Press Release
Broken Sword β The Sleeping Dragon "β¦.the near perfect script is delivered with humour and subtlety by a brilliant cast.
The magnificent facial animation system says as much as the dialogue, adding nuance to the simplest of lines. In terms of narrative-led video gaming it is leagues above anything else in recent times" - Edge, Issue 131 (9/10)Broken Sword β The Sleeping Dragon is Revolutionβs most ambitous project to date. The idea was first discussed back in 2000 and it was clear from the start that the game would have to be both bold and radical to be a worthy successor to its forebear, Broken Sword β The Shadow of the Templars. To this end, BS-TSD represents a mix of old and new. Central to Broken Sword are the themes of conspiracy, historical mystery and, of course, George and Nico and an epic quest for justice. From the beginning, Revolutionβs goal was to introduce Broken Sword, and adventure gaming, to as many players as possible. To do this we have developed a game that will exploit the capabilities of both modern PCβs and consoles. Recognising that half of all BS1 and BS2 players were PSOne gamers, BS-TSD is fully optimised in terms of graphics and interface for PC, PSTwo and XBOX.
BS-TSD recently released in Russian language and will soon be launched, with localised text, in Japan.
