After porting the director's cut of Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars to the Nintendo DS and Wii, developer Revolution Software is now remaking another one of its classic titles: the dystopic adventure Beneath a Steel Sky.

Revolution has recently set up a brand new division devoted solely to digital distribution, which will focus on bringing games to the iPhone/iPod Touch, Android, PSP GO, and DSiWare. The first project is the remastered version of BaSS, which will initially be hitting the iPhone, but is expected to come to other portable platforms after that.

“The adventure genre is undergoing a renaissance, and we’re thrilled to be bringing a revamped and remastered version of this classic adventure to a whole new audience,” Revolution founder Charles Cecil said. “Beneath A Steel Sky-Remastered is just the start of what we want to do. We’ll be announcing more Revolution Pocket titles soon—some of which people will recognize, others which will be wholly original."

The game will feature brand new animated sequences drawn by famed comic book artist Dave Gibbons—who worked on the original game in 1994 and is probably best known as the artist behind Watchmen.

Pricing details have yet to be set, but the game is expected to be released this fall. It's great to see developers finally getting on board with releasing classic adventure games, and if you've yet to play BaSS, the original game is currently available as freeware.
