Mighty Yell and Skybound Games have announced that The Big Con, their 90s based teenage crime caper, will be launching later this summer for PC, Xbox One and Xbox Series X | S. It looks very “90s”, with a font and colour scheme looking like it was ripped straight from Nickelodeon, but don’t take my word for it. Check out the gameplay trailer at the top of the page.
What Is The Big Con?
As mentioned, The Big Con is a heavily 90s influenced crime adventure that’s big on comedy and also maybe feelings too. You play as the teenager Ali who’s looking to save her mum’s video store from the hands of some loan sharks. In order to raise the funds required to buy back the store, Ali teams with the local con artist Ted, pilfering and swindling their way across the country.
What’s The Gameplay Like?
Would it be fair to The Big Con to coin a genre term of “fraud-’em-up”? Taking the money off of unsuspecting marks requires many different approaches, whether that’s pickpocketing, breaking and entering, wearing disguises, being sneaky or using your charm to talk your way into and out of situations.
Mighty Yell’s Game Director Dave Proctor said the following about The Big Con in a press release: “Making The Big Con has been an absolute blast. It’s really been an incredible experience for our team that while trying to make our players laugh, we have made each other laugh just as much. I’m really excited for more people to get their hands on the game; to see this wild, rad trip into the 90’s we’ve created and hopefully have some fun (and maybe some feelings) along the way.”
