We’re well up for a decent Tintin video game. We’d very much like to travel the globe too. Which is all a bit of luck really as Tintin Reporter – Cigars of the Pharaoh releases to, most of, the world.
Available right now on Xbox Series X|S is Tintin Reporter – Cigars of the Pharaoh. It’s priced at £41.74 from the Xbox Store, optimised for current gen consoles. It seems like there is no love for Xbox One though. You should also be finding this one on PlayStation (PS4 and PS5) and PC if you prefer those formats.
Wherever you play, Tintin Reporter – Cigars of the Pharaoh looks to be the Tintin game we have been crying out for. Created by Tintinimaginaio and the Microids team, this one has been fully inspired by The Adventures of Tintin; an adventure that has sold some 275 million copies worldwide.
A new Tintin video game
Them’s big numbers and it should mean there is a bit of an audience for a video game featuring Tintin and his little dog, Snowy. Better still is when you take in the premise of this one. See, in Tintin Reporter – Cigars of the Pharaoh, you’ll get to experience some extraordinary adventures…
It focuses on a time after meeting Professor Sarcophagus whilst cruising the Mediterranean Sea, as the famous reporter sets out in search of the tomb of the Pharaoh Kih-Oskh. What are the dark secrets hidden in the tomb? You’ll find out by travelling from Egypt to India, passing through Arabia, as Tintin & Snowy end up investigating a gigantic drug trafficking network throughout the East.
As you’d suspect, all the facets of the Tintin universe and a story full of twists and turns that are part of Hergé’s great creative legacy will be present. Tintin Reporter – Cigars of the Pharaoh immerses the player in the heart of a mysterious Egypt and other lands of infinite beauty.
Combining all the best elements of adventure and investigation games,
If anything, Tintin Reporter – Cigars of the Pharaoh offers a unique and innovative gameplay experience that should allow everyone to live the adventure like a real reporter!
