Revolution Software has announced that Broken Sword – Shadow of the Templars: Reforged will come to the PC on September 19th. To celebrate this announcement, the team shared a new trailer that you can find below.
Broken Sword – Shadow of the Templars: Reforged is a complete remake of the original game. Players will join George and Nico on their exciting journey around the world. Players will visit the streets of Paris, the mysterious mountains of Syria, the sunny beaches of Spain, and many other beautiful places.
The devs have repainted all the backgrounds from the line art originally drawn by Don Blooth layout artists. Moreover, the sprites have been reanimated. And that’s not all. 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.
It’s also worth noting that the remake will have a new ‘story mode’. This story mode will dynamically balance narrative and gameplay progression to offer a stunning gameplay experience.
Charles Cecil, founder and CEO of Revolution Software, said:
“Point and click offers a simple interface from which captivating, challenging gameplay emerges. But the user experience has remained unchanged since the ‘90s when Broken Sword redefined the genre. Our research suggested that gamers now prefer a more contemporary experience. Broken Sword has a hugely passionate fan base, which runs over three generations. With these graphic and user experience enhancements, we look forward to hearing from fans once the game crosses over, once again, to a fourth generation who love narrative-driven games.”
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!

Finally a game for me! 😊
I was skeptical at first, but they really did good with the improved art.
Reminds me a bit of what was done for Full Throttle.
Very often, when old pixelated games are "upscaled", they lose the magic, but here, it totally works, because Broken Sword was already going for an animated look, so it lends itself perfectly for that style.
But I've got to say that the original already looked great:

Your screenshot was blurry, so I AI upscaled it.

that's exactly what I was thinking, they did a phenomenal job here.

….is a he living in Russia somewhere, using lots of emoticons and smilies to pretend he's a woman. He usually loses his cool if you say something negative about communist Russia.
Looking forward to this! Looks really nice!
i still have the OG case, one of the only game that i've been passionate about, and honestly the atmosphere and the serenity of first two games are top notch, they should expand upon it for their new broken sword, no need to change anything, just a slow methodical pace and the serene music expanding across various adventurous environments and clever out of the box puzzles.
I got all the games from the series. From the Playstation 1 pt. to the mobile versions.
Broken Sword 2 is my favourite. The humor is still funny.
Love it they dont call it remaster but "Reforged".
It sounds great, love to play it in 4K
First comment section on DSOgaming where everyone is positive about a game! I can't wait myself. Broken sword 1 was the first adventure I ever played. And I still have the original box of broken sword 2 and still remember vividly my excitement when it was gifted to me and the amazing atmospheres of its environments
it means people are not braindead trolls for no good reason. this game is a passion that many of us share.
One of the best adventure games ever
I got chills watching the trailer… Love the series, i have the originals big box of the first two. This remake looks good.
