This city becomes a sprawling nerve center for international trade, where opportunities for crime are rampant.
Players take on the roles of criminals-for-hire, engaging in unauthorized errands created by rival business entities in this corporate haven.

Players will plan and execute heists involving industrial espionage, sabotage, theft, and assassinations.
The game’s missions are designed to be dynamic and unpredictable, shifting between stealth and action-packed scenarios.
The narrative built around Midway City aims to create a believable city of the near future where late-stage capitalism has gone rampant, and corporations set the rules.
