Revolution Software, the developer that brought us the fantastic Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars Reforged in September of last year, has teased a remaster of the series' second game, Broken Sword 2: The Smoking Mirror.
The tease was part of a Christmas message video from Revolution Software, which seems to have passed just about everyone by — including ourselves. Thankfully, GameWatcher happened to spot said tease and spread the word.
Near the end of the video, co-founder and designer Charles Cecil is looking through some old Broken Sword concept art, and comes across a drawing of protagonist George Stobbart wearing a specific, summery outfit from Broken Sword 2 — the one with sunglasses and shorts.
Cecil then raises his eyebrows and shrugs to the camera, in a not-so-subtle nod to anyone who's familiar with the second game. It's fair to assume that another remaster is happening.
Obviously there's no timeline on this supposed remaster yet, but we're sure Revolution Software will drop an announcement when it's ready. Until then, let us know if you're ready for more Broken Sword mysteries in the comments section below.

I noticed it lol. Platinumed Reforged and replaying BS3 on PC at the moment in 4K!
It would be great to see a Broken Sword 2 remaster. I get why Broken Sword 1 is the fan-favourite, but Broken Sword 2 is my personal favourite of the series. 2 has a lot of varied and interesting locations, and memorable moments.
Oh my days!!! Thank you Revolution I love you ❤️ Reforged is sooooooo good
The franchise that introduced me to a genre on the PS1 which I ended up loving. Day one.
Fantastic news. I'm literally just playing the end of the first right now.
Edit: competed! And missed 3 trophies :')
Down for this day 1.
Yes please! Day 1 for me. My memory is hazier on the 2nd as opposed to the 1st (which I've played over 10 times) so would love to dive in again
God I have been praying that Revolution would remake Broken Sword 2 as well! One of my favourite games of all time.
I played Broken Sword 2 first, and I don't know if that's why it's my favourite of the first two, but considering they had a successful Kickstarter for the first one it was only a matter of time, surely. Yay!
Oh yeah, I remember being winning my Broken Sword PS1 game from a magazine, official playstation magazine perhaps.
Not sure if it was the feeling the ending felt a bit rushed but liked the first game a tad more. That said,some spooky moments & death around the corner in this! And loads better than when publishers turned on point & clicks & forced 3d elements like moving crates to gain a wider audience. (Before the likes of Uncharted came along at least).
Just be careful opening chests in attics of dotty old ladies!👻
