Broken Sword: The Smoking Mirror sees journalist Nico Collard unexpectedly stumble across a mysterious ancient artefact. Little does she know that the ornately-carved obsidian stone will lead her, and her companion George Stobbart, into a mysterious escapade of intrigue and deceit, in which they must overcome powerful forces and antagonists who are trying to stop them. Torment and terror, sacrificial rituals, and bloody massacre is unearthed beneath a veil of Mayan mystery. Kidnap, stolen treasure, astronomy, and a deadly drug baron are the least of the duo’s worries, as divine forces threaten to annihilate mankind. Nerve, cunning and guile are essential in order to conquer this compelling adventure.
“We saw tremendous success with our first Broken Sword title, and our fans wanted more," said Charles Cecil, managing director, Revolution Software.
