An officially licensed Knightmare game, based on the British TV show, is coming next year
An officially licensed, free point-and-click game based on the ITV children’s show Knightmare is in development for PC, with a release planned for next year. The launch will mark 40 years since the show began, bringing its hand-painted fantasy dungeons and original cast back in game form.
Writer and designer Ewen Watson is leading the project, which has the blessing of creator Tim Child. Returning actors include Hugo Myatt as Treguard and Mark Knight as Lord Fear; the game drops the original life-force meter to give players more time to explore. Watson expects the adventure to take a couple of hours, and there are currently no plans for a console release.
In short
- Knightmare is returning as a free PC adventure next year.
- Original cast members, including Treguard’s actor, are returning.
- The short game drops the show’s life-force meter.
