Revolution Software has revealed that Broken Sword – The Smoking Mirror: Reforged is in development for Nintendo Switch.
Pitched as “a faithful reimagining of the second game in the beloved and multi-award-winning adventure series,” it follows on from the success of 2024’s Broken Sword – Shadow of the Templars: Reforged.
“The Smoking Mirror has always been one of our most loved games, and with Reforged we were able to enhance it in ways that respect the original while making it shine for modern audiences,” explains Revolution Software CEO Charles Cecil. “Just as with the first game, we can’t wait for players old and new to experience it again.”
The developer has outlined the game’s key features, which include:
- Step into the shoes of American tourist George Stobbart and sharp-witted French journalist Nico Collard as they unravel a deadly Mayan conspiracy steeped in ancient artifacts and dark magic.
- Travel across Europe, the Caribbean, and Central America, solving puzzles, outsmarting enemies, and piecing together the mystery behind the terrifying “Smoking Mirror”.
- Experience the game’s iconic locations, illustrated in beautiful high definition, coupled with crisp audio for the first time.
- Switch between the original 1997 version of the game and the new reforged visuals at the click of a button.
- Play the game the way that you want to – choose between a ‘traditional mode’ for people who enjoy adventures the way they used to be, and a ‘story mode’ for those who want subtle hints to ensure they never get frustrated.
Broken Sword – The Smoking Mirror: Reforged will be released digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch worldwide in early 2026.
