Today, New Zealand-based developer A44 team have announced their upcoming game Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn. It is said to be an open world, action adventure RPG involving vengeance, gunpowder and magic. A reveal trailer was aired for the announcement:

​

The door to the Afterlife has been opened, allowing the old god’s army of the undead to escape from within. Join Nor Vanek, a member of the coalition army, and her mystical companion Enki, a strange creature gifted with magical powers, as they pursue their personal vendetta against the gods.

With an open world to explore, leave your mark on a vast battlefield as you travel through desert sands, cavernous ruins and towering cities filled with secrets and lead mankind’s final siege against the tide of the dead. Players must embrace their creativity and master a rewarding combat system by blending axe wielding, gunplay, magic and more to unleash powerful combos and prevail over the most powerful beings in creation.

Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn will launch later this year on PS4, PS5, PC (Steam & EGS), Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One (available day one with Xbox Game Pass).

Somehow, I read it the was Flintstones: The Siege of Dawn. In second time when I read the game's name and got it right, I was very disappointed.

Will it be 3D or isometric

CGI trailer so not much to say there. However I do like mid tier developers doing things like this and have not really had much in the way of it since the 360, and indeed that was more of a last hurrah compared to the PS2 era.

This low tone music trend trailer is still going huh? Reminds me of the AC Unity trailer many years ago.



Having seen many like this I can't help but cringe a bit, but hopefully the game is good.

Had me at "action RPG", lost me at "open world"

Well, not COMPLETELY lost. makes it a "wait til I hear more" under Crystar (Switch port), Soulstice, and Granblue Fantasy ReLink for action games this year since Babylon's Fall became... what it is now.

I have a gut feeling this just gonna be another generic open world game with a gimmick to slightly separate it from the ocean of genetic open world games with a gimmick

involving vengeance, gunpowder and magic.

I wonder what sort of build I should go with. Gun build? Magic build? V e n g a n c e build?
