The game is announced for personal computers.
Grey State Studio and Tencent have announced Rules of Engagement: The Grey State, a tactical PvPvE shooter with horror elements. The game is being developed for PC and will be released in 2026 on Steam, Epic Games Store, and the Chinese WeGame store.
Players will have to drop into a location to hunt grotesque monsters, collect valuable loot, and engage with other players. Towards the end of the round, players will have a choice: safely evacuate with their loot or risk it to obtain more valuable gear in the center of a dangerous anomaly, where other players may also rush, with whom they will definitely have to fight for a place on the evacuation helicopter.
Three character classes are already presented for the first playtest: sledgehammer, pyromaniac, and phantom. The testing date is not yet known.
You are a Strider: an elite operative hired by a mysterious organization to venture into the Grey Zone—an unstable dimension teeming with gruesome monsters and alien artifacts. Your mission is simple: retrieve the Apex—a priceless artifact from the heart of the anomaly—and survive the nightmarish lawless territories where enemy squads are fighting for the same objective. There is no world to save here. This is just a job.
