The hit television seriesPeaky Blinders has evolved into quite the phenomenon since its 2013 release, growing into something of a lifestyle brand with pubs/bars, merchandise, and now its own video game. Titled Peaky Blinders: Mastermind, the new game will allow players to join Tommy Shelby and the rest of the cast as they take on a new bunch of missions.

While playing the game, gamers will have access to characters such as Tommy, Arthur, Polly, John, Ada and Finn, with each player having their own unique personality-based powers and abilities. The game, which will be available on PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC, is due for release this summer.

Speaking about the new release, James Marsden, FuturLab's game director, said: "There's a point in the show where Tommy Shelby explains he has no concern for the past, nor the future; all he cares about is a crucial moment he calls the 'soldier's minute. We designed our game around that idea, allowing players to plan actions backward and forward in time, choreographing an ensemble cast of characters—Arthur and Polly included—to synchronise their actions during these crucial moments."
