HAPPY HALLOWEEN And oh boy do we have treats for you! Let's get right to it: TRADING CARDS You asked and we delivered: Trading Cards are now live! To give them something truly special and personal, they are largely made up of never-before-seen concept art.

- PATCH #2 - 7 August 2020
WHAT WE FIXED: GAMEPLAY H4CK 4LL 7H3 7H1N95 Ever messed around in Piazza and had a robot run off with your precious data? Well no more! You can now reset MINOS circuits in Piazza. No more lurking at the vending machine to get your data back! WAIT HOW DO YOU KNOW ALL THAT? Foster knew too much. He now knows less. HINT LOGIC IN APARTMENTS The engine now has a better understanding of what the player is thinking HUNTING FOR CLUES IN APARTMENTS ..or as its referred to internally: "Loz's Crazy Palace of Code" We realized the puzzle was a little strict, and the game now lets you discover things in more than just one order. WHAT COSTUME SHALL THE POOR BOY WEAR At some point during the game, Foster would just wear something completely different for no apparent reason. Unless of course someone had put a space at the end of the costume name the engine tried to reference. That would then lead to we…

- PATCH #1 - 22 July 2020
WHAT WE FIXED: 4YR - U BEING SO DIFFICULT Right in the beginning of the game 4YR used to get stuck and there was no way to get around this. This has now been fixed, including in existing gamesaves - so no need to start over! Why did this happen: Every character has a floor angle they can travel on, and 4YR’s was set to 0. When 4YR experienced anything more than 0 he got anxious and told Unreal Engine that he was, in fact, currently falling. And Unreal Engine was very understanding and worried about him and chose to wait… and wait… and wait.. And wait.. UE4: are you- 4YR: nope still falling Unreal:... 4YR: …. We added a little more angle and now he understands what the floor is again. Also: We also noticed that you could offer 4YR something from your inventory while he was (spoiler) hanging in the air and it would set him FLYING. Distracting 4YR like this is very rude since he’s clearly…
- Beyond A Steel Sky's hacker tool is the best toy ever - 17 July 2020
Beyond A Steel Sky is a 3D point-and-click adventure game which is the sequel to 1994’s 2D point-and-click-adventure game Beneath A Steel Sky. It doesn’t matter if you didn’t play the first one, although some knowledge is helpful. You play as Robert Foster, returning to a futuristic city-state he freed from an evil AI ten years ago, because new bad things are afoot (these involving kidnapping children from the land outside the city). You have to infiltrate the city, team up with your robot pal Joey, and save the day. In its final form, this is looking a lot better than when I previewed it – the animation bugs are gone, and there’s a new layer of polish on everything. But that is not what I want to talk about. Very early on in the game, a precocious child gives you a hacker tool to help with the whole saving the day thing. It is amazing. It is ostensibly to solve…

- Beyond A Steel Sky continues the adventure game series after 26 years - 16 July 2020
In 1994, Revolution Software released their second game, a dystopian adventure game named Beneath A Steel Sky. Then they mostly made Broken Sword games for the next 20 years. Today, Revolution finally return to that ferrous firmament with the launch of a sequel, Beyond A Steel Sky . It’ll send us into an AI-controlled megacity to rescue an abducted child and definitely not get tangled in any sort of sci-fi conspiracy. Come see some of that in the launch trailer below. (more…)
- 2020 Here we come! - 3 January 2020
Firstly, Happy New Year one and all! 2019 was a fantastic year for Revolution, and we're unbelievably excited to bring on 2020. It won't be long until we have a lot more launch information for Beyond a Steel Sky - where it'll be available and when it'll be released, and we're absolutely thrilled you'll be able to enjoy it soon. What better way to approach Revolution's 30th Birthday! The Studio is now kicking into final gear as we approach the finishing line. There are still a few things to wrap up and decide upon, but we cannot wait for you all to share the journey with us to launch. In Charles' Christmas Message this year we also hinted at a new project that we hope to talk more about towards the end of 2020, so it's never been a better time to keep an eye on what we're doing going forward. For now, however, we wish you all the best for the New Year and hope your 2020 will be full of g…
