Video game based on 'Peaky Blinders' will be released this summer

Good news for fans of "Peaky Blinders" as the popular BBC crime series is being adapted into a video game.   

The game titled "Peaky Blinders: Mastermind" will be available on consoles and PC this summer, according to The Independent. 

It will be a prequel to the first series of the program and it focuses on Tommy Shelby (played by Cillian Murphy) as he tries to defend his criminal empire against enemies.

In the game, players control all six members of the Shelby family and navigate through a series of deadly puzzles to plan elaborate heists.

“Tommy Shelby talks about how he has no concern for the future, no concern for the past,” Director James Marsden said in the gameplay reveal video on Wednesday.

He said, “He only cares about one minute, the ‘soldier’s minute’ where everything in a battle is decided. We’ve designed our entire game around this idea.”

According to the publication, Mastermind will be released on Nintendo Switch, PC platforms, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. The release date of the game is not immediately known.
