Broken Sword - The Smoking Mirror: Reforged Announced for Nintendo Switch, Arriving Early 2026

Revolution Software has revealed an upgraded edition of 'Broken Sword - The Smoking Mirror,' the second game in the beloved adventure series. This enhanced title is slated for release on Nintendo Switch and other systems in early 2026, building upon the successful 2024 launch of 'Shadow of the Templars: Reforged.'

Fans can anticipate a host of improvements in this new version, including stunning 4K visuals, which could potentially offer a free upgrade for future Switch 2 owners. The game also incorporates the ability to switch between the original 1997 graphics and the new 'reforged' visuals, alongside a 'traditional mode' for challenging puzzles and a 'story mode' for those who prefer assistance. The narrative continues six months after the first game, with protagonists George Stobbart and Nico Collard embarking on a global adventure, from Paris to the Caribbean and Central America, to uncover a dangerous conspiracy linked to an ancient Mayan stone tablet.

While the wait for 'The Smoking Mirror: Reforged' extends into next year, eager players can delve into 'Shadow of the Templars: Reforged' in the interim. This upcoming release offers both a trip down memory lane for long-time enthusiasts and a fresh, accessible experience for newcomers, promising to captivate players with its rich storyline and engaging puzzles, thus ensuring the legacy of this cherished series endures and finds new audiences across generations.
