Oh look, another game about running around with flags 🏃♂️🏳️🌈—but this time it’s wrapped in a disco ball and served with a side of 1970s nostalgia! Night Street Games, the studio founded by the Reynolds brothers (one runs a band, the other *is* the band), has announced that Last Flag will officially release on April 14. Yes, the same Dan Reynolds from Imagine Dragons who probably wrote “Believer” while imagining a world where capture-the-flag is a televised bloodbath. Spoiler: it isn’t.
The game promises to be “over-the-top,” which in developer-speak probably means they added neon lights and called it a day. Players will compete in a 1970s-style game show for fame and fortune, which sounds suspiciously like someone watched *The Running Man* and thought, “What if we replaced the flamethrowers with flag poles?” Matches are designed to last around 20 minutes, ensuring the experience is “not too sweaty.” Because nothing says intense competition like worrying about your armpit stains mid-match. 😅
Night Street Games is also running an open demo until March 2, where you can earn exclusive cosmetic rewards like the “Lunar Gold-themed skin set.” Nothing screams “I’m a serious gamer” like dressing your character in gold while you awkwardly fumble with a flag. 🏆💰 The demo is available on Steam, because of course it is—where else would you go to pretend you’re on a game show without leaving your mom’s basement?
The Reynolds brothers claim they wanted to create multiplayer experiences “built with heart.” Sure, Jan. We’ll believe that when the game doesn’t involve teabagging your opponents after you steal their flag. For now, Last Flag will be PC-only, but console versions are coming later this year, presumably after they figure out how to make controllers glow in the dark. So mark your calendars for April 14, and prepare to relive your childhood—but with more polyester and fewer grass stains. 🌿✨
