The King's Ransom will be set in atmospheric 1920s Birmingham. Players will take on the role of a character who has been fleeing from the firing squad for more than ten years, and then decided to turn to the Peaky Blinders for help. As the story progresses, gamers will have to make complex moral choices to earn a place in the ranks of one of the most powerful British gangs of all time.
Along the way, players will meet many characters from the original series, including Tommy (voiced by Cillian Murphy) and Arthur Shelby (voiced by Paul Anderson). Together, they will hunt for Churchill's Red Box, a briefcase that contains the names and locations of every British agent all over the globe.
Players will get the chance to visit authentically recreated locations from the famous series. These include the Garrison Pub, Charlie's Yard, and Shelby's Betting Shop Office.
