Game Description

Broken Sword’s PlayStation release almost didn’t happen. Charles Cecil, the game’s director, has said that original publisher Virgin Interactive had no interest in bringing it to PlayStation - “it wasn’t worth it,” they told him at the time. Cecil approached Sony directly instead, striking a deal that saw the game featured on the cover of the Official PlayStation Magazine in three regions, putting it in front of an estimated 1.6 million players.
Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars is a point-and-click adventure game developed by British studio Revolution Software and published by Sony Computer Entertainment Europe. Set across Europe and the Middle East, the game follows American tourist George Stobbart as he unravels a conspiracy rooted in the Knights Templar. This Italian release carries serial SCES-00468 and was released on 15 December 1996. Presented in a Full Jewel PAL case with no hologram, the disc contains the Italian-language version of the game. It is one of five PAL variants catalogued for Broken Sword, making this country-specific Italian pressing a worthwhile find for collectors seeking localised releases from the game’s initial European rollout.
