The Game Awards 2025 delivered a torrent of surprises, but few ignited as much raw excitement as No Law, a first-person open-world shooter RPG from Swedish studio Neon Giant – the team behind 2021’s cyberpunk hit The Ascent. Unveiled with a gritty reveal trailer during the December 11 broadcast, the game plunged viewers into the neon-drenched underbelly of Port Desire, a sprawling coastal metropolis where “neon sleaze” trumps regulations and players forge their own brutal justice. Published by KRAFTON – the powerhouse behind PUBG: Battlegrounds – No Law is already wishlist bait on Steam, Epic Games Store, PlayStation Store, and Xbox, signaling massive pre-launch buzz just weeks after its debut.
The 90-second trailer, scored by BAFTA-winning composer Jesper Kyd (Assassin’s Creed, Borderlands), sets a cyber-noire tone with shadowy figures navigating smog-choked alleys, explosive mech takedowns, and vent-crawling stealth ops. Voiced by Gavin Drea – the gravelly Male V from Cyberpunk 2077 – protagonist Grey Harker growls through a revenge-fueled rampage, embodying the tagline: “Reap what you sow.” Powered by Unreal Engine 5, the visuals blend lush, jungle-overgrown vertical slums with luxury high-rises, promising a “cybergrunge” density that feels alive and reactive.
At its core, No Law thrusts players into Grey Harker’s boots: a battle-scarred ex-military veteran who ditched black-ops for a quiet life tending rooftop plants – until thugs shatter his peace, stealing his livelihood and dragging him back into Port Desire’s meat grinder. This lawless port city, perched on cliffs where three nations’ borders clash, thrives on corruption, vice, and factional “Mayors” who rule through intimidation. Arms dealers hawk wares in bustling markets, gangs prowl fog-shrouded alleys, and secrets fester in every shadow – from hidden vents to smog-veiled spires.
Gameplay fuses visceral FPS action with deep RPG layers. Earn XP to unlock skill trees for lockpicking, hacking, weapon mastery, or vertical traversal gadgets, tailoring builds for stealthy ambushes, tactical hacks, or all-out destruction. Enemies adapt via advanced AI – reacting to noise, sightlines, and pressure – turning tight corridors into high-stakes chess matches or bullet-hell spectacles. Choices ripple outward: Spare a snitch for intel? Betray an ally for loot? Decisions compound into branching narratives, multiple endings, and a world that “listens” – NPCs comment on sloppy kills, alliances shift, and paths unlock or seal based on your moral compass (or lack thereof). No pacifist run guaranteed; combat skews chaotic, with “smile-inducing” gore akin to Bulletstorm.
Neon Giant’s 24-person team – ex-vets from Far Cry 3, Bulletstorm, and modern Wolfenstein – evolved from The Ascent‘s top-down twin-stick frenzy to this immersive first-person pivot. Co-creative directors Tor Frick and Arcade Berg emphasize “density over vastness”: Unlike Cyberpunk 2077‘s sprawling Night City, Port Desire prioritizes intimacy – a “personal, reactive” playground where every action echoes. “We’re not aiming for a vast open world, but a very dense one,” Frick told PC Gamer, molding cyberpunk fiction to fit “whatever the game needs.” Berg added: “Violence is spectacle… the kind that makes you smile,” blending Judge Dredd grit with Max Payne noir. Managing Director Claës af Burén hailed it as “bigger, more reactive, and more personal” than The Ascent.
Platforms span PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S – no exclusives, full parity. Single-player only, mature-rated for gore, drugs, and sensuality. Wishlisting surged post-reveal; Steam page exploded with “Add to List” clicks, while X lit up with hype.
X reactions were electric. Game Informer’s trailer post racked 465 likes: “Open world cyberpunk FPS from The Ascent devs.” Shinobi602’s breakdown – choices, cybergrunge, reactive AI – hit 4,452 likes. Pirat_Nation’s clip: 9,065 likes, dubbing it “Cyberpunk open-world.” The Seal gushed: “Atmosphere and combat incredible… Gavin Drea as lead!” (2,656 likes). RinoTheBouncer polled favorites, with No Law topping lists alongside Resident Evil Requiem. PlayStation’s teaser: 3,468 likes. Skeptics? Minimal – most crave this “intimate” antidote to bloated AAA.
No release window yet, fueling speculation. Neon Giant’s lean crew and UE5 ambitions mirror The Ascent‘s four-year dev cycle; insiders eye 2027-2028, post-2026 showcases. KRAFTON’s PUBG clout ensures polish, but fans brace for delays amid TGA’s vaporware ghosts. Official channels – Discord, TikTok, Instagram – tease more.
In a post-Cyberpunk era craving fresh neon, No Law positions as the “John Wick of RPG shooters” – personal stakes, spectacle violence, endless replayability. As Port Desire beckons, one truth reigns: In a city with no laws, only your choices define the harvest. Wishlist now – the sleaze awaits.
