Via social media and its website, French developer Microids announced Flashback 2, a sequel for the 1992 cult classic title Flashback.
Flashback 2 is currently in production and is scheduled for release in 2022. This sequel is coming to unannounced consoles and PC platforms.
Paul Cuisset, creator of the original game, will be supervising the team in charge of the game.
The original title, Flashback, was written, designed and directed by Cuisset himself. Flashback has been ported to multiple platforms and has been critically acclaimed.
Veteran gamers shall remember the game because of the rotoscoped character animations and innovative gameplay. This game may remind some fans of the 1989 title Prince of Persia.
Conrad B. Hart will once again be the main character.
The first title and its original sequel known as Fade to Black were released by Delphine Software International. Delphine closed its doors in 2002 due to bankruptcy. It was working on a third game with Adeline Software International.
French developer Vectorcell [ref. Wikipedia: VectorCell] (2005-2013), owned by Cuisset, published a Flashback remake in 2013.
The sci-fi cinematic platform game Flashback was released as Flashback: The Quest for Identity in the United States in 1992. It is currently available simply as Flashback for Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One (compatible with Xbox Series X/S), PC (via Microsoft Store and Steam), iOS and Android.
“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,” said Paul Cuisset.
About Flashback: “2142. After fleeing from a space ship but stripped of all memory, the eminent scientist Conrad B. Hart awakens on Titan, a colonised moon of the planet Saturn. His enemies and kidnappers are snapping at his heels. He must find a way back to Earth, defending himself against the dangers he encounters and unravelling an insidious extra-terrestrial plot that threatens the planet…”
Flashback 2 is in production and will launch in 2022 on consoles and PC. Stay tuned for more information.
