About Peaky Blinders: The King’s Ransom
Peaky Blinders: The King’s Ransom is an original story based on the BAFTA-winning drama series. It was created in collaboration with Peaky Blinders’ producer and brand owner Caryn Mandabach Productions, and series creator and writer Steven Knight. The game is produced in partnership with Banijay Brands, the commercial arm of the Banijay Group, a global content production and distribution company.
The game will feature an immersive world that allows players to explore iconic locations from the show, including The Garrison pub, Charlie’s Yard, and Shelbys’ Betting Shop, all set in the mean streets of 1920s Birmingham and London. Players will also be able to interact with iconic characters from the show, including Tommy Shelby and Arthur Shelby, portrayed by Cillian Murphy and Paul Anderson, respectively.
The game will feature intense action scenes as players take down rivals and move up in the world of Small Heath. As the player goes on the run from the firing squad, they will turn to the infamous Tommy Shelby for help, finding themselves at war once again. The player’s only hope for redemption is to defeat the odds and win at any cost, all while being watched over by the Peaky Blinders.
