Introducing Relooted: The Africanfuturist Heist We Didn’t Know We Needed
Get ready, gamers! Hot off the press from the Day of the Devs: Summer Game Fest Edition, we have a tantalizing new title coming your way. Say hello to Relooted, a captivating heist adventure that blends Africanfuturism with compelling narrative to bring an entirely fresh gaming experience to PC and Xbox. Developed by South Africa’s own Nyamakop, the creative minds behind the indie gem Semblance, this title is all about reclaiming what’s rightfully yours… in style!
A Story Worth Stealing
Set in a reimagined Johannesburg at the tail end of the 21st century, Relooted kicks off with a juicy premise: the infamous Transatlantic Returns Treaty didn’t quite pan out. Museums exploited loopholes galore, leaving players with the heavy challenge of restoring Africa’s culturally significant artifacts that went missing thanks to colonial practices. Instead of a straightforward diplomatic mission, players must engage in a more cunning form of "stealthy diplomacy." After all, it’s not just a heist—it’s a glorious reclaiming of heritage!
Meet Nomali and the Crew
Players step into the shoes of Nomali, who’s not just your run-of-the-mill protagonist. With a troublesome younger brother as motivation, she rallies a crew of unique and quirky characters from various African nations. Whether it’s a savvy hacker or your well-versed grandmother, each crew member brings distinct skills to the table, vital for pulling off the audacious heists.
