Man, the fifth Broken Sword game... it seemed not too long ago I was playing Broken Sword: The Sleeping Dragon, and impressed that this small but beloved adventure franchise had been able to make a third game. Now thanks to Kickstarter, the series was funded last year for a fifth outing, and the day of release is almost upon us.

The PC will recieve the first episode of the game on December 4th with both Android and iOS to follow suit. It seems one of the hangups is that while it is easy to send an Android version of the game to all those who donated at the tier to receive one, Apple doesn't make things as easy, and Revolution have not found a way to distribute it yet.

This is a minor setback however, and adventure fans will get a new dose of Broken Sword before the end of the year, with the second episode planned for release in January.

If you'd like a primer on what the game will look like, and an idea of the story, have a watch of the original Kickstarter video from last year!
