Curve Digital (the publisher) and FuturLab (the developer) announced that they are making a game adaptation of a multi-award-winner BBC/Netflix series.

„Peaky Blinders: Mastermind is a puzzle-adventure game, based on the multi-award-winning BBC and Netflix TV show. Welcome to Birmingham, during the aftermath of the Great War. Set right before the events of Season One, Peaky Blinders: Mastermind lets you join the Shelby family’s criminal gang. Follow the rise of Tommy as he successfully uncovers a sinister plot to put the family out of business, proving himself worthy of being the true mastermind of the Peaky Blinders.

Mastermind refers to Tommy’s ability to plan complex scenarios in his head. As the player, you get to exercise this power by taking control of key members of the Shelby family including Tommy, Arthur, Polly and more. Become the Mastermind as you freely reset and rewind each character’s path to tune all of their actions for perfect coordination. Achieve the highest mission rating by strategically utilizing characters and stealth to solve increasingly complex puzzles with optimum timing.

True to the TV Show – Take control of Tommy, Arthur, Polly, John, Ada and Finn as they navigate through familiar locations including The Garrison Tavern, Charlie Strong’s Yard, Shelby Parlour and more. When a Peaky Blinder is implicated in the murder of a Chinese opium dealer, Tommy embarks on a mission to find out the truth, slowly growing into the true Peaky Blinders’ Mastermind.

The game is going to arrive this summer, which is a wide launch window, but due to the coronavirus, we can’t complain much – many games have confirmed a summer launch window. Peaky Blinders: Mastermind is going to launch on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC (Steam). Jokes aside, is it us, or does this game feel like an XCOM title, without aliens? An isometric angle with strategy feels a bit like something from Firaxis…
