Broken Sword: The Sleeping Dragon is the third installment in
the Broken Sword series of computer games, and was released on
November 17, 2003.
George and Nico return in the third Broken Sword game, released
in October 2003 by THQ (Europe) and The Adventure Company (North
America). This time the game is 3D (though the camera does not
rotate, as in Resident Evil games), unlike the two previous games
which are traditional 2D point-and-click games. The Knights Templar
return in another globetrotting adventure, taking the protagonists
to Glastonbury, Paris, Cairo, Prague and the Congo.
Rolf Saxon leads the cast, reprising his role as George, and Sarah
Crook takes on the role of Nicole Collard.
It was released as Les Chevaliers de Baphomet: Le manuscrit de
Voynich in France, Baphomets Fluch: Der schlafende Drache in Germany,
Broken Sword: Il sonno del drago in Italy and Broken Sword: El
sueño del dragón in Spain.
Ports of Broken Sword: The Sleeping Dragon were released on Microsoft
Xbox and Sony PlayStation 2 platforms, however, the PlayStation
2 version can only be found in Europe. Revolution's director Charles
Cecil stated in an interview that the development costs of the
third Broken Sword game was £2 million.
