Night Street Games announced today that its latest game, Last Flag, will officially release on April 14.
Last Flag is described as an “over-the-top” 5v5 capture-the-flag shooter, originally conceived by Night Street Games founders Dan Reynolds and Mac Reynolds. The duo felt that other titles in the capture-the-flag genre failed to recapture the experience they had as kids, where hiding and finding the flag was the most exciting part of the game.
Players in Last Flag compete for fame and fortune in a 1970s-style game show setting. Matches are designed to last around 20 minutes, creating an experience the developers did not want to feel “too sweaty.”
“Working on Last Flag has been a dream for all of us at the studio. It is not often you get to build a game exactly how you want,” said Mac Reynolds, CEO and co-founder of Night Street Games. “Our PC launch is a huge milestone, but we are just getting started. New maps, new contestants and some unexpected twists are coming later this year. We cannot wait to share it all.”
If this sounds appealing, you will be glad to know Night Street Games is running an open demo from now until March 2. Participants can earn exclusive cosmetic rewards, such as the Lunar Gold-themed skin set, which will carry over to the full game when it launches in April.
As previously mentioned, Night Street Games was founded by two brothers. What makes that particularly interesting is that Mac Reynolds manages the band Imagine Dragons, while Dan Reynolds serves as its lead singer. The pair say they launched Night Street Games in an effort to create multiplayer experiences built with heart.
For now, Last Flag will be available only on PC via Steam or the Epic Games Store. However, the developers have confirmed console versions are in development and expected to launch later this year. Be sure to check out Last Flag when it releases on April 14.
