Little was released regarding story line, interface, et cetera, although there was speculation that the game would introduce a multiplayer aspect.

Due to poor sales of Grim Fandango, a high-profile adventure game by LucasArts, there was a perception that humorous adventure games were no longer viable, so when Vivendi took over Sierra, Space Quest VII was cancelled.
