Revolution Software has confirmed that the fifth installment in the Broken Sword series, Broken Sword: The Serpent’s Curse, is planned for a late 2013 release.

A spokesperson for the developer stated that, “At this moment we aim to finish the game before the end of the year. We really don’t want to give a date and then miss it. Once we are absolutely confident of the date then we will let you know! More than anything we don’t want to release the game before it’s finished and polished…even if that means releasing it a bit later than we originally planned.”

Broken Sword: The Serpent’s Curse is a point and click action game. Like the previous entries in the series, gamers will, from a third person perspective, control a two dimensional character and navigate him through a series of logical puzzles.

Broken Sword: The Serpent’s Curse is slated to release across Microsoft Windows, OSX, Linux, iOS, Android, and PlayStation Vita.

Revolution Software has announced that the next game in the Broken Sword series, namely The Serpent’s Curse which was funded through a Kickstarter campaign is “approaching alpha” and will be releasing for PC by the end of 2013.

The developer has noted that list for tasks for the alpha test on its official blog, along with noting the current status. Each scene on the critical path has been implemented, with fully accessible game areas and all key artwork has been implemented. There is limited facial and speech animation, with placeholder art on the menus, titles and options screens though.

However, the game is relatively free from bugs that would halt player progress, and menu screens, hints and the save system are all working. All that’s left is some polish, polish and more polish after implementing the final art for some screens. We’ll get to know whether it’s all worth it when Broken Sword: The Serpent’s Curse releases by year end.

Beneath a Steel Sky 2 Announced by Revolution Software

Revolution Software had begun a Kickstarter for the next Broken Sword. Initially set for $400K, the Kickstarter went above and beyond this goal, which lead to the UK develoer to promise a sequel to 1994 adventure game Beneath a Steel Sky if it had reached $1 mil.

Despite reaching $800k, Revolution co-founder Tony Warriner decided that the huge success of its Kickstarter has inspired the studio to begin work on Beneath a Steel Sky 2 anyway. Development will start after the release of Broken Sword.

Warriner states, “We’re delighted by the recent level of interest in a sequel to Beneath a Steel Sky and are currently discussing design ideas for this project which we plan to go into development following the release of Broken Sword – The Serpent’s Curse. We’re deeply touched that our Steel Sky fans are as enthusiastic today as they were when the original game released in 1994.”

Beneath a Steel Sky 2 is slated for iOS, Android, PC, Linux and Mac OS X. A console release is being looked into by Revolution.
