New Gameplay Video for BLACKWOOD Released

Developer and publisher AttritoM7 Productions released a new 3-minute gameplay reveal BLACKWOOD. The clip shows the prologue of the game and follows Anton Blackwood, a contract killer living a double life.

In the same video, we see Anton being cornered by the mob in the neon-lit streets of New York. He now has to fight his way out with cinematic melee takedowns, environmental kills, and high-octane chases. The video also gives players a sneak peek at the intense combat system of the game.

Watch the new gameplay video here. A teaser trailer has been released previously and can be viewed here.

The game focuses on Anton Blackwood who runs a small DVD store in Brooklyn by day. It's a place of quiet routines and where there are fleeting moments of normalcy. Among the many customers and shelves of old films, there's someone who sees a side of Anton that few others do. It's a woman who works in the store and has noticed the gentler side of Anton, something that he rarely shows to the world. By day, players can hang out in the apartment, manage the store, and pretty much experience the life of a man trying to maintain balance in a city that doesn’t forgive weakness.

Things change when night rolls in. That's because when the shutters close and the streets go quiet, Anton heads to the basement. It's a private space where there’s more than movies to rent. This is because during the night, he moves through the city as a deadly assassin and is guided by the choreography of his favorite crime thrillers. At this time, players can perform devastating melee takedowns, stage environmental kills, and survive high-octane on-foot and driving chases.

While Anton thinks he’s the protagonist in his story, there is actually someone who's always watching and directing from the shadows.

When it comes to gameplay, BLACKWOOD offers tight and close quarters combat then combines it with slow-burn storytelling. From the basement of a quiet Brooklyn DVD store to the neon-lit streets of 2012 New York’s underworld, each encounter is choreographed and every fight feels cinematic. That said, every choice comes with consequences. The quiet moments with the woman in the store remind Anton that even in a world of darkness, glimpses of his humanity endure.

Overall, BLACKWOOD features style and brutality intertwined. It's a game where the story bends to both choice and consequence and each fight is a reckoning while every decision matters. Wishlist BLACKWOOD on Steam now and get to follow Anton’s journey when it launches in 2026.
