'Sir, You Are Being Hunted: Reinvented Edition' Announced For Nintendo Switch And PC - Screens

Sir, You Are Being Hunted: Reinvented Edition presents a savagely funny world of procedurally-generated stealth and survival.

Roam wild in spooky British landscapes, all the while being hunted by a menagerie of bloodthirsty robots. A beautifully remastered new edition of the cult survival game.

Explore a procedurally-generated British landscape as you attempt to get home from a world where tweed-wearing robots yearn for your blood. With advice from your faithful butler, Walters, you must employ stealth and survival tactics to escape this terriftyingly funny alternate dimension.

Sir, You Are Being Hunted: Reinvented Edition is a faithful remaster of the 2014 stealth and survival game, Sir, You Are Being Hunted.


Funded on Kickstarter in 2012, initially released as one of the first games on Steam’s Early Access in 2013, and then updated with multiplayer in 2014, Sir, You Are Being Hunted went on to sell over half a million copies. 

“Nearly a decade on from the original game, it’s a surprise and a wonder to be able to return to our beloved world of robo-murder, tea, and biscuits, and to finally see a Big Robot game appear on console. This new, remastered title is a standalone game with original features, new controls, new quality of life options, and, of course, modernised visuals. I’m delighted to see Den of Thieves support the original game with the 1.5 patch - our first update in six years! This patch fixes many of the issues that have cropped up over time, such as re-establishing multiplayer, legacy bugs, and once again making the game playable for Mac users." said Big Robot’s CEO and founder Jim Rossignol.

Anne Wijning, Lead Programmer at Den of Thieves Games said: “We are very excited about showing the fans what we’ve been working on for so long. I’ve personally played this game since 2014, when it was still in Early Access, and working on this project was a dream-come-true Our goal at Den of Thieves Games is to reinvent beloved games. More than just a remaster, we want to tackle long-standing design issues as well.”

Wijning previously worked on Nintendo Switch ports of ‘Defunct’ and ‘Among the Sleep: Enhanced Edition’, prior to starting his company.
