Microids and Savage Level announce tactical RPG Flint: Treasure of Oblivion for PS5, Xbox Series, and PC
Due out in Q4 2024.
Publisher Microids and developer Savage Level have announced tactical RPG Flint: Treasure of Oblivion for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC (Steam, Epic Games Store, GOG). It will launch in Q4 2024.
“Flint: Treasure of Oblivion is an occasion for us to develop a game in a universe we have always been passionate about,” said Savage Level founders Declares Aurelien and Maxime Josse in a press release. “This game gives us the possibility of informing the general public about what piracy really was, often portrayed in a caricatured and wrong way. Flint: Treasure of Oblivion is the culmination of a rethinking process aimed at advancing the cliches of narration in video games. With this title, we are proposing an original way of telling stories through the medium of comic book and take the opportunity to highlight the Franco-Belgian comics that have been making us dream since our childhood.”
Here is an overview of the game, via Microids:
About
Flint: Treasure of Oblivion is the first game from Savage Level, a team of industry veterans founded in 2021, promising a gaming experience that combines a rich story with deep, accessible gameplay.
Prepare to embark alongside Captain Flint, his second-in-command Billy Bones and his crew of old salts in search of a legendary treasure promising freedom and fortune. With its original narrative using traditional comic strips as a narrative medium, Flint: Treasure of Oblivion invites players to immerse themselves in a historically accurate pirate adventure spiced up with fantasy.
Flint: Treasure of Oblivion delivers adventure, but also strategic depth thanks to its turn-based combat mechanics, refreshing the genre’s foundations by drawing on mechanics from role-playing and board games, notably through dice rolls. When players build their crew, each member brings unique skills to use, allowing them to adapt their strategy to their style of gameplay. During the tactical phases, players can use skill and attribute cards to improve their crew members and gain an advantage over their opponents. Hoist the mainsail and set off to discover the secrets buried in the distant lands of Flint: Treasure of Oblivion.
