Imagine Dragons Launching 'Pure' Capture the Flag Game

Imagine Dragons, known for their hit songs like "Radioactive" and "Demons," are venturing into the gaming world with their new studio, Night Street Games. Founded by lead singer Dan Reynolds and manager Mac Reynolds, this venture fulfills a lifelong dream of developing video games. Their first project is called Last Flag, a third-person hero shooter that reimagines Capture the Flag gameplay. Set in a dystopian game show context, players will engage in strategic flag retrieval between two teams. The game promises unique mechanics, including the ability to capture towers and hero upgrades, aimed at creating exciting, sharable gaming moments. Last Flag is projected for release in 2026 and will initially be available on PC.

Last Flag is a third-person hero shooter that centers around a strategic Capture the Flag competition, where teams of five try to retrieve and protect flags. It incorporates various game mechanics to enhance gameplay experiences while drawing inspiration from the developers' childhood memories of playing Capture the Flag.

Last Flag brings a fresh take on the Capture the Flag genre, which has roots in classic games and tournaments. Imagine Dragons have previously contributed to gaming through collaborations involving their music, indicating their deep connection to gaming culture. The studio has recruited talent from established gaming companies, ensuring that they have the expertise needed to create a polished game that resonates with players.
