Earlier this year, developer A44 team revealed their upcoming open-world action RPG title Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn. However, little was known about the gameplay mechanics until today when the studio aired a 5-minutes video that gives a glimpse of the exploration and magic- and gunpowder-fuelled combat involved.

​

With heavy, impactful combat, players must think carefully about their every strike. The soldiers of the Gods’ undead army are devastatingly strong, and their dark magic can turn the tides of battle with just a few strikes. To defeat some of the most powerful beings in existence, players must utilize their full arsenal of tools - using black powder to its fullest extent and combining Nor’s agility with Enki’s most powerful magic to render enemies vulnerable and pick them apart one by one.

Flintlock introduces players to a wholly unique RPG setting set in a world inspired by the Flintlock Fantasy genre where magic and technology collide. In a world where the old Gods have returned to wage war against humanity, lead the fight against the Gods’ undead army alongside Nor and Enki.

Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn launches on PS4, PS5, PC (Steam and Epic Games Store), Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One in early 2023. It will also be available day one with Xbox Game Pass.

AA and indie games really need to stop trying to copy concepts already perfected in the AAA sphere. This is obviously never going to live up to the likes of God of War, so they're just opening themselves up to a flood of negative reviews on day one. Let's see a little more originality, eh?

It already got some originality for not acting like guns and magic can't exist together, like so many other fantasy games.
