Sukeban Games brought .45 Parabellum Bloodhound to Tokyo Game Show 2026 as a playable demo. Developer Christopher Ortiz said the game is nearly complete, finished through Chapter 7, ahead of its fall 2026 Steam release.
Sukeban Games, the studio behind the bartending sim VA-11 Hall-A, is working on .45 Parabellum Bloodhound, a cyberpunk action game. The studio announced in September 2026 that the game would be playable at Tokyo Game Show 2026 at Makuhari Messe in Chiba, with the booth in the indie area and a demo running September 17 to 21. .45 Parabellum Bloodhound was planned for a Steam release in fall 2026, and its combat mixes real-time and turn-based shooting.
At the show, Sukeban Games exhibited the demo. The near-future cyberpunk title follows former soldier Leila Mikazuchi through a South American city and uses frequent camera shifts between compact areas. Main director Chris said Buenos Aires buildings were photographed for backgrounds and references. A hands-on session showed retro fixed cameras, characters Leila, Ana, Mariya and Julietta, and combat built on managing ACT and PSY meters with melee, pistol, and grenade launcher weapons.
By the end of the show, developer Christopher Ortiz said the game was almost complete, finished through Chapter 7, in an interview. The polishing work was mostly done. The 2026 release window looked solid, with refinement rather than production remaining.
