Kusan: City of Wolves Launches on PC and Consoles

PQube released Kusan: City of Wolves on July 30, 2026, for PC via Steam, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch. The game is a top-down action shooter developed by CIRCLEfromDOT, set in the neon-lit cyberpunk city of Kusan. Players control Jin, a former soldier turned mercenary, who must protect a girl named Haru, a psychic test subject implanted with a weapon capable of destroying the city. The story involves Jin's former superior, Colonel Hoban, leading the armed group Diamond Wolves, and a government agent named Aine. The game features over 54 stages with varied gimmicks, boss battles, and a tech-tree system called TechTrix for customizing loadouts. Combat emphasizes melee attacks with Jin's prosthetic arm, the War Hand, and throwing knives, with a one-hit-death mechanic. The soundtrack is by Korean hip-hop artist Loptimist, and the story is presented through graphic novel-style cutscenes. Physical editions are available for PS5 and Switch.
