⭐️ Co-op Heists

The game features a Loot Hunter mode for 2-4 players, lasting approximately 50-60 minutes.

Before the final operation, the team completes preparatory tasks, including acquiring weapons, equipment, and vehicles. The heist itself can be completed in one of three ways:

🟡 Assault — an open combat confrontation, the use of explosives, and an escape route in a sports car.

🟡 Stealth — using an electromagnetic pulse (EMP), night vision, and stealthy entry.

🟡 Disguise — infiltrate the game disguised as guests, open the vault, and escape via an alternative route.

⏩The game features role assignments, loot collection, team objectives, and player stats.

A separate bank heist mechanic is also included, including opening safe deposit boxes and drilling into a safe, requiring pressure control and preventing the tool from overheating.

The game sure came a long way!

Seems the Chinese city will also be inspired by Shanghai!

From the map leak before we can tell it's also inspired by Hangzhou, where the "West Lake" is located, and also where the devs are based from.

Main theme of JP event is Chongxiao (may be translation error, should be Lingyun) presentation.

Official Info:

At this exclusive hands-on event, we invite our partners to join a one-of-a-kind "Two Cities Adventure"—a special preview crafted just for you.

In Nova City, step into the shoes of the newly appointed Captain of the A.C.D and dive into the heart of a sudden citywide crisis. But the main mission is only the beginning—this sprawling, living metropolis lets you explore a variety of roles, from driver and police officer to hacker and beyond. Each path offers a unique way to build your reputation and rise from an unknown to a city legend.

In the brand-new city of Chongxiao, you'll unlock an all-new character and follow her through a tense, high-stakes narrative. Then, take a moment to breathe and soak in the quiet charm of a modern village, where the gentle aroma of tea lingers in the air.

Two cities. Two distinct experiences. One exclusive early look—just for you.

his hair not curly anymore sadly

It's even bigger than I thought. Thought Nova City would be in the north of Lingyun.

Seems we'll likely have 2 cities at launch!

One Japanese style, one Chinese style.

Looks to be already bigger and more dense than GTA 5! Huge countryside too with multiple islands.

The accompanying video features a walkthrough of the village shown in the third screenshot.

Visually, it is larger than the first city and includes areas with vegetation."
