Phantom Line Free Prologue Gets Twitch Early Play Ahead of October 26 Launch
A free prologue ahead of the full game lets Antistatic test the reworked gunplay and shorter tutorial with a wider audience than the March 2026 playtest reached.

Antistatic Studios plans to release the free prologue version of Phantom Line on Steam and the Epic Games Store on October 26, 2026. The 1- to 4-player co-op shooter puts players in the Supernatural Phenomenon Countermeasures SWAT unit, investigating a research facility in the Eastern European region Iron Corridor. An early play stream runs on the official 4Gamer Twitch channel from around 0:00 on October 24.
The prologue's explorable area is smaller than the main game's, but the core mechanics carry over. Antistatic reworked the shooting after its March 2026 playtest, adding tactical reloads and magazine malfunctions, shortening the tutorial, and optimizing performance. The studio was founded by veteran creators whose credits include the Gears of War series, BioShock, and the Arma series.
Co-founder and creative director Kris said the team wants players to meet the prologue with friends and send feedback through Discord, Telegram, and QQ.
