It was only a year ago almost to the day I shared my impressions regarding the original Broken Sword Reforged in all its 4K graphical glory, and yet now here we are again with the new announcement that Broken Sword The Smoking Mirror will also receive the same “Reforged” treatment!
This has been the hope of many point and click adventure fans since the original Broken Sword Reforged was released, that the sequel would also undergo the same lavish 4K treatment, while remaining faithful to the original story and assets. There will also be a “Collector’s Edition” for those who would like a physical copy of the game and there is a Steam page where you can also register your interest by adding to your own wishlist.
โBroken Sword – The Smoking Mirror: Reforgedโ is an extensively enhanced version of the multi-award winning, all-time classic game.

Little can she know that the ornately carved obsidian stone will lead her, and her adventuring companion George Stobbart, into a mysterious escapade of intrigue and deceit, in which they must overcome powerful forces and antagonists who will stop at nothing to fulfil their evil ambitions.
Torment and terror, sacrificial rituals, and bloody massacre is unearthed beneath a veil of Mayan mystery. Kidnap, stolen treasure, astronomy, and deadly drug baron are the least of the duoโs worries, as divine forces threaten to annihilate mankind!
