3, has sadly passed away after his battle with Covid-19. Our thoughts are with his family and loved ones at this difficult time. He starred in many hugely successful films, and he will always be immortalised in our game.
George: She's so aloof and cool. I know I we just met, but I feel like we are really connecting, and I could just talk to her about anything, and I think she feels the same way! I should make a move, something subtle, see if she's picking up what I'm throwing down-

30 years making games! Who'd have thought!
It's been such a long time since our fist adventure
#LureoftheTemptress
, and our first
#BrokenSword
. We've got so many fond memories throughout it all!
What are your first or favourite moments from one of our games? We'd love to know!
We are absolutely devastated to learn that Barrington Pheloung (
@bpheloung
) has passed away. Our deepest and most heartfelt thoughts and wishes go out to his family at this time. His music helped make Broken Sword iconic, and we have lost a dear friend.
Happy Birthday Charles and Noirin 🎂
Charles wants everyone to know that he finally did it!
It's something he's been working towards for years, but today it's finally here; his Senior Rail Card

The response to the Broken Sword 2 update has been so overwhelmingly wonderful!
There are so many complicated reasons why many 90s games can't be maintained, but we're so glad we have the privilege and means to. And a community like you all that makes it feel so rewarding 💖
@RevSoftGames
deserve big love for their continued effort keeping their classics alive. Many developers aren't able to find time to do this. In a time where older games become unplayable on modern systems, it's so nice to have a comfort game like BS2 to fall back on. Replay time!
Videogame History:
Back in the 90s we were encouraged to make separate versions of Broken Sword, targeted at the US audience.
So we made it colourful and called it "Circle of Blood"
In our defence.. We never meant for you to find out 😳
Good morning everyone! We hope you face every challenge with the fearlessness that George Stobbart has, and you'll always succeed!
