🔥 Includes three ways to play:
• Story Missions
• Dynamic Operations
• Free Roam

⚔️ PvP remains the core focus, with no plans for a PvE-only mode

🏆 New Bounty Hunter system tracks the deadliest players and features a weekly Top 50 leaderboard

• Practice in the firing range
• Upgrade loadouts
• Manage missions
• Purchase gear from vendors

🖨️ Extracted materials can be crafted into useful items using an in-game 3D printer

▫️ Set in the same universe as Stellar Blade

🎮 Crossfire is a newly revealed single-player action game from ex-Naughty Dog and COD developers

🎮 Published by Smilegate, the company behind the massive Crossfire franchise

🎬 It’s a single-player cinematic action-adventure, not a multiplayer FPS like classic Crossfire

🎭 The story follows Layla, played by Claudia Doumit from The Boys, and Cross, played by Ricky Whittle from American Gods

⚔️ Both characters have different ideologies but are forced to work together after becoming stranded and hunted by a terrorist threat

🔫 Gameplay features tactical third-person gunfights, stealth, positioning, and a new Adaptive Cover system

🛡️ Adaptive Cover lets players use more complex environments as cover instead of only sticking to traditional waist-high walls

🎯 Combat is built around realism, meaning rushing enemies head-on is risky and players need to use distraction, stealth, and smart positioning

🌍 The game is set in the wider Crossfire universe, known for the conflict between rival private military factions

🏢 Developed by That’s No Moon, a AAA studio founded by former Naughty Dog, Infinity Ward, Santa Monica Studio, EA, Bungie, and PlayStation veterans

🕹️ Platforms confirmed: PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC

📅 Release date: Not announced yet
