Developer Anonymous Labs has teamed with Banijay Rights to develop a blockchain-based video game inspired by the hit TV series “Peaky Blinders,” the companies announced Thursday. The game, slated for release in 2026, will immerse players in Birmingham after World War I with interactive experiences, action sequences, and tokenized in-game cy. The original crime drama is inspired by the historical street gang of the same name. No further details about blockchain network, economic design, or gameplay have been released.
“’Peaky Blinders’ is a cultural phenomenon, and we are excited to expand its universe into the Web3 gaming space with the expertise of Anonymous Labs,” said Banijay Rights Group Director of Licensing and Merchandising David Christopher, in a statement. “This project represents a new way for fans to engage with the brand while embracing the future of digital entertainment.”
“Peaky Blinders” spanned six seasons and aired on BBC between 2013 and 2022. The show, which starred actors like Cillian Murphy, Sam Neill, and Helen McCrory, was distributed globally and is currently available broadly via Netflix. Anonymous Labs previously spearheaded the launch of a BNB Chainmeme coin based on the “Simon’s Cat” web cartoon.
The CAT token currently has a market cap of $45 million, per data from CoinGecko, up 41% over the last two weeks amid a broader market rebound—but still down 16% on the month. “We are thrilled to bring ‘Peaky Blinders’ into Web3. Our success with Simon’s Cat has proven the value of integrating world-class IP into this space,” said Anonymous Labs executives Joris Van Velzen and Wojciech Gruszka, in a statement. “This deal shows that major IP brands are embracing blockchain as the future.”
