Kusan: City of Wolves 2026
Kusan: City of Wolves is a top-down shooter video game released on July 30, 2026 by PQube for Windows, Xbox, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch. It was developed by South Korean studio CIRCLEfromDOT over eight years with a small team. The game is set in Kusan, a fictional cyberpunk city with a neo-noir atmosphere, featuring anthropomorphic animal characters. Players control Jin, a feline soldier equipped with a metal prosthetic arm called "War hand" that functions as a melee weapon. Jin acts as an antihero who uses violent tactics to achieve his goals.
The game utilizes a pixel art style and draws comparisons to Hotline Miami in both visual design and gameplay mechanics. Themes such as gore, drug use, sex trafficking, and crime are prevalent throughout the experience. Levels incorporate cluttered environments that enhance the dystopian cyberpunk and neo-noir tone. Cutscenes follow a comic-book format, displaying one panel at a time with player interaction required to proceed. The soundtrack features hip-hop music composed by South Korean rapper Loptimist.
The development of Kusan: City of Wolves was influenced by Hotline Miami and John Wick. Critics generally praised the game's gameplay, soundtrack, and replayability, although some felt the story was weak.
