Gritty, neo-noir first-person shooter Pigface launches its demo on Steam, offering players freeform assassination tasks to undertake.
Get Ready for Pigface: The Gruesome, Gory, and Gut-wrenching FPS of 2025!
Stepping onto the stage at the PC Gaming Show 2025, the visceral assassination sandbox FPS Pigface made its marks with a fresh trailer and an announced early access launch in August. If you're eager to dive into the action right now, test out the game's new demo available on Steam.
Pigface packs a punch with its gritty, action-packed gameplay that draws strong comparisons to some iconic titles:
- SWAT and Rainbow Six: Strap on your tactical helmet as you tackle contracts, plan assassinations, and strategize in simulated missions similar to these classics games.
- Hotline Miami: Prepare for a high-speed, brutal experience with Pigface, featuring close-quarters combat, aggressive melee, and a vibrant, neon atmosphere that'll have your adrenaline pumping.
- Manhunt: This one's not for the faint-hearted. Pigface evokes the psychological horror and tense stealth aspects that Rockstar's Manhunt became famous for.
Our masked anti-hero, known as Exit, wears a Hotline Miami-style pig mask and is coerced into accepting dirty jobs by a mysterious paymaster. Exit's a seasoned killer with a bleak past, and the game takes us through her journey up a murderous pyramid of targets, with the end goal of unmasking the puppet master pulling the strings.
The game's grim, dark setting of decaying warehouses, motels, and graffiti-covered streets will make you feel right at home in this neo-noir underworld. It's a sinister, immersive journey that we can't wait to dive into.
If you're hankering for something new that combines tactical gameplay with intense combat, Pigface will be a worthy replacement while you wait for the follow-up to Cruelty Squad. The sandbox assassinations in Pigface share similarities to the action-packed mayhem seen in the indie hit game, just with a more grounded noir aesthetic replacing the neon-drenched future of Cruelty Squad.
For those eager to sink their teeth into Pigface, the demo just went live on Steam, and we're definitely going to give it a whirl ourselves. Wishlist Pigface and keep an eye out for its August early access launch.
