Gunpowder soulslike Flintlock delayed into 2024

Developer A44 has delayed Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn to a 2024 launch date, which means you’ll have to wait until next year to make some flintlock devices and use them to blow up the gods and their undead army in a soulslike open world. That’s a delay of a year from the previous release date of “early 2023” on Steam, Epic Games Store, and Game Pass.

Debuting at last year‘s not-E3 celebration and complete with a PC Gaming Show trailer, Flintlock’s distinctive style got a lot of attention. It’s an action RPG about fighting hordes of undead monsters with an axe, black powder weapons, and tinkering little gadgets, all aided by the mystic powers of a weird little fox spirit who you probably can’t trust. It’s set in a world where the gods, angered by mankind’s invention of gunpowder, open a portal to the afterlife and let a bunch of undead through to wipe us all out. Classic god stuff, really.
