Revolution takes Broken Sword 5 to Kickstarter

Fifth entry in the storied adventure game series coming with the help of crowdfunding

Revolution Software has launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund development of a new Broken Sword title.
Broken Sword: The Serpent’s Curse will be the fifth title in the storied series, reuniting George Stobbart and Nico Collard.

The developer is looking for $400,000, which is it says will give it “full creative freedom” and the chance to reward donors. At the time of writing, the campaign has received $40,076 from 853 backers.
“The process of game development has previously been remote from our fans,” said Charles Cecil, managing director of Revolution Software.
“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.”
