Liquid Swords has announced its debut action adventure game, titled Samson: A Tyndalston Story, will launch on April 8 for $24.99 on PC via Steam and Epic Games Store. Liquid Swords is an up-and-coming studio consisting of developers from the Just Cause series and Mad Max.
“I’ve spent a large part of my career building massive games. With Samson, we knew that bigger doesn’t always equal better and had to be extremely deliberate in what we built,” says Christofer Sundberg, Founder and Creative Director at Liquid Swords. “Samson is the result of our team’s work, tirelessly fine-tuning what our players expect, and more importantly, what makes games fun. It’s not bloated, it’s all about focus, and we keep players at the center of every decision. Fans of gritty 90’s action flicks have something to look forward to when Samson releases on April 8th. Buckle up, because you’re in for a ride.“
The Steam page describes Samson: A Tyndalston Story as follows:
Samson comes home to the worst streets of Tyndalston, a place that built him hard and never forgave him. Muscle, speed, and nerve decide who stays upright. Close-quarters fights, tight corners, and no room for hesitation. He learned violence before he learned mercy, and the city hasn’t forgotten. Every clash matters. Every hit is meant to break or be broken. You cut through alleys, rooftops, and backroom dens designed to keep you moving, not sightseeing. Tyndalston shapes how you fight, climb, corner, and vanish. It’s familiar ground, but never safe ground.
Cars are not set dressing. They’re blunt instruments. You rip through the outskirts and industrial wastelands in battered machines held together with scrap and stubbornness. Ram, drift, smash, or outthink whoever chases you. Nothing here is clean. Samson’s debt hangs over everything, and his sister is the pressure point his enemies squeeze. Time is short, and the bill keeps growing. This is a focused, brutal chapter in his story, built with intent, no excess, no padding. He didn’t return to entertain. He returned because this is the only place where he can fight his way out.
Dying to be Free
Your debt grows by the hour, and the people holding it squeeze harder every day. Every job, every dollar, every choice cuts a path forward or shuts it down. No do-overs. No safety net.
