For those who might not be familiar with Broken Sword 5: The Serpent’s Curse the premise is below:

”Paris in the spring. Shots ring out from a gallery. A robbery – a murder – and the beginning of another epic original Broken Sword adventure. An adventure that will hurl intrepid lawyer George Stobbart and sassy journalist Nico Collard onto the trail of a murderous conspiracy whose roots lie in mysteries older than the written word. Armed only with logic, integrity and a wry sense of humor - can George and Nico outwit evil forces both ancient and modern and save mankind from disaster?”

This enhanced edition also features a re-imagined user interface designed to take full advantage of Nintendo Switch’s functionality, allowing players to seamlessly switch between Joy-Con and touchscreen play.

Mixing cerebral puzzling, sharp wit, with historical authenticity and intrigue, Broken Sword 5 - The Serpent’s Curse has secured its place as a favorite with fans of the series, whilst also winning over a new generation of players.

“The Nintendo Switch is an ideal console for both portable and home gaming, and we are hugely excited to be bringing Broken Sword 5 - The Serpent’s Curse to the platform,” said Charles Cecil, Founder, and CEO of Revolution Software. “When we decided to work on a Nintendo Switch version, key to our plans was making the absolute most out of the innovative hardware, and that means exclusive content and controls.
