Day of the Devs: Plan, parkour, and reclaim real looted African artifacts from Western museums in Relooted, coming to PC and Xbox
Teamwork makes the heist work!
Johannesburg, South Africa, 7th June 2025 – Just revealed at Day of the Devs: Summer Game Fest Edition, Relooted is an Africanfuturist heist game, in which you plan, parkour, and reclaim real looted African Artifacts from Western museums. South African studio Nyamakop have been hard at work since the success of their debut title Semblance, and are launching Relooted on PC and Xbox.
Missed the show? Take a closer look at the trailer here:
Near the end of the 21st century, things looked bright with the signing of the Transatlantic Returns Treaty, promising the repatriation of African artifacts from Western museums, until said museums found a loophole (and promptly exploited it).
When life gives you lemons and museums pulling shady moves, it’s time to chuck the lemons back at life and try a new, stealthier form of diplomacy. You’ve got 70 of these artifacts to (re)loot, all of which exist in real-life and are of huge cultural, historical, and spiritual significance to the people they were taken from.
Any good heist needs a crew, and as it happens, you’ll get acquainted with quite the cast – all from different African countries, walks of life, and with different skillsets. Case the joint, get in, get out, parkour-style, and hopefully with one more culturally significant artifact ready to return to its rightful place.
Features:
Pull off heists: Plan and prepare your escape route by solving puzzles and placing teammates in the right place. When you’re ready, take the artifact and escape with Nomali’s flow-based parkour abilities.
Recruit a crew: Meet and gradually recruit different team members with their unique abilities.
Explore an Africanfuturist setting: With a Hideout based in South Africa, you’ll see parts of Johannesburg imagined in the future
Reclaim Real Artifacts: Recover 70 artifacts that exist in real-life, all of which are of huge cultural, historical, and spiritual significance to the people they were taken from.
