Three decades after the first adventures of Conrad B.Hart, Flashback 2 invites players to enjoy this new chapter in the action/platformer franchise!

After defeating the Master Brain in the previous episode, Conrad and his allies are once again facing the Morphs species, threatening all civilizations. Adding insult to injury, Conrad’s best friend Ian is being kidnapped in front of him.. Another dirty trick from the Morphs? It will be up to you to find out who did it and their motivations..

Revealed back in 2021, and developed in close collaboration between Paul Cuisset’s team and Microids Studio Lyon, Flashback 2 will welcome players to discover a brand new story blending action, puzzle and infiltration. This adventure will take you to familiar places like Neo Washington or the Jungle, as well as new locations like Neo Tokyo or a mysterious space station.

To work on this sequel and pay tribute to the original game, Paul Cuisset managed to bring back some team members like game designer Thierry Perreau and the composer of the famous Amiga soudtrack, Raphaël Gesqua.

While previously only the Nintendo Switch version was planned for 2023, Microids revealed that the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC versions of the game have also been pushed back until next year.
