After almost 3 decades, Paul Cuisset and Microids have announced that Flashback 2 is now in development and is scheduled for release on PC and consoles in 2022.
The original 1992 game, Flashback, had a great deal of success on the systems of the time and even went down in the Guinness Book of Records as the best selling French game of all time. All the UK Amiga magazines at the time awarded it over 90% and that was most likely because of its incredibly fluid animation, engaging storyline and beautiful presentation.
Flashback 2 will once again feature the hero Conrad B. Hart and just like the original will be an action platformer. It’s certainly going to be a title that many older gamers are going to keep an eye on. You young whippersnapper gamers don’t even know how amazing this game was at the time.
“We are super excited to offer the fans a sequel to this masterpiece of the French video game history. At Microids, we thrive for delivering projects highlighting the craft of talented individuals. Paul Cuisset is a French hall of famer known internationally. We are proud to work hand in hand with him and his team on this project.” Stated Stéphane Longeard, CEO of Microids.
“Developing a sequel to Flashback is an idea I’ve had for a very long time. I can’t wait for players to discover the new adventures of Conrad B. Hart, a character created almost 30 years ago. With Microids, we are really aiming to please the fans of the original title while being appealing to any players with a weak spot for futuristic games“ adds Paul Cuisset.
Look out for more news on Flashback 2 arriving in future.
