Sir You Are Being Hunted. Shall I Fetch Your Stealth Jacket?

A gentleman can’t know everything about the world of gaming, so it’s no surprise that a ‘reinvented edition’ of Sir You Are Being Hunted is coming to the PC and Nintendo Switch for Q1 2022. But I’m no gentleman.

A first-person stealth survival game set in the Blighty countryside, you’re being hunted by some robot pursuers, intent on mounting your head or something metallic. Just speculating.

Funded in 2012, launched on Steam and then getting a multiplayer bolt-on in 2014, Sir You Are Being Hunted gets a facelift courtesy of original developers Big Robot and publishers Den Of Thieves Games B.V. Besides a face list for PC and reinstating the multiplayer servers, Switch users also get a slice of the action.

Nearly a decade on from the original game, it’s a surprise and a wonder to be able to return to our beloved world of robo-murder, tea, and biscuits, and to finally see a Big Robot game appear on console…This new, remasted title is a standalone game with original features, new controls, new quality of life options, and, of course, modernised visuals.

I was going to post the recent trailer, but it’s not a good marketing piece. Instead, have a look at the pre-alpha images in this post and over at Steam.

Sir You Are Being Hunted will be out in February 2022.
