Microids Studio Lyon's direct sequel to 1992's Flashback: The Quest for Identity has launched, overseen by Delphine Software designer Paul Cuisset. The science fiction adventure features a semi-open world subdivided into five distinct, interconnected levels.

Single-player 2.5D sidescrolling gameplay unfolds across jungle, city, GBI Academy, mutant village, and morph ship environs. Flashback 2 is currently available for PS4 and PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Series X|S consoles, along with Windows via Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store. The Nintendo Switch edition is in development.

Music for the game is by Raphaël Gesqua, the composer of the score for Flashback for Amiga. The two-volume game soundtrack is now available for streaming on Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube Music and Amazon Music Unlimited. Preorders have opened at Microids Records for the Flashback 2 double vinyl soundtrack, also shipping from distributors Light in the Attic in Seattle and Black Screen Records in Europe.


From the product page:

In 1992, Flashback revolutionized action gaming and gained legendary status, ranking among the 100 best video games in history. Today, Paul Cuisset, the creator of the original game, invites you to play again as Conrad B. Hart, the young agent of the GBI (Galactic Bureau of Investigation).

In the 22nd century, the peace of the United Worlds extends throughout the Solar System — but this tranquility is threatened by the Morph invasion led by the fearsome General Lazarus.​
