In the absence of a new Deus Ex, indie imsim Tokyo Walled City may scratch that stealth 'n' stolen passwords itch
From the buzzing tube lights of TGS 2026 emerges Tokyo Walled City, a (deep breath) "stealth action retro-cyberpunk immersive sim with survival horror and RPG elements" in development at indie outfit Grim Ronin. Hey, I like most of those things, and I like rainy, neon Japanese streets , so let’s have a crack at covering an independent imsim without mentioning Gloomwood . Ah, dammit. Read more
Grim Ronin's Tokyo Walled City is a stealth action retro-cyberpunk immersive sim with survival horror and RPG elements currently in development. Set within a rain-soaked, neon-lit Japanese district, players assume the role of a skilled mercenary tasked with covert operations, including assassination, combat, hacking, and password theft.
The game draws inspiration from Dishonored, particularly its fluid parkour-style movement inspired by Dishonored 2. While survival horror and RPG aspects are present, they are not as prominent as the stealth and action elements. With the absence of new major titles like Deus Ex, BioShock, and Dishonored, indie developers are filling the void, whether through experimental endeavors or more grounded titles like Tokyo Walled City. Although a release date has not been announced, the game is set to enter early access via Steam.
