Broken Sword 2.5:
Return of the Templers

English Voice Pack will be Released in October

We finally did it. All voices are recorded and all files are already cut, just some of them need final adjustments. Saying this we can also announce a release day which will be the 18th October. Today is our game's second birthday, so we hope this is a little birthday present from the mindFactory team to all non German fans out there.
So stay tuned.
The website can be found Here

Oh ............. My ............... God!

This is something I've waited for for so long and had lost hope completely.

I've resisted playing with English stitles for aeeeeges!

This is the best news you've come up with for ages as far as I'm concerned hats.

Thankyou.

You are so very welcome Gelert I have been waiting and holding out for the English version also.

Just wanted to mention that the english voice pack is ready for download (171 MB) at the official site of Broken Sword 2.5 (http://www.brokensword25.com). If you had not played the game until now because of the non-english voiceovers , you no longer have an excuse not to try this wonderful piece of work.

Thanks Emmanuel

Are you supposed to download the game and install it first then add the voice pack as you would a patch? Do you know if this game is Point and Click or a combination of keyboard and mouse?

That's right . First you must download and install Broken Sword 2.5 following one of the links that you will find at the original site (www.brokensword25.com). Due to the large size of the game , approximately 700 MB , it is not hosted on the server of the official site but on several other sites around the Internet (I recommend GamersHell). After you install the game , you download the english speech pack (171 MB) , unzip it and copy the new files in the game directory , overwriting the old ones (there's no automatic installer). The english voice pack also includes all previous updates for the game so you don't need to download anything else. Note that when you first start the game , the menus will still be in german. Just click on "optionen"( which naturally means "options") and select the english language.

As for the game itself , it is practically a new fan-made episode in the "Broken Sword" series , with graphics , interface and gameplay similar to the first two games , "Shadow of the Templars" ("Circle of Blood" for Northamerican gamers) and "The Smoking Mirror". It's such a professional piece of work that could have been made by Revolution and it's completely free!

Two words ................. "Thankyou!" ......... and ................. "Brilliant!"
