At the Summer Game Fest, Mac and Dan Reynolds, influenced by nostalgic memories of childhood games, unveiled Last Flag, a 5v5 capture the flag shooter. They recall, “We played capture the flag in the woods at night with flashlights, and this game is our homage to that exhilarating experience.” The game’s mechanics allow for innovative gameplay, including hiding your team’s flag in tactical locations, while also incentivizing capturing key points on the map for strategic advantages.

Last Flag is set for release on Steam and the Epic Games Store, and fans can expect an alpha version later in 2025.
