Broken Sword: The Serpent's Curse has been revealed.

The fifth game in the long-running franchise will be coming to PC, Mac, iOS and Android early next year.

It will reunite George Stobbart and Nico Collard in an all-new adventure that starts with a mysterious painting stolen in a raid from a Paris gallery.

Helmed by series developer Revolution Software, it reunites creator Charles Cecil with members of the team from the original Broken Sword games including Rolf Saxon, the original voice actor of George.

Announced through Kickstarter, for $15 players can get a digital copy of the game on release alongside a series of bonus material.

Higher categories give fans their own signed game documents, original artwork and personalised drawings, a mention in the game and an invite to a wrap-up party.

"The process of game development has previously been remote from our fans," said managing director Charles Cecil.

"By self-publishing, we now have a direct relationship with our audience - a position that we value enormously.

"We're delighted that the latest Broken Sword title is to be the first of our adventures that we can take with our fans. By pledging support now, we'll be going on a journey which will end when the opening credits roll - it's going to be excellent."

He added: "Crucially, Kickstarter support will enable us to create - for the very first time - an adventure game with total creative freedom."

The original Broken Sword recently received a Director's Cut edition on iOS and Android.

It's only a kickstarter at the moment but it'll undoubtedly get the funds. I'm gonna buy the **** out of it when it's released, I loved the Broken Sword games.

Absolutely brilliant.

Loved the first, hated the second, loved the third, and hated the fourth. Hopefully this will be good. Can't wait to play a fully 2D BS game in HD widescreen.

imo.

[_Seth]

No.


I hope that unique charm of the first is recaptured, but it probably won't be.

Omg! This is the best news I've had all year!

[Lee.]

-remembers that ****ing goat-

[Novo]

I was stuck on the goat for ages.. think it was the first time in the game i had to google to find out what to do to get past it

[Lee.]

I definitely dint have the internet at the time.... I was stuck for days! It nearly destroyed me!

[Tom4784]

The Goat didn't give me much trouble, I can remember being stuck in Syria for ages though.

[_Seth]

"Hey Billy!"
"The goat responded with a cool and penetrating stare. I hadn't felt this threatened since Khan in Paris."

God I love the dialogue. <3
