Multiplayer capture the flag shooter Last Flag announced for consoles, PC

by

As a devoted fan, I’m thrilled to share the news about Night Street Games, a studio co-founded by Imagine Dragons’ manager Mac Reynolds and frontman Dan Reynolds. They’ve unveiled their upcoming project, Last Flag, which is a five-versus-five, capture-the-flag-style third-person shooter. This exciting game is slated for release in 2026, though the specific consoles haven’t been disclosed yet. However, you can get an early taste by signing up for playtesting directly on the game’s official website!

In a press statement, Night Street Games CEO Mac Reynolds shared that when he was in third grade, his dream job was to run a video game studio. This ambition, though seemingly precise, seemed genuine. Dan and he would often play capture the flag at night in the woods with flashlights, friends, and high levels of excitement. The game they’re developing now, Last Flag, is their tribute to preserving the innocence and enchantment of that hide-and-seek adventure, made possible by the talented team they are fortunate to collaborate with.

Here is an overview of the game, via Night Street Games:

About

In the year 197X, the disco is shimmering, the audience is buzzing, as the grandest televised contest on Earth is moments away from starting.

Welcome to Last Flag—the game where fame, fortune, and your flag are all up for grabs.

Two teams. Two hidden flags. One shot at immortality.

Stash your flag. Find theirs. Snatch it. Run it back. Win.

The world is watching, so don’t forget to do it with style.

This isn’t war. This is showbiz.

Last Flag is a thrilling, five-versus-five team shooter that originates from Night Street Games, a studio jointly established by Mac and Dan Reynolds (yes, the Imagine Dragons bandmates). This game places Capture The Flag (CTF) at its core, offering an exciting, action-packed experience lasting approximately 20 minutes. It’s filled with nail-biting comebacks, last-minute victories, and heart-pounding moments.

You’re not disqualified; instead, you exit the stage temporarily, only to regroup in the waiting area. From there, you can swiftly return to operating a radar tower or head directly back to your base. (FWOOMP is used here as an onomatopoeic term for reappearing quickly.)

In a vibrant, disco-era-inspired cosmos, the game Last Flag places you in the role of a contestant on the globe’s most popular television game show, overseen by the enigmatic broadcasting tycoon named Victor Fex.

As soon as filming begins, athletes sprint onto an open field to conceal their own team’s banner while simultaneously searching for the opponent’s position by managing radar stations and scrutinizing the numerous secretive corners and recesses on the map.

When recording starts, players quickly run outdoors to hide their team’s flag and find where the other team is by using radars and looking in hidden areas of the map.

Capture the flag. Haul it home. Defend it for one minute to win it.

Regardless if you’re reveling in your triumph or grooving to the rhythm of a loss, there’s always the option to try again.
