3.3 Freeware release and Remastered edition.

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. 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. He escapes and soon uncovers the corruption which lies at the heart of society. After many years, armed security officers arrive, killing the locals and taking Robert back to Union City. Set in a dystopian future, the player assumes the role of Robert Foster, who was stranded in a wasteland known as 'the Gap' as a child and adopted by a group of local Aboriginals, gradually adjusting to his life in the wilderness.
