To coincide with Flashback’s 30th anniversary, a sequel is scheduled for release later this year for PC, Switch, PlayStation and Xbox consoles.

The first trailer for the sequel, which is being developed by the original game’s creator Paul Cuisset and Microids Studio Lyon, was released last week.

“After defeating the Master Brain in the previous episode, Conrad and his allies are once again facing the Morphs species, threatening all civilizations,” a Microids statement reads.

Like its predecessor, the sequel will feature motion-captured animations. It will revisit a number of locations from the first game, including the jungle and Neo Washington, but will also include new locations like Neo Tokyo and a space station.

GOG’s Summer Sale launched earlier this month and is running until June 27. It includes over 3,500 deals and discounts of up to 90%, according to CD Projekt.

Following on from Sanitarium, Venetica – Gold Edition and Beautiful Desolation, Flashback is the fourth of five giveaways planned during the sale.
