Peaky Blinders: The King’s Ransom Launches 9th March 2023
It’s official: Peaky Blinders: The King’s Ransom comes to Meta Quest 2 and PICO 4 on Thursday 9th March 2023.
Whether you’re part of our online community or you met us in-person at EGX in September, you’ve all been dying to know one thing above all else: “When is it coming out?”
As a studio, it’s been incredibly hard keeping quiet about this news, but we wanted to announce it in the best way possible. That’s why we were so excited to premiere the game’s latest cinematic trailer last night at the 40th Golden Joystick Awards in London, officially revealing the release date for Peaky Blinders: The King’s Ransom – 9th March 2023.
Watch the Release Date Trailer here:
The new trailer gives a glimpse into what to expect from the iconic TV series’ debut on VR at launch:
Immersive World: Step into the mean streets of 1920s Birmingham and London and explore iconic locations from the show, including The Garrison pub, Charlie’s Yard, and Shelby’s Betting Shop.
Believable Characters: Come face-to-face with Tommy Shelby (voiced by Cillian Murphy) and Arthur Shelby (voiced by Paul Anderson) like never before. Interact with iconic characters as you uncover allegiances and confront your enemies.
Intense Action: Life in Small Heath is full of opportunity – and risk. Immerse yourself in dramatic action as you take down rivals and move up in the world.
Epic Crime Drama: On the run from the firing squad, you turn to the infamous Tommy Shelby for help, and soon find yourself at war once again. Your only hope at redemption is to defeat the odds and win at any cost… By order of the Peaky Blinders.
Here’s what Tim Jones, Game Director at Maze Theory, had to say about the news:
“The clock is ticking and the launch of Peaky Blinders’ TV series debut on VR is fast approaching. For fans of action-adventure and crime drama, Peaky Blinders: The King's Ransom allows players to explore the gritty streets of 1920s Birmingham in an authentic Peaky Blinders virtual reality experience inspired by the hit TV drama series. We think this new trailer will give players an exciting glimpse of what’s to come in March.”
