This week at Gamescom, a new trailer for Neon Giant’s upcoming cyberpunk videogame No Law was unveiled. Set in Port Desire, a city made in Unreal Engine 5, the game is a story-based first-person shooter from the makers of the excellent The Ascent.

From the publisher –

Welcome to Port Desire, a city that doesn’t belong to anyone, but where everyone wants a piece. You’re Grey Harker, an ex-military attempting to live a quiet life after near fatal injuries in the field. All you want now is peace – but in a city of no laws, what you want isn’t always what you get.

The Ascent is a fantastic solo and co-op twin-stick shooter RPG set in a cyberpunk arcology. With No Law, Neon Giant are upping the cyberpunk ante with a much grander and expansive harbour city in a cyber-noir style. Rather than just a generic neon cyberpunk city, based on the trailer it looks like Port Desire is a vibrant, varied location with visually distinct districts. The setting looks busy and authentically lived-in, with a real sense of scale in terms of height as well as distance. We’re hearing that the game allows you to approach missions in different ways, with variable tactics, and that the decisions you make will have an impact on the narrative of the game.

The massive success of Cyberpunk 2077 is really beginning to manifest now, with a number of story-based first person shooter cyberpunk titles in development. Gamescom is currently in progress in Cologne, Germany, and several cyberpunk titles are likely to be presented, including Neo Berlin 2087 and Sprawl Zero. We may well see news on more videogames in the genre, and we’ll report back with any new announcements.

No Law is scheduled for release in 2027 for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, and you can Wishlist now on Steam. You can check out the trailer below.
