A video game based on the Netflix series Peaky Blinders will launch on PS4, Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch this summer.
Peaky Blinders: Mastermind is a prequel to the show’s first season, with series creator Steven Knight working collaboratively with FuturLab. “Peaky Blinders: Mastermind allows you to join the Shelby family’s criminal gang. Follow Tommy’s rise as he successfully uncovers a sinister plan to get the family out of business, proving himself worthy of being the true brain of the Peaky Blinders.” says the official Description on Steam.
Peaky Blinders sounds like the ideal footage for a video game, but it’s actually the game description that interests me most. You’ll play as different characters from the show, including Tommy, Arthur, Polly, John, Ada and Finn to carry out missions using each character’s unique strengths. The game is played from a top-down perspective and involves planning, rewinding, and resetting the characters’ trajectories in sequence to execute their master plan. Choosing the right strategy for each character, whether it’s stealth, distraction, or brute force, will be key to coordinating a successful mission.
The story commends the Shelby family to end a plot to dismantle their criminal empire, with Tommy Shelby’s ability to mentally work through intricate settings that take center stage in the game. Marketed as “true to the television show” on which it is based, it will explore places known as The Garrison Tavern, Charlie Strong’s Yard and Shelby Parlor.
