Swedish developer Neon Giant, renowned for their 2021 title The Ascent, has unveiled an exciting new project titled NO LAW during The Game Awards 2025. This fresh offering diverges from their previous work, transforming into a first-person, open-world shooter RPG. The game’s aesthetic and style closely echo the cyberpunk vibes seen in CD Projekt RED’s Cyberpunk 2077.
Enter the World of NO LAW
In NO LAW, players step into the shoes of Grey Harker, a former soldier seeking peace in a troubled world. Harker’s tranquil life is disrupted, forcing him to rely on his combat skills and tech gear to reclaim what was taken from him and challenge the city’s corrupt system. Set in Port Desire, a port city perched above a turbulent sea, players will explore a neon-lit world rife with intrigue and colorful characters. Here, every player decision shapes the narrative, promising a dynamic and reactive game environment.
Player Choice and Consequences
The developers emphasize that every choice in NO LAW matters. Whether you decide to aid a friend or eliminate a foe, your actions have consequences in this anarchic city. The game promises a unique experience with each playthrough, where choices affect alliances and story outcomes. NO LAW promises an immersive shooter experience defined not only by its intense combat but also by its rich narrative and moral complexity.
Powered by Unreal Engine 5, the game offers visceral combat and extensive player agency. Players can customize their gameplay style, whether through stealth, precision, or sheer destruction. The ability to upgrade military gear and experiment with sci-fi tools ensures that every mission can be tailored to personal preferences, crafting a thrilling tale of vengeance and survival.
Development and Technical Details
The project is a significant step forward for Neon Giant, building on the worldbuilding and storytelling foundations laid with The Ascent.
