This story has been updated with a few clarifications from me.
Discworld was originally released in 1995, having been created with input from Discworld novels author Terry Pratchett.
On its launch, the game was well-received, with many complimenting its humour.
It became a classic of its time, and a source of many fond memories.
I can still recall the voice of Eric Idle’s Rincewind perfectly.
A sequel then followed in the form of Discworld 2: Missing Presumed…!?
in 1996, before Discworld Noir arrived in 1999.
But, could we see Discworld and its follow-ups remastered for modern hardware?
This was because many assumed the rights were in some sort of limbo.
The other 50 percent, meanwhile, had gone to the crown.
So that’s the two owners of the games,” he explained.
He suggested “something may be happening down the track”.
“It’s obviously a complicated process when you’re dealing with the crown,” Barnett closed.
I personally would love the chance to revisit Discworld with my two children.
What do you think?
Do you reckon King Charles would be up for it?
