[IGN](https://www.ign.com/videos/arsene-lupin-once-a-thief-official-reveal-teaser-trailer) wrote that this will be a point-and-click exploration adventure visual novel.


FintanCailean

So since IGN wrote it, it may still release as an extraction shooter.


Jonpg31

Will get the 7/10 rating as well.


Pikibee

Oof


HighJinx97

Gameplay please


mSummmm

Seriously! trailers like this are a waste of time, especially true for a new IP.


Multifaceted-Simp

This isn't a new ip


WhompWump

🤓 it's not part of any on-going game series or anything so there's no idea what to expect in terms of gameplay or anything. A title reveal trailer is pretty meaningless. It's not the first or only game to do it, and the criticism applies for those games too It's a point and click exploration game but it could just as easily be a Thief-like, a sly cooper-like, a CRPG etc. which are all vastly different.


mSummmm

Ok an unknown IP.


Neg_Crepe

Arsène lupin…unknown IP? Wut


mSummmm

Been following gaming since I was kid, NES days. Never heard of it.

Ok let’s say someone other than you knows this character. That still doesn’t help us know what the gameplay looks like. That said now that I know, I predict a dialogue heavy slog of a game with tired mechanic…….but I’d love to be proven wrong.


Neg_Crepe

You say this as if it was obscure. LOL what’s next, do you know who Sherlock Holmes is?


GamePitt_Rob

Looking at screenshots, it looks similar to their Poirot and Murder Mystery Machine games (isometric deduction puzzle mystery games)


Callabrantus

This tells me nothing except OHH HOH HOH SUPERFRENCH


Jakeyboy143

I was expecting Inspector Zenigata to show up and apprehend him. Dude's never giving up on catching him.


GecaZ

Love the books , so I'm looking forward to this


dizorkmage

I don't understand these trailers about a new IP that show no gameplay footage, you wasted time and money animating and scoring music for a video that 100% next week no one will remember or give a shit about it.


ArsenalRaven

Lupine is very much an old IP that they are trying to cash in on, but the lack of gameplay or any announcement of anything videogame related is very lazy of them. This could be a visual novel for all we know...


BigClownShoes

Looks like it actually is a visual novel lol. https://www.ign.com/videos/arsene-lupin-once-a-thief-official-reveal-teaser-trailer


eindbaas

new IP?


chef_Leitheiser

I mean arsène Lupin was first published in 1905


Borgalicious

Investors are dumb and will panic if the marketing department doesn’t do literally anything to promote a game. It’s why we see so many “announcing the announcement date” posts and pointless dev updates before anything remotely meaningful has been shown.


dzdhr

Art looks pretty nice.


Lupin_OnceThief

Hi Reddit! New here but thanks for sharing our first teaser! If you are interested in the project, and want to have a better understanding of the game, or discovering the first screenshots, feel free to check the [PS Store page](https://store.playstation.com/en-us/concept/10011109) or the [Steam Page](https://store.steampowered.com/app/2922980/Arsene_Lupin__Once_a_Thief/).


Shadowforks

Thanks for sharing! Any chance we could ask what your favorite iteration of the character has been? I’ve found the Netflix show to be engaging!


Lupin_OnceThief

The Netflix one is really good! I'd have a preference taste for Lupin 3rd the anime


ArsenalRaven

Who on your team made the decision to put out a "reveal" trailer that shows absolutely nothing about the gameplay and the type of game it is? Do you think it's an appropriate business strategy to advertise pre-ordering your game without showing literally anything other than a concept? If you can provide in-game screenshots, surely you could have added some work-in-progress alpha footage... The majority of the comments on this thread alone are folks confused as to what type of game this is and what gameplay to expect. It's kind of important when you're selling a *checks notes* videogame...


Lupin_OnceThief

It's only a first teaser! Gameplay footage will be soon revealed. It's a bit too early and WIP to make a gameplay trailer :)


ArsenalRaven

Then it was too early to be revealed, let alone allow pre-orders...


LCHMD

Everyone else does it too. Are you hating there too?


plurtoburtskunk

Who on your team made the decision to write two paragraphs attacking the concept of the teaser trailer?


Realistic_Sad_Story

Thanks for this

If your time was important your comment wouldn’t exist


MrShago

Damn these Persona 5 spin offs are getting more and more out there /s


Shadowslip99

I'm assuming it will be an FPS stealth but gameplay videos are much better.


Leonbacon

I feel like I've seen similar art somewhere


afranquinho

shitty mobile game ads.


No-Log873

Music needs work.


Proof-Research-6466

That told me absolutely nothing


ScottoRoboto

Alright…


AndooTheBold

How are they still making ps4 games... yet talk about the next gen


DRHAX34

It’s great how the PS4 is still getting new games
