Picture: Mimimi
There are few studios on the market on prime of their respective video games like Mimimi are. From Shadow Ways to Desperadoes 3, they’ve confirmed themselves the grasp of the trendy stealth ways sport, and in 2023 they’re again with an all-new sport, this time about pirates.
That is Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew, which is due out in direction of the top of the yr. It received’t take lengthy within the trailers beneath to see some acquainted sights: the combination of real-time motion mixed with stealth ways and particular powers is one Mimimi have been perfecting over the previous decade, and after dabbling with some magic of their final sport they’re absolutely dedicated to it now.

Apart from the plain thematic shift, from one vibrant period of historical past to a different, it will all look very acquainted to followers of Shadow Ways and Desperadoes 3. Which, let’s be clear, is an excellent factor. These two video games have come about as shut as video games can come to perfecting a style, so Shadow Gambit might be messing with issues across the edges of the Mimimi expertise, not making wholesale adjustments.
Shadow Gambit might be out on the finish of 2023 on PC, Xbox and PlayStation. And if you happen to assume I’ve been extra hyperbolic than regular in speaking about these video games, know that I’ve good motive. Right here’s how I wrapped up my impressions of Desperadoes 3:
I can’t communicate extremely sufficient of Desperados 3. It’s virtually the right stealth expertise, tense however not terrifying, empowering however not simple (it truly will get actually robust in components), and if that is the pedigree that Mimimi are constructing for themselves on this house, I can’t wait to see what comes subsequent.
