Rokky teams up with Revolution Software to bring Broken Sword franchise to China
Game distributor Rokky has announced a co-publishing partnership with Revolution Software to bring the Broken Sword franchise to the Chinese market. The partnership will see two remastered titles released in the region this year: Broken Sword - Shadow of the Templars: Reforged and a remaster of The Smoking Mirror.
Under the agreement, Rokky will handle marketing, translation, localization, influencer outreach, and community management for both titles in China. The games will be available in both simplified and traditional Chinese, ensuring accessibility across the region’s diverse Chinese-speaking populations.
The remastered versions feature significant visual and audio enhancements, including completely redrawn backgrounds, over 30,000 reanimated character sprites, and enhanced audio production. These improvements modernize the classic point-and-click adventure games while preserving their original design and gameplay.
This partnership represents an important step for Revolution Software in expanding its classic adventure franchise into the Chinese gaming market. Rokky’s expertise in regional distribution and localization will be crucial in bringing these beloved titles to Chinese gamers.
