The classic adventure series Broken Sword will return with the sixth game Parzival’s Stone and remaster
Classical adventure series Broken Sword after a ten -year break is preparing to return: the British Studio Revolution Software has announced work on the sixth game Broken Sword – Parzival’s Stone, as well as the full 4K -orester of the original game of The Shadow of the Tamples.
Both games are in development for consoles, mobile devices and Windows PC. Broken Sword – Shadow of the Templars: Reforged will be released in early 2024, and Parzival’s Stone – even earlier.
Parzival’s Stone will be again presented with a 3D schedule after returning to the original 2D schedule in the fifth game The Serpent’s Curse, released in 2013. However, the creator of the series Charles Cecil called the new graphic style "Super 2D", Since he is trying to recreate the appearance of original games by imposing on the 3D geometry of textures drawn by hand. The game interface will be classic for adventure games like "Indicate and click".
George and Niko will go in search of the mythical Holy Grail in Parzival’s Stone – "but not like how could you expect", The press release says. They will go to Montsegur in the south of France, the former stronghold of the Christian Cathars sect, and will resist technological entrepreneurs, government agencies and energy corporations in history, which also includes Nazi treasure hunters (but, of course, with quantum physics).
In the new version of the first game, in which George witnesses a bomb explosion in the Paris cafe and is a secret related to the knights -cloths, visual effects drawn in the style of animation films are noticeably updated – with the resolution of 640×400 pixels before the resolution of 4K redrawn resources. This grandiose task was solved with the help of the work of artists and AI, the head of Revolution Charles Cecil told Polygon that a tiny studio "I just could not afford" Sound the game will also be redone without using AI, insignificant changes to the plot and characters of the characters will be made so that they meet modern requirements, and gameplay improvements are transferred from the now available version of Director’s Cut.
According to Cecil, if the reprint of Shadow of the Templars will be successful, it will be followed by the remaster of the second game Broken Sword, The Smoking Mirror, made using the same technologies.
