Prepare to embark alongside Captain Flint, his second-in-command Billy Bones and his crew of old salts in search of a legendary treasure promising freedom and fortune. With its original narrative using traditional comic strips as a narrative medium, Flint: Treasure Of Oblivion invites players to immerse themselves in a historically accurate pirate adventure spiced up with fantasy.

Flint: Treasure Of Oblivion delivers adventure, but also strategic depth thanks to its turn-based combat mechanics, refreshing the genre's foundations by drawing on mechanics from role-playing and board games, notably through dice rolls. When players build their crew, each member brings unique skills to use, allowing them to adapt their strategy to their style of gameplay. During the tactical phases, players can use skill and attribute cards to improve their crew members and gain an advantage over their opponents.

Hoist the mainsail and set off to discover the secrets buried in the distant lands of Flint: Treasure Of Oblivion.

Originally planned for November 14, Microids and Savage Level revealed Flint: Treasure of Oblivion is now coming to PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on December 17, 2024.

The new video highlights essential mechanics such as crew management, the diverse arsenal of weapons, and the intensity of unarmed combat—offering players a closer look at the strategic depth and role-playing opportunities that await.

Crew Management and Archetypes

Building the perfect crew is critical to success. Players can recruit legendary pirates like John Silver and Mary Read, alongside other skilled adventurers. With 12 distinct archetypes, including Surgeons, Swashbuckler and Helmsmen, each crew member brings unique abilities to the team.

Archetype Combos tips: Positioning matters! Place two characters from the same archetype side by side in combat to unlock powerful new skills and devastating combos, giving you a tactical edge in battle.

Weapons and unarmed combat

The combat in Flint: Treasure of Oblivion combines strategy and adaptability. The game offers a wide variety of weapons, from sabers to pistols, providing unique tactical options based on play style. Unarmed combat also allows players to perform brutal actions, such as tackling or crushing enemies, which can be combined with environmental interactions for maximum impact.

A second video unveiling even more gameplay mechanics is on the horizon.
