Broken Sword 5: The Serpent's Curse - Episode One launching today on PS Vita

The first episode of Broken Sword 5: The Serpent's Curse, the latest entry in the classic point-and-click adventure series from Revolution Software, is launching today on PlayStation Vita in North America, the studio announced on the PlayStation Blog.

Revolution Software originally announced its plans for a PS Vita version last summer. The first episode debuted on Linux, Mac and Windows PC in December. The PS Vita version of the game was also released that month, but only in Europe; the episode is just making its way across the pond today. Episode One launched on Android and iOS earlier this year, and the second and final episode arrived on PC last month.

Broken Sword 5 began as a Kickstarter project in the summer of 2012, and the funding drive pulled in more than $771,000. Broken Sword creator and Revolution co-founder Charles Cecil put together a team with many of the series' original developers to make The Serpent's Curse.
