Red Art Games has announced a physical Nintendo Switch release for Broken Sword – The Smoking Mirror: Reforged, scheduled to arrive on February 19, 2026.
The publisher confirmed both ESRB and PEGI-rated physical versions will be available, offering collectors a choice between a standard retail copy and a limited deluxe edition for the platform.
The limited deluxe edition is explicitly packaged for fans and collectors: it includes the game cartridge, an exclusive sleeve that reproduces the original game's cover art, a soundtrack CD, a pixel-styled Nico Collard keychain, and a printed instruction manual.
Red Art Games positioned this release to cater to the audience that prefers tangible collector items alongside the Nintendo Switch experience.
In official materials, Red Art Games describes Reforged as an extensively enhanced edition of the multi-award-winning 1997 classic.
The publisher summarized the plot in journalistic terms: investigative journalist Nico Collard discovers an ornately carved obsidian artifact while looking into a drug syndicate, a find that drags her and George Stobbart into a conspiracy steeped in Mayan mystery, sacrificial rituals, and escalating threats that imperil humanity.
The game blends tense narrative beats with traditional point-and-click mechanics across a series of challenging puzzles.
Key features highlighted for this Nintendo Switch release include remastered visuals and enhanced audio, plus a toggle that allows players to switch between the original 1997 presentation and the newer Reforged version at the press of a button.
The release also restores previously unreleased dialogue from original scripts as bonus content and provides secrets to unlock upon game completion.
Gameplay options include a "traditional mode" for players seeking the classic puzzle challenge and a "story mode" that supplies subtle hints for those focused on narrative progression.
The title is fully voice acted in English, French, Italian, German and Spanish.
The Smoking Mirror occupies a respected place in the point-and-click adventure lineage created by Revolution Software in the 1990s.
This physical Reforged release for Nintendo Switch gives both longtime fans and new players a packaged, collectible way to experience the restored edition.
Retail availability begins February 19, 2026, per Red Art Games' announcement.
