New Peaky Blinders episodes have not blessed our television screens since last September, and although we know they’re coming, there’s no release date for season six yet. Well, Blinders fans, Tuesday brought good and bad news. The good news: Peaky Blinders technically gets a prequel. The bad news: you have to be a player to appreciate it as it’s not a show. It is more of a strategy game for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC and Switch. as disclosed by IGN.
The potentially good news: it looks like fun. Though it’s not an open world in Grand Theft Auto style – a Rockstar Peaky Blinders game is something I didn’t know I wanted until this moment – it is a stylish looking top-down strategy game.
Peaky Blinders: Mastermind lets you take control of six Shelby family members in Tommy, Arthur, Polly, Ada, Finn and John. Each character has a special ability, such as Tommy’s threat, Ada’s distraction, and Arthur’s well-known talent to cause an uproar (“brawl and kicking” is the game’s official name for its abilities). They will use all six shelbies and all six of their special abilities to get through each level.
The studio behind it developed by Futurlab was celebrated Velocity Ultra and Speed X2 Games take place before the first season of the show, according to IGN. Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight is also involved in the project.
“There is a point on the show where Tommy Shelby explains that he doesn’t care about the past or the future. Anything that interests him is a crucial moment when he calls the soldier’s minute,” said Game director James Marsden told IGN. “We developed our game based on this idea so that the player can schedule actions back and forth and choreograph an ensemble of characters to synchronize their actions in these crucial moments. The player feels like the clever and clever leader, Tommy is. “
Before the fifth season of Peaky Blinders, which aired last year, was director Knight said the show would run for up to seven seasons and that a post-show film is a strong option. Filming for the sixth season of the BBC Two / Netflix hit started in January but was stopped in March due to the novel coronavirus outbreak.
