York, UK - Thursday, 19th September 2024 - Revolution Software can today confirm that the much-anticipated and long-celebrated adventure epic Broken Sword - Shadow of the Templars: Reforged is now available on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox.

First revealed back at Gamescom 2023, Broken Sword - Shadow of the Templars: Reforged represents a substantial enhancement of one of the most popular adventures of all time. The game stands as a completely revitalised and ‘reforged’ version of George and Nico’s original globe-trotting adventure, taking players from the atmospheric avenues of the French capital to the mystery-laden mountains of Syria, the sun-soaked coastline of Spain and a whole host of stunning locations in between.

Broken Sword - Shadow of the Templars: Reforged features backgrounds that have been repainted from the line art originally drawn by Don Bluth layout artists, as well as 30,000 redrawn and reanimated character sprites. The audio has also been enhanced to bring new levels of fidelity to the speech and the legendary soundtrack composed by the late great Barrington Pheloung.

Redefining adventure gameplay for the modern era, a new ‘story mode’ will dynamically balance narrative and gameplay progression to offer a stunning gameplay experience for a whole new generation of adventure fans to enjoy.

“For new fans, Broken Sword - Shadow of the Templars: Reforged offers a modern adventure, with an intriguing, thrilling, and highly rewarding journey with George and Nico,” says Charles Cecil, founder and CEO of Revolution Software. “For existing fans, this is a chance to play through this classic adventure, but with the kind of visuals and sound quality that previously existed only in our wildest ambitions.”

Revolution recently announced that the Nintendo Switch version of Broken Sword - Shadow of the Templars: Reforged will aim to launch in October.

Known for combining scripts laced with sharp wit and logical but challenging puzzles, Broken Sword is a celebrated franchise within the adventure genre, having first released on PC and PlayStation back in 1996. The original release became an instant classic, having sold half a million copies on PlayStation alone, and was voted one of the best PlayStation games ever by Official PlayStation Magazine readers. A re-released Director’s Cut of the original game went on to enjoy similar success 15 years later, amassing over 5 million downloads.

Broken Sword remains one of the genre’s most acclaimed series, featuring in top adventure game lists to this day.

In Broken Sword - Shadow of the Templars: Reforged, you will:

Step out onto the streets of Paris as American tourist George Stobbart finds himself embroiled in a mysterious journey of intrigue and jeopardy.

Enjoy a globe-spanning adventure, exploring exotic locations, solving ancient mysteries, and thwarting a dark conspiracy to reveal the secret truths of the Knights Templar.

Voyage through the game’s iconic locations illustrated in beautiful 4K (on supported formats) on PC and contemporary consoles for the first time ever.

Listen to enhanced audio as Revolution delivers the finest, most stunning version of George and Nico’s original adventure to date.

Switch between the original 1996 version of the game and the new reforged visuals at the click of a button.

Play the game the way that you want to - choose between a ‘traditional mode’ for people who enjoy adventures the way they used to be, and a ‘story mode’ for those who want subtle hints to ensure they never get frustrated

Broken Sword - Shadow of the Templars: Reforged launches digitally on PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Series X|S, and PC (Windows, macOS and Linux) today for €29.99/$29.99/£24.99. The Nintendo Switch version will aim to launch in October.


Happy Gaming!
