Publisher Kepler Interactive announced on March 14th that the action RPG “Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn“announced. Supported platforms are PS4 / PS5 / Xbox One / Xbox Series X | S / PC (Steam / Epic Games Store). The release date is said to be 2022. According to the Steam store page, this work seems to support Japanese.
“Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn” is an open-world action RPG. On the stage of this work, the door to the world is opened, and the undead army of ancient gods is invading. Living things are in danger of extinction, and they will form an allied force to survive. With revenge, gunpowder, and magic, we will fight the last battle of humankind against the army of death.
In this work, the player is not alone, but it seems that there are friends who cooperate. The existence of Nor Vanek, a member of the Allied Forces, and Enki, a strange creature that manipulates magical powers, have been revealed. Each of them seems to have revenge on the gods. Also, in the trailer released this time, a woman who handles melee weapons and guns and a character like a beast who kills an enemy with supernatural power are depicted fighting together. As shown in the video, it may be the key to collaborate with each other to counter immortal enemies.
As a battle system, it seems that actions with axes, shooting, magic, etc. will be developed. It is said that a difficult but rewarding battle will take place. There seems to be a system that connects combos to launch powerful attacks. It may be fun to combine various weapons and magic to pursue more effective continuous attacks.
As mentioned earlier, this work will be developed in an open world. As the stage of the adventure, it seems that developments such as flying in the desert area, passing through the cave, and uncovering the secret hidden in the tower of the city of twilight are waiting. It seems that the battle for the survival of humankind is waiting while over various locations. In addition, it is possible to gather a crew member called Blackstream along the way. A group of weapon experts who handle explosives and help them in the battle with the gods.
Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn is developed by New Zealand-based game studio A44 Games. The studio is known as the developer of the open world RPG “Ashen” released in 2019. This work has won a certain reputation on the review accumulation site Metacritic. The PC version has a Metascore of 81, and the Xbox One version has a Metascore of 79. In “Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn”, I hope that a game that further refines the know-how of the previous work will be developed.
“Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn” will be released in 2022 for PS4 / PS5 / Xbox One / Xbox Series X | S / PC (Steam / Epic Games Store). Annapurna Interactive has developed a console version of the previous work “Ashen” in Japan, but it is unclear at this point whether this work released by Kepler Interactive will be released in Japan.
