===2012–present: ''Broken Sword 5: The Serpent's Curse'', ''Beyond a Steel Sky'' and ''Broken Sword 6'' ideas=== On 25 July 2012, Charles Cecil posted on his personal Facebook account: "Totally focused on the announce video for our next game. I am thrilled by how it's looking, and can't wait to talk publicly, but completing the video for end of the month – as originally promised – now seems somewhat ambitious."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151107917725126&set=a.10150472548255126.423654.577415125&type=1 |title=Charles Cecil hints at new game.}}</ref> After a short delay, the game was officially announced to be a fifth entry in the series: ''[[Broken Sword 5: The Serpent's Curse]]''.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151372199258858&set=a.10151248408043858.568664.127239338857&type=1 |title=Broken Sword 5 announcement.}}</ref> The game was announced with a [[Kickstarter]] campaign and a video, showing some of the game's graphics and hinting at its storyline.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/165500047/broken-sword-the-serpents-curse-adventure |title=Broken Sword 5 Kickstarter, with video.}}</ref> After the release of ''Beneath a Steel Sky – Remastered'', Charles Cecil and Dave Gibbons stated that a sequel could be likely and that iPhone would be the ideal platform.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.pocketgamer.co.uk/r/iPhone/Beneath+A+Steel+Sky%3A+Remastered/news.asp?c=16007 |title=Beneath a Steel Sky 2 |publisher=Pocket Gamer}}</ref> During the ''Broken Sword 5'' crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter, the company originally put ''Beneath a Steel Sky 2'' as a $1,000,000 bonus stretch goal if the new Broken Sword game raises enough money, but it only raised $820,000 (including [[PayPal]] donations). On 24 September 2012, after failing to reach the bonus stretch goal, the company's co-founder Tony Warriner said that "after the huge success of the ''Broken Sword 5'' crowdfunding campaign on Kickstater, it inspired us to begin work on ''Beneath a Steel Sky 2''. Development of the sequel will begin after the release of ''Broken Sword 5''. We're delighted by the recent level of interest in a sequel to ''Beneath a Steel Sky'' and are currently discussing design ideas for this project which we plan to go into development following the release of ''Broken Sword 5''. We're deeply touched that our ''Beneath a Steel Sky'' fans are as enthusiastic today as they were when the original game released in 1994." ''Beneath a Steel Sky 2'' is to be developed for iOS, Android, PC, Linux and OS X. There is also a possibility in looking into a console version release.<ref name="BASS2">{{cite web |first=Craig |last=Chapple |url=http://www.develop-online.net/news/42048/Revolution-greenlights-Beneath-a-Steel-Sky-2 |title=Revolution greenlights Beneath a Steel Sky 2 |date=24 September 2012 |work=[[Develop (UK magazine)|Develop]] |publisher=Intent Media |access-date=16 October 2012}}</ref> In a September 2015 interview, Cecil announced that he was working on a story for ''Broken Sword 6'' which would involve the main characters travelling to Germany.<ref>{{cite news |last=Caballero |first=David |date=15 September 2015 |title=Charles Cecil: "Broken Sword 6 will be great" |url=http://www.gamereactor.eu/news/340643/Charles+Cecil+Broken+Sword+6+will+be+great/ |work=GameReactor Germany |publisher= Gamez Publishing A/S |access-date=17 June 2020 }}</ref> In a later interview from April 2020, however, Cecil said he was "mulling around" ideas for ''Broken Sword 6'', while his focus seemed to be still on ''[[Beyond a Steel Sky]]'', though he did not exclude the idea that the next ''Broken Sword'' game may follow the company's present project.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.playdiaries.com/charles-cecil-beyond-a-steel-sky-interview/ |title=The Long Talk: Beyond A Steel Sky's Charles Cecil on friendship and happiness |last=Cullen |first=Johnny |date=17 April 2020 |website=Play Diaries |access-date=26 June 2020 }}</ref> Towards the end of 2023, Revolution announced<ref>{{Citation |title=Broken Sword Parzival's Stone {{!}} Shadow of the Templars: Reforged {{!}} Xbox Showcase - Gamescom 2023 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_s5p_rBIjE |access-date=2024-01-06 |language=en}}</ref> that a sixth instalment of ''Broken Sword'' was in development, titled ''Broken Sword: Parzival's Stone'', which is scheduled for release in 2024.
