It’s nearly time to catch up with Captain Haddock, Snowy, and Belgium’s finest reporter-slash-detective, with a Tintin Reporter: Cigars of the Pharaoh release date window on the cards for later this year. Tintin is a great fit for the detective games genre, with countless classic stories of him sticking his nose where it shouldn’t be, and we’re already looking forward to this reimagining of one of Herge’s finest Tintin tales.
With adventure game extraordinaire Pendulo Studios on developing duty, this title is set to mix expeditions and adventures with detective and puzzle-solving elements for an engaging Tintin experience. It doesn’t just take you out to the sandy wastes, though. This adventure goes through Egypt, India, Arabia, and beyond as our favorite Belgian crime-stopper searches for a trafficking ring with a mysterious secret.
For Tintin megafans, there are physical limited edition and collector’s edition versions arriving on release date. The limited edition package includes the game, three postcards, and a steelbook, while the collector’s edition offers all that plus a 160-page art book, Tintin and Snowy figurine, and a notebook.
