Entitled Beyond a Steel Sky, it was released on Apple Arcade in June 2020, on Steam in July 2020, and on GOG.com in March 2021. A sequel was greenlit during the Broken Sword: The Serpent's Curse 2012 Kickstarter campaign, and was announced in March 2019. A remastered edition was released for iOS in 2009 as Beneath a Steel Sky Remastered, which also received a positive reception from the gaming press.

It received positive reviews at the time of its release and is retrospectively viewed as a cult classic and Revolution's greatest game besides Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars. It was built using Revolution's Virtual Theatre engine, first used in Revolution's previous and debut release, 1992's Lure of the Temptress. The game has a serious tone, but features humour-filled dialogue, which came as a result of Cecil's and writer Dave Cummins's goal to find a middle ground between the earnestness of Sierra's and the slapstick comedy of LucasArts's adventure games. Cecil was a fan of Gibbons's work and approached with the idea of a video game. The trail has led you to Union City, one of the last remaining mega-cities in a world ravaged by shattering wars, and political meltdown. A child has been abducted in a brutal attack. 10/10.Originally titled Underworld, the game was a collaboration between game director Charles Cecil and comic book artist Dave Gibbons, and cost £40,000 to make. Generally favorable reviews based on 7 Ratings Your Score 0 Summary: You are Robert Foster. It's frustrating, but not enough to detract from the rest. The only slight downside is the absence of things to do when you get stuck - the other characters won't talk to you unless it's plot-related, and will sometimes ignore you until you solve a particular puzzle. You have a great sidekick in the form of Joey, a great comic foil in the form of Lamb, and there's enough shifts and reveals in the story to keep you interested until the end. There is plenty of voice acting in Beyond a Steel Sky. The Orwell-meets-Douglas-Adams storyline is dripping with black humour, and is a nice change from the self-referential gags of US graphic adventures. The story in Beyond a Steel Sky is told in comic book format. The graphics are among the best on the Amiga (and makes you wonder what Space Quest 4 would have been like in the hands of more capable converters). And a good conversion of a PC game, with graphics and gameplay both surviving intact. Check our Beyond a Steel Sky review June 1, 2023. Not quite Monkey Island brilliant, but still a classic.
