Liquid Swords announces ‘consequence-heavy noir action game’ Samson: A Tyndalston Story for PC
Due out in early 2026.
Liquid Swords—the studio founded in 2020 by Avalanche Studios founder, former chief creative officer, and creator of the Just Cause franchise Christofer Sundberg—has announced Samson: A Tyndalston Story, an “consequence-heavy noir action game” coming to PC via Steam and Epic Games Store in early 2026 for $24.99.
“We built Samson to strike fast and leave a mark,” said Liquid Swords founder and creative director Christofer Sundberg in a press release. “It’s a raw, physical story with systems that push back at every turn. This is the start of what Liquid Swords stands for, and the team has delivered something with real teeth. We’ve come through a heavy cycle of change and sharpened every part of how we work. The entire industry is navigating pressure right now. Samson is our answer to that reality, a focused project built with intent, not excess. This is how we move forward.”
Here is an overview of the game, via Liquid Swords:
About
Samson: A Tyndalston Story is a pressure-driven action experience built around debt, consequences, and survival in one of the most unforgiving cities imaginable.
Players take on the role of Samson McCray, a man fighting to stay ahead of a crushing debt that tightens by the hour. Violence, desperation, and quick judgment are the only tools he has left as Tyndalston pushes back at every turn. Combat is grounded, physical, and dangerous. The city responds to your actions, forcing you into a loop where pressure defines every choice you make.
Samson: A Tyndalston Story is built on a simple, brutal truth: every day costs you. Debt grows with interest, and time works against you. Each job burns a limited pool of Action Points and every decision shifts how the city treats you—there are no do-overs. You move forward because standing still makes everything worse.
Founded by Christofer Sundberg, Liquid Swords brings together key developers whose experience shaped the Just Cause series and Mad Max. The team’s background in physical action, systemic design, and character-focused worlds forms the backbone of Samson: A Tyndalston Story. This is a sharp, contained story built to hit hard from the opening frame.
Key Features
- Debt Defines Everything – Your debt grows every day. Your next move determines whether you stay afloat or collapse under the weight.
- Action Points Set the Pace – Every job drains a limited daily pool. Every choice forces a
trade-off.- Combat With Consequence – Fights are grounded and punishing. Violence is a tool, not a spectacle.
