'Thank You So Much': Broken Sword 2 PS5 Remaster Reaches Kickstarter Funding Goal in Under 15 Minutes 1

One of the adventure genre's forefathers, Broken Sword, is on its way back to PS5.

Broken Sword: The Smoking Mirror, the second game in the series, is getting the 'Reforged' treatment, remastering an absolute classic adventure for modern systems.

The project went live on Kickstarter recently, but it took almost no time for developer Revolution Software to achieve its funding goal. In fact, it met its base funding target in less than 15 minutes.

The initial target was £50,000, and the crowdfunding total so far (at the time of writing) sits at £310,967 — and that's with 27 days to go.

"Thank you so much for the extraordinary support that you have given us for this project in such a short time," writes studio co-founder and director Charles Cecil. "It is a huge privilege that you show so much confidence in us. Your passion for our games makes us really proud. We promise to reward you with really great games now and going forward."

Revolution Software has previously brought us Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars Reforged, which was received very well. We expect the follow-up will be of just as high a quality.

It's not clear exactly when the game will be complete, but it should be one worth waiting for.
