With its gorgeous hand-drawn backgrounds, stunning (for its time) rotoscoped animation, and engaging science fiction storyline, 1992ās Flashback is one of gamingās all-time greats. Now original game designer Paul Cuisset is back, supervising a team of developers creating Flashback 2, coming in 2022 for consoles and PC.
Thereās not a lot of information on the newly announced sequel so far beyond the official announcement from publisher Microids. We do know Flashback 2 is an action platformer chronicling the continuing adventures of Conrad B. Hart, the intelligence agent who thwarted an alien invasion of Earth in the first game (spoilers). Itās also not clear if this new sequel will acknowledge the events of Flashbackās first sequel, 1995ās blocky 3D Fade to Black.
If youāve never played the original Flashback itās available on PlayStation 4, Switch, and PC via Steam for like $10, and youāve got plenty of time to catch up. Avoid the 2013 remake thoughā¦it didnāt turn out very well.
