# Phoenix Online Publishing <small style="color: gray">Last updated: January 17, 2026</small> ## Overview Phoenix Online Publishing is the publishing division of Phoenix Online Studios, an independent game development company that grew out of the King's Quest fan game community. The label focuses on narrative-driven adventure games for Windows, macOS, and mobile platforms. ## Sierra Connection Phoenix Online Publishing has deep roots in Sierra's legacy. The studio began as the team behind *The Silver Lining*, an ambitious fan-made continuation of the King's Quest series that was eventually released with Activision's blessing in 2010. The publishing arm later partnered with legendary Sierra designer [[Designers/Jane Jensen\|Jane Jensen]] to publish her post-Sierra projects, including the Gabriel Knight 20th Anniversary Edition remake and original titles through her Pinkerton Road Studio. ## Games Published (Sierra Archive) | Year | Game | Notes | |------|------|-------| | 2012 | [[2012 - Cognition - An Erica Reed Thriller\|Cognition: An Erica Reed Thriller]] | Original Phoenix Online IP | | 2014 | [[2014 - Gabriel Knight - Sins of the Fathers – 20th Anniversary Edition\|Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers 20th Anniversary]] | Jane Jensen remake | | 2014 | [[2014 - Moebius - Empire Rising\|Moebius: Empire Rising]] | Jane Jensen original | | 2014 | [[2014 - Quest for Infamy\|Quest for Infamy]] | Published for Infamous Quests | ## Key People Phoenix Online's team includes former Sierra fan community members who transitioned to professional game development. ## Related - **Designer Partner:** [[Designers/Jane Jensen\|Jane Jensen]] - **Published Developer:** [[Publishers/Infamous Quests\|Infamous Quests]] - **Fan Project:** [[2010 - The Silver Lining\|The Silver Lining]] ## References [^ref-1]: [MobyGames - Phoenix Online Studios, LLC](https://www.mobygames.com/company/15713/phoenix-online-studios-llc/) - Company founding and history [^ref-2]: [MobyGames - Phoenix Online Publishing, LLC](https://www.mobygames.com/company/22910/phoenix-online-publishing-llc/) - Publishing arm profile [^ref-3]: [Phoenix Online Studios - About](https://www.postudios.com/company/about.php) - Company mission statement [^ref-4]: [Phoenix Online Studios - Announcing Phoenix Online Publishing](https://www.postudios.com/blog/announcing-phoenix-online-publishing-every-game-has-a-story/) - Publishing announcement [^ref-5]: [Phoenix Online Studios - 10th Anniversary](https://www.postudios.com/blog/phoenix-anniversary-summary/) - Company history celebration [^ref-6]: [Phoenix Online Studios - The Silver Lining](https://www.postudios.com/company/games/thesilverlining/index.php) - King's Quest fan game [^ref-7]: [Phoenix Online Studios - Cognition](https://www.postudios.com/company/games/cognition/index.php) - First commercial game [^ref-8]: [Phoenix Online Studios - Quest for Infamy](http://www.postudios.com/company/games/questforinfamy/index.php) - Published RPG [^ref-9]: [Phoenix Online Studios - The Last Door](https://www.postudios.com/company/games/lastdoor/index.php) - Horror adventure [^ref-10]: [Wikipedia - Category:Phoenix Online Studios games](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Phoenix_Online_Studios_games) - Published games [^ref-11]: [Engadget - Moebius: Empire Rising](https://www.engadget.com/2014-02-25-moebius-empire-rising-out-april-15-from-phoenix-online-publishi.html) - Jane Jensen partnership [^ref-12]: [Facebook - Phoenix Online Studios](https://www.facebook.com/PhoenixOnlineStudios/) - Official social media [^ref-13]: [Game Companies - Phoenix Online Studios](https://gamecompanies.com/companies/phoenix-online-studios) - Company profile [^ref-14]: [Phoenix Online Studios Forum](https://www.postudios.com/blog/forum/index.php?topic=17932.0) - Community discussion [^ref-15]: [Phoenix Online Studios - Projects](http://www.postudios.com/company/projects.php) - Current releases
