10 Upcoming PS5 & Xbox Series X Open-World Games You Need To Know About

Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn is an upcoming action role-playing open-world game from A44 Games. And it already looks like one of the most stellar demonstrations of the immense beauty next-gen technologies will be capable of spitting out.

The game will see players taking control of Nor Vanek, a member of a coalition attempting to save mankind by battling the world's Old Gods. Napoleonic styles inspired the 19th-century aesthetics of the game, and it's been made clear in the stills and trailers released so far that A44 are attempting to present the game with a glossier, more cinematic feel than other open-world titles.

The term 'flintlock fantasy' refers to a specific subgenre within the world of fantasy that takes influence from the 16th-19th centuries in Western history. This untapped slice of the market is set to be brought to life in The Siege of Dawn and its three different open-world regions.

Locations will directly be impacted by the choices and missions players complete in the game. Not only will new dialogue paths, items and locations be unlocked as with other open-world titles, but the entire look of a place will be impacted depending on the outcomes players help fashion together.

The latest estimates over the game's release still tease 'early' 2023.
