10 Chambers, a Swedish studio composed of industry veterans known for PAYDAY: The Heist, PAYDAY 2, and GTFO, have announced Den of Wolves, a techno-thriller cooperative heist game from PAYDAY: The Heist and PAYDAY 2 designer Ulf Andersson. It will be available for PC via Steam. A release date was not announced.
“Having worked on heist games in the past which channeled classic bank robbery themes, we wanted to take Den of Wolves in an exciting new direction that allows us to elevate what a heist can be,” said 10 Chambers founder and creative director Ulf Andersson in a press release. “You can only rob so many banks. Den of Wolves‘ sci-fi themes and gameplay elements gave us the freedom to offer more variety in heists—incorporating corporate espionage, sabotage, and assassinations.”
10 Chambers co-founder and narrative and audio director Simon Viklund added, “We value the art of worldbuilding enormously, so even though Den of Wolves isn’t an open-world game, the history and narrative we’ve built around Midway City is considerable. We want Midway to feel like a believable city of the near future where late-stage capitalism has gone rampant, and corporations set the rules. As a player, you reside in Midway City’s underground domains without any real identity or documentation, building your allegiances to become a criminal entrepreneur through its black market of gig jobs.”
