Evaluation

Broken Sword: Director's Cut is no longer available for purchase on Steam — the store listing has no purchase options. The game originally released on August 26, 2010 and received its last notable content addition in March 2017, when Revolution Software released free DLC for the game's 20th anniversary, including the original (non-Director's Cut) version of the game and its soundtrack. The store description mentions that a remastered version, "Broken Sword 1 - Shadow of the Templars: Reforged," is coming soon, which likely explains the removal of this older edition from sale. Developer news posts from 2017 and 2019 relate to anniversary content and a separate game (Beyond a Steel Sky), not to any new content for the Director's Cut itself.
