2080 Games released the early access version of Gunman Contracts - Stand Alone on Steam on September 11, 2026, priced at 3,150 yen including tax. The single-player FPS is developed by solo developer ANB_Seth, whose prior work includes the Gunman Contracts - Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 mods for Half-Life: Alyx. Players take the role of an operative called Gunman and hunt the criminal organization The Collectors. The early access build includes three story contracts set in an old safehouse on the outskirts of town, a warehouse district, and a mafia-run restaurant, plus two challenge modes, Take Down and Last Stand, a weapon and attachment system, leaderboards, and a base area called The Hive with speed-shooting courses, pop-up and classic target ranges, and holographic combat training. The gun wall at the base unlocks more than 18 weapon types, among them dual pistols, an assault rifle, and a compound bow. The game supports both VR and non-VR play.
Early access is a deliberate choice for a solo developer, not a finished release pushed out early. According to the developer, early access provides a chance to involve players in development, and the plan is for the period to last several years.
The exact schedule for the official release is undecided. The developer has said the benchmark is quality and content that satisfies both the developer and the community, and that the price will rise as contracts and content are added.
- Story Campaign: contracts based at The Hive, with missions in an old safehouse on the outskirts of town, a warehouse district, and a mafia-run restaurant.
- Take Down: players choose the enemy types, count the number of enemies, and clear the area.
- Last Stand: players defuse bombs while surviving as long as possible against endless enemies.
The protagonist works for a mysterious organization that enforces justice in a world beyond the reach of the law. The Collectors are described as a cold-blooded criminal organization that commits murders and kidnappings for unknown reasons. The two Gunman Contracts - Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 mods for Half-Life: Alyx gained popularity as John Wick-style VR games.
