If you have a soft spot for GTA-style open-world games, pay attention.

Swedish developer Liquid Swords dropped a few screenshots of their upcoming project on their official X account on the 25th. They followed up on the 28th with a 10-second clip offering a glimpse into the world they are building.

Liquid Swords is a fresh face based in Stockholm, Sweden. It was founded in 2020 by Christofer Sundberg, the co-founder of Avalanche Studios—the studio known for the Just Cause series—after he decided to strike out on his own.

The released materials showcase the urban sprawl that will serve as the game's setting. You can spot everything from debris-strewn streets that evoke a gritty, Harlem-esque vibe, to crumbling buildings, vintage signage, and traffic flowing through the roads. The scale looks rather ambitious, featuring factories, bridges, and construction sites, all rendered with the kind of meticulous detail expected from Unreal Engine 5.

Players have been quick to chime in, with comments ranging from "It gives off a strong GTA 4 vibe" and "Is this set in 2000s Boston?" to eager fans saying, "I can't wait for the release date."

While we are still in the dark regarding the game's title or specific genre, Sundberg has previously stated that while it is an open-world game, "it is not a game like GTA." Expect the actual gameplay loop to steer clear of Rockstar's well-trodden path.
