Final 12 months, we had a good time with Revolution Software program’s ‘Reforged’ remaster of the traditional point-and-click journey Damaged Sword: Shadow of the Templars. “It positive could be neat if the remainder of the sequence acquired such a therapy,” we thought to ourselves, “if solely Revolution had one thing up its sleeve…”
Because it seems, it does! Or, extra precisely, it’d. Three weeks in the past, the studio launched its ‘Christmas Video 2024‘, thanking followers for his or her assist over the previous 12 months and exhibiting off a number of the recreation’s unique artwork. It is a candy video that, we’ll admit, flew beneath the radar for us just a little; however, as famous by Recreation Watcher (and dropped at our consideration by our associates over at Push Sq.), the message additionally incorporates a tease of what the long run would possibly maintain — ooh, how sneaky!
After giving thanks for the 12 months passed by, Revolution’s co-founder and designer Charles Cecil turns to at least one last piece of idea artwork: a tough drawing of our hero George Stobbart wearing the exact same summer season apparel worn in Damaged Sword II: The Smoking Mirror.
To actually hammer the purpose dwelling, Cecil examines the artwork earlier than wanting instantly down the digital camera and shrugging. What may it probably imply?
Yeah, you do not should be a detective to place these clues collectively. Damaged Sword II: The Smoking Mirror launched on PC and PlayStation 1 again in 1997 and, whereas it won’t be fairly as beloved as its predecessor, it is nonetheless a superb slice of point-and-click thriller, by all accounts. Anticipate to see it get ‘Reforged’ sooner or later sooner or later, then!
