Broken Sword fans anxiously waiting for news on developer Revolution Software's next move need wait no longer, point and click adventure legend Charles Cecil has told VideoGamer.com that an official announcement is coming in 'a month'.
Cecil, managing director of the York-based developer behind point and click adventure classics Beneath a Steel Sky and Broken Sword, remained vague on the specifics but did say that an online petition calling for a Nintendo DS remake was "really inspirational".
Rumours that Revolution have been hard at work on a Director's Cut of Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars have been rife online, especially on the studio's official forum. While Cecil declined to offer any detail on the project, he told VideoGamer.com that the DS is "an ideal platform for a point and click adventure".
We caught up with Cecil in London following the launch of Raise the Game, a £450,000 campaign which aims to drive growth and innovation in the UK games industry.
When asked directly whether Revolution was working on the DS remake the online petition calls for, Cecil replied: "I'm going to have to be really boring now and just say that the petition was really inspirational. But I'm really not allowed to say any more than that. Again I just wish that we were having this interview in about a month's time. Then you'd be asking me much more direct questions!"
When asked if he had any message to his fans, Cecil said: "Watch this space. There will be an official announcement. Not there may be, there will be an official announcement. I'm really sorry to be so vague about it but that's just the way it is."
