Following its delay earlier this year, Brenda and John Romero’s intriguing mobster-themed strategy game Empire of Sin finally has a release date; it’ll be making its way to Xbox One, PS4, Switch, and PC – possibly in a tommy gun spray of bullets – on 1st December.
Empire of Sin unfolds across the seedier side of life in 1920s Prohibition-era Chicago, with players attempting to build up their fledging crime empire – using a combination of business smarts, intimidation, and, where necessary, extreme violence – and “schmooze, coerce, seduce, threaten, or kill” their way to becoming mob king or queen of the city.
Budding crime bosses will need to assemble a crew of loyal cohorts – each with their own traits and relationships – in order to keep their business ticking over, and have a number of tools and tricks at their disposal in their quest for citywide domination.
