Gabriel Knight is Back On The Case in Sins of the Fathers Remake

October 8, 2013 by Ian Miles Cheong

Gabriel Knight returns to the world of crime-solving in this remake of the first Gabriel Knight title.

Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers is perhaps one of the best adventure games ever made. Developed by Jane Jensen for Sierra way back in the early '90s, Gabriel Knight defined the genre with its intelligently written puzzles, dark themes, and gripping storyline. 

Following a series of grisly voodoo murders in New Orleans, players take on the role of Gabriel Knight, a writer and bookstore owner who finds himself caught up in the intrigue as he attempts to solve the case.

According to the press release, the game is being reconstructed from scratch with all new retina display quality visuals and voice recording, in a development process overseen by Jensen.

"I'm thrilled to be back at work on Gabriel Knight and to bring this classic game to a new generation of players," says Jensen. "It's a designer's dream to be able to enhance the game and bring in more New Orleans flavor than technical limitations allowed us to in 1993. It's going to look and feel like a brand new title. But never fear, 100% of the original Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers is here. I hope both existing fans and new players will love it."

The revamped Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers will feature the same mature storyline and puzzle solving as the 1993 version, with research assistant Grace Nakimura, the inept Detective Mosely, and the local color of New Orleans supporting Gabriel's paranormal investigation. 

The press release goes on to state that high-resolution (2048×1536) 3D graphics will replace the original 640×480 resolution pixel art, presenting the authentic New Orleans environments with more detail than ever before. The remake will also have a remastered soundtrack by Robert Holmes, the game's original composer, and will include special edition content.

Pinkerton Road has been working on the Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers 20th anniversary edition under the working title "Mystery Game X" for about a year. The studio also has a brand new adventure game, Moebius, slated for release in 2013.

Further details and visuals of the game can be found at its official website.
