Show talent Cillian Murphy and Paul Anderson voice their roles for the iconic series’ debut in virtual reality
London, UK - 9th February 2022 - Digital entertainment studio, Maze Theory, and global distributor and content creator, Banijay, in collaboration with Peaky Blinders’ official brand and series owner and series producer, Caryn Mandabach Productions, are proud to announce the launch of the first virtual reality game inspired by the BAFTA-winning drama in 2022.
Peaky Blinders fans and VR enthusiasts can – for the first time – infiltrate the Peaky Blinders underground world, coming face-to-face with much-loved and much-feared characters such as Tommy Shelby (voiced by Cillian Murphy) and Arthur Shelby (voiced by Paul Anderson), as well as host of other brand-new characters.

We’re very excited to be giving fans and VR enthusiasts access to the Peaky Blinders’ world, transporting them back to 1920s Birmingham and putting them in iconic locations such as The Garrison and Charlie’s Yard.”
Lex Scott, Commercial Director, Gaming & Gambling at Banijay Brands comments: “With huge anticipation for the upcoming series, the Peaky Blinders brand is stronger than ever, and this is a fantastic addition to its extensive portfolio.
