Variety reported that an adaptation of the beloved adventure game series is actively in the works, with writer Evan Spiliotopoulos penning the script. Spiliotopoulos is best known for writing the live-action Beauty and the Beast film and the GI Joe spin-off, Snake Eyes. As of right now, there's no director attached to the project, but franchise creator Charles Cecil is onboard to produce the film.

Details are scarce on what elements and specific games are being adapted for the film, but it is an exciting prospect nonetheless. Broken Sword is a staple in the adventure game genre, following an American lawyer and a French journalist uncovering mysteries and conspiracies. A Broken Sword 6 was announced back in 2023 , but things have been relatively quiet on it since then. More recently, a Kickstarer for Broken Sword Smoking Mirror: Reforged - Collector's Edition raised an impressive £743,138 from 4,833 backers, having set a goal of just £50,000 goal.

Story Kitchen co-founders Dmitri M. Johnson and Michael Lawrence Goldberg issued a joint statement expressing their vision for the Broken Sword movie, promising to work closely with the creators of the games to bring it to life.

“Very few franchises of this era have stayed relevant, premium, and loyal to the intelligence of their audience. Broken Sword has done all three,” they said. “Our work here isn’t to adapt a game into a film. It’s to move a world that has been building for three decades into the next medium it deserves, working hand-in-hand with the people who built it.”
