What a great honor for a great series!

See previous post on the 25th Anniversary issue.

Quote:
London, 3rd February 2016, Today Revolution Software received confirmation from the Guinness World Records®, the global authority on record breaking, that Broken Sword franchise now holds the Record for the “Longest running graphic adventure protagonist”.

Since starring in 1996 debut Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars, US lawyer cum adventurer George Stobbart and French journalist Nicole "Nico" Collard have appeared in all four sequels of Revolution’s cult point-and-click series. The most recent release was the PS4 and Xbox One versions of Broken Sword 5: The Serpent’s Curse in September 2015.

“We are incredibly honoured to receive this award on behalf of George and Nico. They are friends who have grown up with us through thick and thin: they are embedded in the Revolution history. And we are celebrating the 25th Anniversary of Revolution this year and so the award could not be better timed!” said Charles Cecil, Founder & CEO of Revolution

Stephen Daultrey, Editor of the Guinness World Records Gamer’s Edition said “Broken Sword is a series that I first played and loved as a kid so the fact that it’s still going strong today is testament to the brilliant storytelling and characters that it’s revered for. It’s a real honour to recognise the games’ iconic leading protagonists with a Guinness World Records title for their enduring popularity and ability to stand the test of time.”

The achievement will also be recognised in the next edition of the Guinness World Records Gamer’s Edition 2017.

Revolution has just announced the release of Revolution: the 25 th Anniversary Collection box set on 11th March 2016, exclusively on PC, which will contain all its games, as well as extensive physical and digital collectables.


Happy Gaming!

Does Tex Murphy not count?
Tex Murphy: Mean Streets was published in 1989.

Or is this award only for franchises still held by the original publishers?
Tex Murphy's publisher (Access Software) was assimulated by Microsoft and is no more.
Tex Murphy: Tesla Effect is from Big Finish.

I actually thought King Graham of King's Quest would be the longest running protagonist. Still great news for Broken Sword, though. smile
