‘Arsene Lupin: Once A Thief’ Welcomes Fans To The World Of Thieves

by Sage Ashford

It can be easy to forget that Lupin isn’t just a successful anime franchise, but a fictional character with roots dating back to the early 1900s. However, Blazing Griffin and Microids are looking to remind people with their upcoming adventure/puzzle title, Arsene Lupin: Once A Thief.  In this game, players will take on the role of both Arsene Lupin and his rival, Detective Ganimard.  Throughout the game, players will be able to live through some of Lupin’s most famous cases, finding a way to pull off impressive heists or cracking the case depending on what role they’re in.
