The BBC’s drama Peaky Blinders is being turned into a virtual reality game.

The VR video game will allow players to interact with characters from the series and explore locations from the show.

The game has been created by Peaky Blinders producers and immersive studio Maze Theory, and tasks players with infiltrating a street gang and undertaking a covert mission.

If successful, payers will “earn their cap and be a fully-fledged member of the Peaky Blinders”.

Series creator Steven Knight said: “I’m really excited by the prospect of Peaky Blinders entering new territory.

“People who love the show will love the opportunity to immerse themselves in the world in such a total way.”

It is not yet known if cast members, including Cillian Murphy and Helen McRory, will be involved in the game.

Subtitled The King’s Ransom, the game is due out in spring 2020.
