Tintin Reporter Cigars of the Pharaoh: Pendulo Studios is developing the game with Microids, 1st video

After announcing the postponement of Flashback 2 to 2023 at the start of the afternoon, Microids is back with good news this time: the reveal of a new game kept still mysterious in its drawers, namely a new game Tintin. Called Tintin Reporter: Cigars of the Pharaoh, it will be a third-person action-adventure game developed by Pendulo Studios, known for the Runaway series, Yesterday and more recently Blacksad and Alfred Hitcock Vertigo. As the title reveals, this game is inspired by the eponymous comic where our Belgian reporter goes in search of the tomb of the pharaoh Kih-Oskh, accompanied by Snowy his dog. Other characters will obviously be present such as Captain Haddock or even Professor Siclone. Microids promises a game that will take us on a journey from Egypt to India, via Arabia, knowing that this story will deal with a narcotics affair in the East.



At Microids, as at Moulinsart which owns the rights to Tintin, we welcome such a partnership.

For Stéphane Longeard, CEO of Microids: "It's a real pleasure to be able to adapt this adventure of the famous Belgian reporter. With the Spanish studio Pendulo Studios, we started production a few years ago and we can't wait to show it more to players around the world. I would even say that we are doing everything we can to honor Hergé's work and we want to offer fans the adaptation they have always dreamed of."

For Nick Rodwell, Director of Moulinsart: "The development of a new PC and console game in a fun, immersive and interactive environment contributes to the continuity of the Adventure of the most famous of reporters. The ambition is above all to be entertaining and friendly in order to reach a large family audience. Microids is the ideal partner to accompany Tintin in this new adventure."

The release of Tintin Reporter: Cigars of the Pharaoh is scheduled for 2023 on PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and of course Nintendo Switch. Here is the first video and the first images too, which announces a game with neat graphics.
