Discworld rerelease "may happen" but depends on "King Charles", developer says


A re-release of 90s point and click Discworld games “may happen”, designer Gregg Barnett has teased.

However, the developer said because of the way intellectual property rights work in the UK, 50 percent of the game currently belongs to the crown, which complicates matters a tad. In a recent interview with Time Extension, Barnett was asked about the rights to Discworld, and whether any publishers had tried to contact him about them. Barnett subsequently told the publication that 50 percent of the rights had actually reverted to him as the creator "because the company Perfect Entertainment had been closed for over 10 years".
