The game was produced in cooperation with former Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) chief Daryl F. Gates, replacing former series director ex-California Highway Patrol officer Jim Walls, who left Sierra around 1991.
Open Season was well-received by critics, but underperformed compared to previous entries. An updated CD version was released in 1996. An indirect sequel and spinoff, Police Quest: SWAT, was released in 1995.
