AI Summary
Liquid Swords has unveiled Samson, an Unreal Engine 5-powered open-world crime action title. Players control a desperate criminal navigating dangerous street encounters and high-speed chases. Despite comparisons to other crime games, the developers insist this experience is unique.

The GTA-esque new title from the creators of Just Cause has finally shown its cards.
Swedish developer Liquid Swords pulled the curtain back on their new project, 'SAMSON', during the PC Gaming Show on the 5th. Built on Unreal Engine 5, this crime-filled open-world action romp follows the titular 'SAMSON', a criminal struggling to save his sister from a hostage situation after falling into significant debt.
The accompanying trailer gives us a cheeky glimpse at the gameplay. The cityscapes are rendered in meticulous detail, and you can expect to tear through the streets in high-speed car chases with the local police.
Things get a bit more hands-on when you cross paths with rival gangs. You can kick, elbow, or grapple enemies into submission. The physics are quite something too; watch as enemies fly into convenience store fridges—shattering glass—or smash through fences with satisfying precision.



Interestingly, Christopher Sundberg, the founder of Liquid Swords and a veteran of the Just Cause series, clarified back in October that while it is an open-world game, it is 'not a GTA-clone.' We might be in for a rather different flavour of gameplay, then.
SAMSON is slated for PC, though whether it will support Korean remains up in the air. We are still waiting on a firm release date and details regarding potential console ports.

저스트 코즈 개발자 GTA풍 신작이 구체적인 모습을 드러냈다.
스웨덴 개발사 리퀴드 소드는 지난 5일 PC 게이밍 쇼를 통해 자사 신작 '삼손'을 공식 발표했다. 언리얼 엔진 5로 제작된 범죄 오픈월드 액션게임으로, 큰 빚을 지고 친누나까지 인질로 잡히게 된 범죄자 '삼손'이 고군분투하는 이야기를 담았다.
함께 공개된 트레일러에서는 게임 장면 일부를 확인할 수 있다. 세밀한 그래픽으로 표현된 도시 전경이 눈에 띄며, 그 안에서 플레이어는 차를 타고 도심을 질주하거나, 경찰차와 치열한 추격전을 벌일 수도 있다.
때로는 다른 범죄 집단과 충돌이 발생하기도 한다. 적을 발로 차거나 팔꿈치로 가격할 수 있으며, 붙잡은 채 관절을 꺾는 그래플링 기술도 사용할 수 있다. 공격을 당해 날아간 적이 편의점 냉장고와 부딪히며 유리가 깨지거나, 울타리가 박살나는 등 정교한 표현도 돋보인다.



한편, 저스트 코즈 개발자이자 리퀴드 소드 창립자 크리스토퍼 선드버그는 지난 10월 스크린샷 공개 당시 "오픈월드는 맞지만 GTA 같은 게임은 아니다"라고 밝힌 바 있다. 때문에 게임성 측면에서는 GTA와 다를 가능성도 있다.
삼손은 PC로 출시되며, 한국어 지원 여부는 미정이다. 구체적인 발매일과 PC 외 출시 플랫폼에 대해서도 아직 알려지지 않았다.
