If “Ants” appears to be Microids’ flagship game in 2024, the French publisher still has some surprising titles in store. Indeed, today we are informed about the existence of “Flint: Treasure of Oblivion,” a Tactical RPG set in the world of piracy that will be released on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series in 2024 with no additional details provided at this time. The French studio Savage Level has taken on the project, allowing the two founders of the studio, Aurélien and Maxime Josse (who are brothers), “to develop a game in a universe they’ve been passionate about for years.” Although the first trailer suggests a rather niche game targeting a specific audience, the developers aim to reach a broader public through gameplay that is both deep and very accessible.
The game is expected to feature turn-based combat mechanics, drawing inspiration from role-playing and board games, particularly through the use of dice rolls. Players will also have the ability to engage in deck-building, utilizing ability and attribute cards to enhance their team members and gain an advantage over opponents. A trailer has been released with the announcement; however, it primarily serves as an atmospheric teaser, showcasing only a few gameplay images. It is worth noting that the game was developed using Unreal Engine 5, though this is not evident from the official screenshots or brief gameplay sequences in the video. We will have to await a more detailed gameplay trailer for further clarification on the game’s mechanics.
