For those of you who don\u2019t know us, we\u2019re an indie studio from New Zealand and released our first game, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.xbox.com\/en-GB\/games\/store\/ashen\/BNXLPPCVS0HN\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ashen<\/a>, back in 2018. I\u2019m excited to say we\u2019ve announced the release date for our upcoming explosive souls-lite adventure, <strong>Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn<\/strong>. Mark your calendars, because your journey begins on July 18, 2024! Flintlock is coming to Xbox Series X|S with pre-orders available now and will also be available at launch for anyone with Game Pass.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<p>\n<iframe title=\"Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn | Release Date Announcement Trailer - Xbox Games Showcase 2024\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/AELgaQ6GqSs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Flintlock is a thrilling action-RPG that takes the knowledge and experience we gained from Ashen and elevates it. While it retains elements of the Souls genre, it infuses it with rapid mobility, creating a rhythmic combat dance reminiscent of more action-oriented gameplay styles. You can weave in flintlock weapons, axe combat and magic to chain combos together, while using jumps and dodge abilities to quickly get to safety or rain attacks down on your enemies from above. It\u2019s a style we like to call Souls-lite!\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/Flintlock_Screenshot_Release_Date_Flintlock_4K-2e07a8b9359f2c91a73f.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-202340\" srcset=\"https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/Flintlock_Screenshot_Release_Date_Flintlock_4K-2e07a8b9359f2c91a73f.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/Flintlock_Screenshot_Release_Date_Flintlock_4K-2e07a8b9359f2c91a73f-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/Flintlock_Screenshot_Release_Date_Flintlock_4K-2e07a8b9359f2c91a73f-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/Flintlock_Screenshot_Release_Date_Flintlock_4K-2e07a8b9359f2c91a73f-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>The story of Flintlock is set in the world of Kian, 10 years after the Door to the Great Below was opened, unleashing the gods and their armies of the dead. The lands of Kian are overrun, and the Coalition Army is tied up in an increasingly hopeless siege outside the city of Dawn\u2019s walls. And just as the army sends in its elite sapper troops to try and turn the tide of war by breaching the walls, it seems that they meddled where they shouldn\u2019t have.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>By breaching the walls, Nor Vanek, a Flintlock weapons expert, and her comrades have also freed Uru, the Guardian of the Door, and nothing can now prevent the gods and the dead from ravaging the surrounding regions. Only by teaming up with a fox-like creature \u2013 now revealed to also be a God called Enki \u2013 can Nor hope to find both vengeance and redemption by venturing on a quest to kill all Gods.
