GRIM RONIN Announces TOKYO WALLED CITY For Steam Early Access
A retro cyberpunk immersive sim pitched at a lengthy Early Access run is a bet on systems depth over a finished launch, and the walled-city premise gives the stealth and audio work a closed space to do it in.

GRIM RONIN has announced TOKYO WALLED CITY, a retro cyberpunk stealth action immersive sim with survival horror and RPG elements. Players control mercenary Kimura Reiko, trapped inside a walled-off Neo-Tokyo, exploring streets, rooftops, and hidden passageways. The game is planned for Steam Early Access on PC, with an expected 18 to 24 month period adding areas, content, and core system improvements.
The game is set in a corner of Neo-Tokyo sealed off by enormous walls, with the player crossing abandoned markets, residential districts, neon-lit alleys, and slums at varied elevations. GRIM RONIN lists an advanced stealth and audio system that reflects visibility and sound propagation, plus tools and weapons drawn from the cyberpunk setting. Encounters are built around using the environment, and the studio says how a player escapes danger is up to them. The planned Early Access window runs 18 to 24 months.
