new listings confirm that ININ Games—well-known for its work translating and publishing niche titles—will now be handling the physical release.

The development timeline for Simon the Sorcerer Origins has featured its share of silence; the last major update arrived in March 2023 during the Future Games Show Spring Showcase, with the previous trailer indicating a planned launch before the end of 2024.

In the interim, questions from fans have filled the Steam Discussions forums, as the project went quiet across official channels.

With the Amazon listings going live, the likelihood of a misstep was hinted at by recent ININ Games social media activity, where the publisher had teased an upcoming announcement.

While no new digital release details have been provided for platforms such as PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch eShop, or PC, anticipation remains high.

Gamers and fans of the classic series are advised to watch for further updates from Smallthing Studios and ININ Games regarding digital launch windows and expanded platform availability.

Simon the Sorcerer Origins continues to be a standout in the adventure game genre’s ongoing renaissance, and its confirmed physical arrival on Nintendo Switch offers a fresh opportunity for both longtime fans and newcomers to experience this celebrated universe.
