Broken Sword - Parvizal’s Stone announced, Broken Sword 1 remake also in development
TechRadar Gaming is reporting live from Gamescom 2023 on the latest and greatest developments in gaming and hardware.
Years after the release of its last installment, Broken Sword is back in full force — with a remake of Broken Sword 1 in development, as well as the sixth title in the series, Broken Sword — Parzival's Stone.
Developed by Revolution Software, the first title in the point-and-click adventure series,Broken Sword — The Shadow of the Templars (or Circle of Blood in the United States) released all the way back in 1996 on PC, Mac, and PlayStation. All these years later, it’s being given new life in a modern-day remake, and while no new content is being added to it, Charles Cecil — the co-founder of Revolution Software — tells TRG that other valuable improvements will be made.
For a start, the remake (titled Broken Sword — The Shadow of the Templars: Reforged) aims to stick to the original game’s “traditional hand-drawn” art style. As well as a whole host of bug fixes (Cecil admits that the original release “was done quickly”), veteran fans can look forward to experiencing some lines of dialogue and animations that were made for the original title but never used.
