Announced with new trailers during both Gamescom Opening Night Live 2025 and the Future Games Show, Den of Wolves is shaping up to be the next big leap forward for fans of the heist genre.

Corporate Dystopia, Criminal Opportunity
Set in Midway City in the year 2097, Den of Wolves takes place in an unregulated corporate zone created to safeguard global data after AI-driven security systems failed. With corporations now utilizing human brains as storage, the city has become a hub of trade, power, and corruption. And where opportunity thrives, so does crime.
Players step into the role of criminals-for-hire, working for rival companies that demand sabotage, espionage, and assassination. With each job, your crew must plan, prepare, and execute heists in a world where stealth can quickly spiral into all-out gunfights — and mind-hacking mechanics add surreal, high-tech twists to every mission.
Heist Gameplay Evolved
Den of Wolves is all about the crew. Every mission is dynamic and unpredictable, blending infiltration, firefights, and cybernetic hacking as your squad adapts on the fly. Whether you’ve got 20 minutes or 2 hours, each session is designed to deliver high-stakes, cinematic gameplay.
Highlights include:
- 4-Player Co-Op Heists – Plan with friends or strangers, and either lead the job or assist in its execution.
- Dynamic Missions – Move between stealth and firefights in ever-changing scenarios.
- Techno-Thriller Setting – Industrial espionage and neural hacking add a new layer to heist gameplay.
- Soundtrack and Style – With music direction by Simon Viklund, expect high-energy tracks, such as Logic Bomb, to set the tone.
Gamescom 2025 Impressions
Our team met with 10 Chambers multiple times at Gamescom Germany 2025, and the excitement around Den of Wolves was undeniable. Seeing the game showcased at Opening Night Live and then again at the Future Games Show felt like a statement: this is the heist game the studio wants to define their future with.
As longtime fans of PAYDAY 2, we couldn’t help but compare. While PAYDAY 3 left us a bit underwhelmed, Den of Wolves looks like it’s carrying the torch — bigger, bolder, and more ambitious. The mix of corporate cyberpunk style, deep planning, and brutal gunplay has us eager to go hands-on as soon as possible.
We’re hoping to catch up with the dev team again at future events to see how far this vision extends, but for now, Den of Wolves is absolutely one of our most anticipated upcoming co-op games.
A New Era of Heists
Den of Wolves is planned for Steam Early Access, and players can wishlist the game on Steam now. With its combination of high-stakes heists, cyberpunk setting, and innovative mechanics, it promises to deliver a next-level cooperative shooter experience when it finally drops.
