Broken Sword - The Smoking Mirror: Reforged will include:

• Step into the shoes of American tourist George Stobbart and sharp-witted French journalist Nico Collard as they unravel a deadly Mayan conspiracy steeped in ancient artifacts and dark magic.
• Travel across Europe, the Carribean, and Central America, solving puzzles, outsmarting enemies, and piecing together the mystery behind the terrifying “Smoking Mirror”.
• Experience the game’s iconic locations, illustrated in beautiful high definition, coupled with crisp audio for the first time.
• Switch between the original 1997 version of the game and the new reforged visuals at the click of a button.
• Play the game the way that you want to - choose between a ‘traditional mode’ for people who enjoy adventures the way they used to be, and a ‘story mode’ for those who want subtle hints to ensure they never get frustrated.

They confirmed in the press release it will have full Linux support.

It's not a set deal yet though for the game to actually properly be complete, as they'll be launching a Kickstarter crowd funding campaign to get it over the finishing line.
