Beneath a Steel Sky 2 confirmed

Revolution Software has announced that a Beneath a Steel Sky sequel is officially a thing that’s actually going to happen. You know it’s important because it’s in bold text, but in case you missed it the first time around, let’s see that again in happy kitty format:

Beneath a Steel Sky 2 is officially a thing that’s actually happening!

Earlier this month, the developer added Beneath a Steel Sky 2 as an incentive for their Broken Sword: The Serpent’s Curse Kickstarter campaign, promising to make the game if the fund drive hit US$1 million. Although the final cash heap was some $200,000 short of that, they’re going ahead and doing it anyway, just because.

“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 – The Serpent’s Curse,” Revolution co-founder Tony Warriner told Develop.

“We’re deeply touched that our Steel Sky fans are as enthusiastic today as they were when the original game released in 1994.”

The sequel is apparently tentatively scheduled for iOS, Android, PC, Linux, and Mac, with console versions also a possibility.

Broken Sword is expected to ship in April 2013, which means it’s just six or seven months until Beneath a Steel Sky 2 is really, really real.
