The Broken Sword series started in 1996 with the first game, The Shadow of the Templars. The classic quest stood out at the time with its impressive graphics — hand-drawn backgrounds and 3D objects.
Revolution Software announced that Broken Sword: Smoking Mirror: Reforged, a remaster of the second part released in 1997, will be released early next year. Platforms: PC, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S and Nintendo Switch.
Like the first remaster in the Reforged series, The Shadow of the Templars. Improved graphics, updated character animations, 4K support and clean sound of Barrington Pheloung's original music are promised.
"While investigating the activities of a ruthless drug gang, journalist Nico Collard unexpectedly stumbles upon an ancient artifact. Little did she know that this exquisitely carved obsidian stone would lead her and her adventure companion George Stobbart into a mysterious adventure of intrigue and deception, in which they will have to overcome powerful forces and antagonists who will stop at nothing to fulfill their evil ambitions," the description on Steam says.
