The Shadow Syndicate Announced for PS5, Xbox, Switch 2, and PC
Indie developer KillaSoft has officially unveiled The Shadow Syndicate, a narrative-driven stealth-action game set in the gritty underworld of 1930s Brooklyn. The title is currently in development for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC (Steam), with a release date yet to be announced.
Players take on the role of Sam Marlowe, a war veteran turned private detective, navigating a noir-inspired world filled with secret societies, occult threats, and moral ambiguity. The game blends detective work, stealth mechanics, and supernatural combat, offering a fresh twist on the traditional noir formula.
Key gameplay features include:
Time-slowing shootouts, teleportation, and stunning finishers via a cursed ring.
A growing curse system that forces players to manage risk and power.
An evolving city hub filled with mini-games like darts, blackjack, and bowling, and meaningful side content.
A dynamic skill system and decision-driven progression.
With its blend of rich storytelling and strategic action, The Shadow Syndicate is shaping up to be a standout indie release. Its atmospheric design and layered world-building could appeal to fans of Dishonored, L.A. Noire, and Bioshock alike.
