About the project

A new AAA multiplayer, squad-based cyberpunk shooter is in development using Unreal Engine 5, set in a dystopian future where authoritarian AI rules over a decaying city. Factions of rogue law enforcers and street gangs battle for control.

The game is created by a team of veteran developers from top-tier studios. The studio is headquartered in Austin, Texas, with a fully remote, globally distributed team across the US, Australia, and Europe.

We follow a Developer‑First ethos , focusing on small, empowered teams with the freedom to push creative and technical boundaries.

The studio recently secured $6.3M in Series A funding (as of June 2025), bringing total investment to approximately $11M .
