Acclaimed South African developer, Nyamakop have returned to the spotlight with the unveiling of their latest and long in development project – Relooted.

Renowned for the excellent Semblance which was a multiplatform launch almost a decade ago, the developers revealed Relooted as part of Day of the Devs showcase.

Sithe Ncube (Producer) and Mokhalaka Moteetee (3D Character Animator), who presented the games premise, which centers on reclaiming African artifacts that have been rehoused at Western museums and private collections all around the world.

“A French government report estimated that 90% of sub-Saharan African cultural heritage is in the possession of Western collections. That is millions upon millions of deeply important cultural, spiritual, and personal artifacts—including human remains—that aren’t in their rightful place,” Ncube said.

The single player experience of Relooted is intriguing. A crew. A job. A plan. Toss those ingredients together, and you’ve got yourself a classic heist — but with a few twists. Your crew members are everyday citizens with pretty normal careers  from different countries in Africa. The job is to liberate African artifacts from Western museums. And the plan? Well, that’s up to you to create.

Relooted doesn’t have a release date but is available to wishlist today on
Steam, Epic Game Store and Xbox Series X|S.
