Developer Mighty Yell and publisher Skybound Games have announced 90s-influenced comic adventure game The Big Con launching for Xbox consoles and PC later this month.

Playing as teenage con-artist Ali, you’re trying to save your Mom’s video store from unscrupulous loan sharks. Promised are plenty of colourful puzzles and dialogue as you travel cross-country. Being a con-artist, you can expect a fair amount of criminal activities in the game. These include sneaking, pickpocketing, disguises and more.

The game also boasts an impressive voice cast, including Destiny 2 and Apex Legends actress Erika Ishii as main character Ali. She’ll also be joined by Telltale’s The Walking Dead‘s Dave Fennoy who’ll be voicing the role of ‘Rad Ghost’.  While this is studio Mighty Yell’s first game, the studio boasts talent who’ve worked on indie titles Jazzpunk and Guacamelee! 2.

You can check out a trailer announcing the game’s voice cast just below. The Big Con will launch on August 31 on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PC.
