George and Nico return in the third Broken Sword game, released in October 2003. The game is 3D, unlike the two previous games which are traditional 2D point-and-click games. The Knights Templar return in another globetrotting adventure, taking the protagonists to Glastonbury, Paris, Cairo, Prague and the Congo.

The adventure game starts off in the Congo, as George Stobbart, a patent lawyer from Idaho, flies out to meet a client. He arrives just in time to see his would-be client shot. Miles away, in Paris, reporter Nicole Collard is working a case - and her timing is just as impeccable. As she arrives to meet someone who has a story he wants to tell her about the end of the world, she hears gunshots and breaks into the apartment to find her informant dead. Series heroes George and Nico reunite once again to gather clues, solve puzzles, and save the world.
