Get Ready to Heist in Relooted
The South African studio Nyamakop has unveiled its upcoming title, Relooted, during Day of the Devs: Summer Game Fest Edition. Known for their debut hit Semblance, the team returns with a daring Africanfuturist heist game that challenges players to reclaim looted African artifacts from Western museums.
Set near the end of the 21st century, the game imagines a future where the Transatlantic Returns Treaty was meant to bring back Africa’s stolen heritage. But when museums twist legal loopholes to delay or deny repatriation, diplomacy takes an unconventional turn. Enter your crew.
In Relooted, players assemble a team of specialists from across the African continent, each with unique skills and backgrounds. Together, you plan intricate heists, infiltrate heavily guarded institutions, and retrieve 70 real-world artifacts, each carrying deep cultural, historical, and spiritual significance.
Blending stealth gameplay with fast-paced parkour mechanics, the game encourages creative approaches to every mission. From casing the location to executing the escape, each step demands strategy, precision, and teamwork.
Nyamakop combines social commentary with slick action, crafting a game that feels both grounded and imaginative. It’s a tribute to heritage, resistance, and the power of community.
Relooted is coming soon to PC and Xbox. Until then, players can add the game to their wishlist on Steam, the Epic Games Store, and the Microsoft Store.
