People can play the point and click adventure in glorious HD from day one, adventuring through a variety of exotic locations: the game bursts out from Paris and London, taking the player on to stunning locations throughout Spanish Catalonia and to deepest Iraq, the birthplace of civilisation.

"We were delighted with the reception Episode One received from the games' fans." says Charles Cecil, founder, Revolution Software. "Episode Two takes the gameplay to another level - those who have already experienced Episode One will revel in the conclusion to the tale, while new gamers can enjoy the game in its entirety.

"Episode two ramps up the level of drama, as well as the difficulty level, as the game progresses: the second part starting with George and Nico having to dodge shotgun fire – with George then meeting his ultimate nemesis – a belligerent goat!

"I am extremely proud of the game and delighted that we have had the opportunity to build a direct relationship with our fans. The release of the game represents the conclusion of an amazing journey in self-funding, through the generosity of our Kickstarter backers, and to publishing the game under the Revolution brand."

At 6pm this afternoon , Broken Sword 5 – the Serpent’s Curse: Episode Two will be available for PC, Linux and Mac from Steam, GOG.com and Get Games, priced £18.99. Episode Two on PlayStation Vita, iOS and Android will be available shortly.

Furthermore, if you wish to join Revolution in celebrating the launch of the game, you can watch them live stream via Twitch at 6PM today.

In other news, the Revolution website has been updated, giving it a more modern look, with more content to come. If you're looking for the Backers Panel to retrieve some of your digital rewards, you can still login here. Revolution has stated that the process of organising and shipping physical backer rewards will begin now that the game has launched, and that they "will work as fast as possible to get you your rewards".

Finally, if you happen to be in London next Wednesday (April 23rd), then perhaps you could take the opportunity to drop in to the Apple Store on Regents St. at 7PM and meet Charles Cecil, Barrington Pheloung, and other members of the Revolution team. It's suggested you reserve a space and get there early as seating is limited.
