Beneath A Steel Sky 2 confirmed

CVG has just revealed that Revolution is developing a sequel to the classic dystopian sci-fi adventure Beneath a Steel Sky.

Revolution, best known for its highly respected and successful Broken Sword series, registered the url http://www.steel-sky2.com (see here for details) and Revolution MD Charles Cecil today confirmed with us that pre-production on the title had indeed begun.

"Beneath a Steel Sky is a game that is still widely respected and we are

regularly asked when we will write the sequel," Cecil told us. "Beneath A Steel Sky 2 is a project Revolution has been considering for a while, and has stated to move forward on, but we are unable to comment beyond this."

Following the release of Broken Sword: The Sleeping Dragon, the developers at Revolution have been working on their new project since December. Given the early stage of development the game is at, we're unlikely to hear much more details in the near future. However, the confirmation comes as good news for the adventure genre, particularly in the wake of Sam & Max 2's cancellation.

First released in 1994, Beneath a Steel Sky is set in an Orwellian world of repression and class divide. You play Robert Foster, a man in search for his father, his name and his identity. The game was made freeware last year and can be downloaded along with the ScummVM emulator, which makes it run smoothly on modern computers.
