Microids and Pendulo Studios have revealed the first details and screenshots for Tintin Reporter – Cigars of the Pharaoh. Inspired by an iconic adventure from the comic book series “The Adventures of Tintin” created by Hergé selling more than 275 million units worldwide, this new video game will sign the return of the famous reporter to the interactive medium.
After meeting with the Egyptologist Sophocles Sarcophagus during a Mediterranean cruise, the famous reporter decides to investigate the Pharaoh Kih-Oskh’s tomb. From Egypt to India and Arabia, Tintin and Snowy will follow a lead on narcotics trafficking all the way to the far east.
This new adventure game aims to immerse players into the captivating comic book’s universe and make them the heroes of an epic action adventure masterpiece. With an art direction faithful to Hergé’s drawings, this game is lining up to be a jubilant adaptation.
Stéphane Longeard, CEO of Microids, said:
“Being able to work on an adaptation of the famous Belgian reporter’s adventure is a delight. We started working on the game a few years ago and we cannot wait to show more to our players worldwide. If I had one thing to add, I’d say that we’ll do everything in our power to pay tribute to Hergé’s work and offer the fans the adaptation of their dreams”.
Nick Rodwell, Director of Moulinsart, added:
“The production of a new immersive video game for PC and consoles carries the adventure legacy of the most famous reporter. Our ambition is first and foremost entertaining and friendly to please the whole family. Microids is the perfect partner to accompany Tintin for this new adventure!”
Microids plans to release this game in 2023.
Enjoy!

Very excited for this. We need more cartoon games. Secret of unicorn is seriously underrated. One of hidden gems of former ubisoft.
Wow, I’m just hearing about this game! Does it span both books in the storyline or just Secret of the Unicorn?
I guess we’ll have to wait to find out more about this one. In the meantime you can play ‘Adventures of tintin secrets of the unicorn’, which is based on the movie actually, so not sure if it truly follows books. But gameplay & story is fantastic and I’m sure you’ll have a great time.
Yeah, just bought a key from some key shop.
Not totally satisfied with the way the characters are designed, but still VERY happy to see Tintin coming back to the gaming world. I’m very rarely excited about games these days.
I always thought Tintin stories were underused and could be great basis for many games.
Can’t wait to see the result!?
If this game is done right…it could give stiff challenge to the likes of uncharted (if they are planning for another one in the series)
As much as I am excited for this project, I think this’ll be much lower budget-ed than Uncharted. The only game upcoming games aimed at challenging Uncharted are the next Tomb Raider game and microsoft’s Indiana Jones game.
Love Tintin! Hope this is a nice mystery-adventure game…
Tintin looks too young. He should be in his late teens/early 20’s, but here he looks 13ish.
