Fans of the BAFTA-winning drama Peaky Blinders will have a chance to step into the world of the infamous gang in March 2023, as immersive entertainment studio Maze Theory prepares to launch Peaky Blinders: The King's Ransom on Meta Quest 2 and PICO 4.

The new virtual reality game promises to immerse players in the mean streets of 1920s Birmingham and London, where they will be able to explore iconic locations from the show and interact with key characters, including Thomas Shelby (voiced by Cillian Murphy) and Arthur Shelby (voiced by Paul Anderson).

Ahead of the game's launch, Maze Theory has released a new trailer highlighting two rival factions set to challenge the Shelbys, including the politically-motivated Winter's Children and the fiercely protective Tong from London's Chinese community. The trailer also showcases the game's intense action sequences and high-stakes moments.

The VR game has been created in partnership with Peaky Blinders producer Caryn Mandabach Productions and series creator Steven Knight and offers players an original story that adds to the Peaky Blinders franchise.

Peaky Blinders: The King's Ransom is set to launch on 9th March 2023, exclusively on Meta Quest 2 and PICO 4. You can additionally wishlist the game through Steam.
