Ataxia is set to bring the cyberpunk crime in 2024

Camlann Games has announced its unique take on the 4X genre with Ataxia, a cyberpunk crimelord simulator.

Do you like crime? Do you like dystopian future crime? It’s okay. You can tell me. I’m not a dystopian future cop. Honest. If those things sound like they itch your interest, then Ataxia might be the game for you. In it, you take control of a gang and expand, exploit, exterminate, and possibly explore a neon-drenched sprawl. I don’t know, the “explore” is part of 4X, and I don’t see much room for that in a city. Maybe Google Maps doesn’t exist in the future.

The trailer gives an idea of what to expect, but since Ataxia isn’t scheduled to launch until late 2024, it’s still quite early in its development. You can expect “espionage, extortion, hacking, money laundering, or more.” You can also customize your gang with weapons and chrome to give them an edge in combat. Then, you can spend your ill-gotten loot to buy or construct buildings in the city.

I’m personally a fan of crime simulator games, since no one seems to pay attention to all the real crime that I do. These games help me feel “seen,” you know. Ataxia is looking like it scratches both my crimelord and cyberpunk itches.

Ataxia is currently slated for release on PC sometime in late 2024.
