A new Broken Sword game has been announced aswell as Shadow of the Templars - Reforged.

I'm really excited about a new game and happy that Revolution Software is still active.

Any fans of the series here?

Played Broken Sword 5: The Serpent's Curse a year or so ago, ngl I had to use a guide lol.

The art was gorgeous, will check this one out too.

5 was meh.

Only the first one is a masterpiece, then the quality decreased exponentially, touching bottom with the passage to 3D and the crate "puzzles".

 

[Lucifers Beard]

Excellent news. Loved the first two games and will grab the reforged version day one. Not sure about the art style for the new chapter, should have stuck with the original style.

 

[Red5]

I was just thinking about a new one an hour ago. Loved the series and point and click adventures in general, wish we could get a new Gabriel Knight too.

I love the series. Great memories from my early teens. Will buy for certain.

Bs 1 and 2 were briliant, also enjoyed 5

 

[Brigandier]

Absolutely loved BS1 and I liked the second aswell but 3 and 4 were meh, I found the first half of 5 really good then it went downhill, Can tell they didn't quite get the funds needed with the Kickstarter.

Not sure why BS1 needs remastering?? A little odd but I'm in!!!

I hope Rolf Saxon comes back for BS6 it didn't sound like it

 

[mopspear]

I got excited but then I remembered I like MAGIC Sword. This happens all the time to me.

 

[AeonGaidenRaiden]

Loved the classics, played first on PS1 then on PC later on. BTW another franchise that is very similar to BS and actually is very good that you should check out is Runaway series.

 

[whyman]

Very good news! Can’t wait to play both!

 

[damidu]

hell yeah, i liked the last one too

 

[Jeff Spicoli]

Great news

 

[Dr. Suchong]

Great news!
Absolutely love George Stobbart.
Can't wait for his dry wit again.
I hope they remaster 2 also.
That was my personal favourite.

I was mesmerized by the director's cut of the first Broken Sword on my android phone about 9 years ago. Enjoyed the 2nd one. Even got to try the 3D PS2 game but couldn't finish that(still on my list). Had fun with Serpent's curse(5th game). And have been occasionally wondering about the next installment and here it is!.

I'm in.

OMFG! My absolute favorite franchise, I'm in 7th heaven, Thank you Charles Cecil and the powers that be. HOLY MOLY SHIT MEGATON MONDAY!!!

 

[emivita]

I hope they remaster 2 also.
That was my personal favourite.

While 1 is the best game overall and the most universally appreciated, I have a weak spot for 2 and is my personal favourite too for a number of reasons.

Broken fucking Sword 6? I'm in.

 

[negator2vc]

Another remaster of BS1?? Seriously!!??
After the mediocre (at best) Director's Cut version they want another "new" version of the original??
BS1 was excellent in the original version.

As for the new game the visual style chosen is bad and distracting.
They should have gone with either Longest Journey style with 2D prerendered backgrounds + 3D character combo or full 3D like in Syberia 4.

 

[The Cockatrice]

5 was meh.

nah

1,2,5 > the rest but i liked all

 

[barslan]

I love all Broken Sword games. So, this is very good news for me. Can't wait!

Agree with this.

 

[KaiserBecks]

I wish they’d remaster the 2nd one as well. I’ve played the first one countless times but I also really enjoyed part 2. Really glad to see the series is still alive. Good memories playing this on PSX.

 

[bosnianpie]

I love the series. Great memories from my early teens. Will buy for certain.

It's just something special with games like Broken Sword, Oddworld etc. It reminds me of how diverse the industry used to be. It feels like the whole AA-A tier is almost lost. Maybe I'm wrong.

 

[marcincz]

Great news. Few weeks ago finished 5th part, which was very good adventure game.

 

[TGO]

Stop that! stop that at once!

 

[AlteredForms]

Revolution went radio silent after their sequel to Beneath A Steel Sky absolutely crashed and burned upon release. I'm glad to see them still around and attempting to revive the Broken Sword franchise. I liked the 3D games in the series.

 

[drganon]

This is some cool news. The broken sword series is awesome.

 

[ShadowNate]

I am interested in the new sequel.
Not so much in the remaster of the original.

[mdkirby]

Brings back memories…played poker with Charles Cecil once many years ago when I used to dabble in the industry. With theyd return to 2D tho, they’ve never quite gotten the 3d right on their stuff, and this new one looks to suffer from similar issues. I’ll still play it tho.

 

[Mr Hyde]

Day fucking one.

[Randall365]

Did Dan Brown ever pay them royalties? He was nothing until he ripped off Broken Sword.

Broken Sword seems like a better title for Breath of the Wild.

So how to we preorder this Collectors Edition?

I believe the Kickstarter and late pledges are over now, unfortunately.
