The Developers of No Law Know Everyone Will Compare It to Cyberpunk 2077, but There Are Important Differences

No Law is a first-person, open-world shooter-RPG from Neon Giant with reactive player choice and multiple solutions, developed by a 24-person Swedish studio.

  • On Thursday, Neon Giant revealed No Law at The Game Awards, a first-person single-player open-world FPS set in Port Desire for PlayStation 5, Windows PC and Xbox Series X with no release date.
  • Facing a choice between a sequel and a new title, Neon Giant decided to build a new world because The Ascent's setting didn't fit the first-person mechanics they wanted and passed on The Ascent 2 as a 'guaranteed success'.
  • The game features Grey Harker, a written character with XP/skills and unlockable abilities, while Neon Giant prioritizes reactive systems, multiple problem-solving approaches, and a high-density intimate world.
  • Amid inevitable comparisons, developers expect contrasts to CD Projekt Red's Cyberpunk 2077, highlighting Cyberpunk as 'sprawling' versus No Law's 'intimate' scope and about 24 developers at Neon Giant.
  • Drawing on cinematic and comic influences, Arcade Berg said, `We definitely wanted to make something unique in that space`, emphasizing the game's 'cyber-noire' style built on 'neon sleaze' with inspiration from action films, anime, Hong Kong cinema, and Studio Ghibli.
