Hit TV show Peaky Blinders is getting its own video game, it has been confirmed.

The gangster drama which stars Cork native Cillian Murphy, set to return for its fifth season soon, is being made into a video game.

Production studio Endemol has partnered with publisher Curve Digital and developer FuturLab to create the game, Birmingham Live reports.

It will be the very first video game based on the award-winning TV series, which focuses on the Brummie gang.
