Before Imagine Dragons, brothers Dan and Mac Reynolds always wanted to make videogames—now their first, Last Flag, is about to release
Brothers Dan and Mac Reynolds, best known as members of the band Imagine Dragons, are launching their first video game, Last Flag—an upcoming hero shooter dedicated to capture the flag gameplay. The game draws creative inspiration from established franchises including Team Fortress 2, Halo, and League of Legends, synthesizing mechanics from these acclaimed titles into a fresh, focused experience.
The Reynolds brothers have harbored long-standing ambitions to enter game development, and Last Flag represents the realization of that passion. The game centers on flag-hiding and flag-retrieval mechanics, providing a dedicated experience built around the classic capture the flag formula that motivates both brothers’ gaming interests.
Last Flag gained industry attention as a sponsor of last year’s PC Gaming Show: Most Wanted. The development team has been engaged with the gaming press, with PC Gamer recently spending time with the Reynolds brothers to discuss the game’s development, creative vision, and the journey from concept to near-release.
As the game approaches launch, Last Flag stands as a notable example of creators from outside traditional game development bringing their passion and perspective to the industry, delivering a streamlined hero shooter built around tight, compelling gameplay mechanics.
