Publisher Tencent Games revealed Rules of Engagement: The Gray Statean upcoming tactical extraction shooter set in a horror universe.
Developed by Gray State Studio, formerly known as Aurora Studio, it comes from the same team as Ring of the Élysée. Released in 2019, Ring of the Élysée enjoyed brief success in the crowded Battle Royale market, but ultimately closed its doors in 2023.
Rules of Engagement: The Gray State carries over many of its core principles, including its emphasis on tactical combat and extraction mechanics. It also introduces new PvE elements, which allow you to fight environmental threats in addition to players, as well as a deep class-based progression system with massive skill trees.
The game takes place in the titular Gray State, a newly discovered dimension filled with nightmarish creatures. You play as a Strider, one of the elite soldiers racing to recover a priceless artifact from within.
The setting draws on a wide variety of horror scenarios, drawing inspiration from a wide selection of films, books and other sources.
The game will be free to play, with the developer not promising any paid monetization. In-game purchases will be cosmetic only, such as weapon skins and battle passes.
Three classes will be available at launch, with more planned later.
The game will be released in 2026 after alpha playtesting earlier that year and will be a PC exclusive title.
