Liquid Swords, the innovative Swedish studio founded by Cristofer Sundberg, has finally pulled back the curtain on their ambitious first project, Samson: A Tyndalston Story. Debuting at the PC Gaming Show: Most Wanted 2025, this game promises a gritty narrative set in a photorealistic open world crafted with Unreal Engine 5.
Samson’s Dilemma
A year after teasing us with stunning visuals, Liquid Swords sheds light on the intense journey awaiting players. The game follows Samson McCray, who must traverse the perilous streets of Tyndalston to repay a colossal debt owed to dangerous individuals. His sister’s life hangs in the balance, pushing Samson into a race against time where every choice matters. The debt grows daily, and decisions have permanent consequences, forcing players to strategize their actions wisely.
A World That Reacts
Unlike typical open world titles, Tyndalston’s districts demand focus and urgency, as the city responds dynamically to Samson’s actions. Police react to chaos, and interactions with various faces and factions will shape the narrative. The journey is designed to be concise, resonating with the price point of $24.99, while unraveling the dramatic story of a fractured family seeking redemption.
Combat and Customization
The gameplay emphasizes grounded combat, with a mix of hand-to-hand brawls and high-octane car chases. Samson can utilize environmental elements and improvised tools in fights, ensuring each encounter is unique and impactful. The game also features a skill tree with over 25 upgrades, allowing players to customize Samson’s fighting style to their preference.
Available exclusively on PC, Samson: A Tyndalston Story is set for an early 2026 release through Steam and the Epic Games Store. Though currently no other platforms are confirmed, excitement builds as gamers anticipate this fresh experience in a reactive, story-driven world.
