Flashback 2 artwork and logo for the classic action-platformer

Continuing with the recent trend of bringing back ancient classics, the 1992 action-platformer Flashback is currently in the process of getting a modern sequel. While no exact release has been given just yet, Flashback 2 will be launching onto PC and consoles at some point in 2023, most likely within the first half of the year.

Much like its predecessor, Flashback 2 will be a sci-fi action-platformer that will task you with exploring complex levels while doing whatever you can to avoid and outwit your enemies rather than simply run at them with guns blazing. Unfortunately, instead of sticking with the original's iconic rotoscoped look, Flashback 2 will be going for a much more standardized 2.5D art style.

What this looks like in action, that you can get a little bit of a sneak peek at through the brief teaser trailer below. Have a peek:

While the details are still few and far between, you can read a bit more about Flashback 2, as well as keep an eye on any future developer updates, over at the official website. Enjoy, and here's to hoping Flashback 2 manages to live up to the original's sizable legacy.
