I suspect there are a few Broken Sword fans around here, being as, you know, the first two games are the two bestest games EVAR.
For those that don't know Broken Sword 1 & 2 were 2D point and click adventure games. Think of them as a sort of blend between the Da Vinci Code and Indiana Jones. The first game followed an American tourist in France as he was pulled into a shady modern day Templar plot and the second followed the same dude and his new journalist sidekick as they were embroiled in a plot to steal Mayan artifacts for some mystical purpose.
There were two 3D sequels in recent times but in many fans' opinions they lacked the inspiration of the originals and the move to bland 3D textures didn't capture the feel of the first games.
Anyway Revolution have been working on an as yet unannounced game, widely expected to be a new, high definition, 2D, illustrated Broken Sword.
From their forum in reference to this new project and why it wasn't at E3:

Not much to go on, I know, but it shouldn't be long before a full announcement.
I couldn't ask for more than a new 2D Broken Sword

the scope of the project has grown, and we've slipped our dates a couple of times, so it keeps being pushed back
don't worry, I promise its worth the wait, im really proud of it
