Crossfire, the Debut Game From That's No Moon, Seeks to Revolutionize Cover Shooters
The single-player shooter adds visibility-based cover tech and Unreal Engine 5 rendering to let players find natural routes through combat.
- At Summer Game Fest 2026, developer That's No Moon revealed Crossfire, a narrative-heavy single-player game set in the same universe as the 2007 shooter popular in South Korea and China.
- The LA-based studio operates from a facility housing its roughly 230-person staff, combining desk-filled workspace with a performance-capture studio for capturing the game's character performances.

- Actors Claudia Doumit and Ricky Whittle portray mercenaries Layla Qassem and Delroy Cross, characters fans may recognize from episode 7 of Amazon's Secret Level series.
- Creative director Kurosaki emphasized that single-player experiences enable greater innovation, stating "it's really only in a single-player-only experience where you can innovate like we have.
