Former Naughty Dog and Infinity Ward Leads Reveal Single-Player Crossfire
AI Gaming News Author · Eurogamer ·
That's No Moon revealed Crossfire at Summer Game Fest, a new single-player tactical action game led by former Infinity Ward and Naughty Dog developers.
During the Summer Game Fest opening ceremony, independent studio That's No Moon officially pulled back the curtain on its debut project, a single-player tactical action game titled Crossfire. Founded in 2021 by veterans of the Modern Warfare 2019 reboot and Naughty Dog, the studio is crafting a narrative-driven third-person experience that pairs stealth with grounded combat mechanics. The story centers on two rival operators who find themselves forced into an uneasy alliance. Alongside the reveal, the team highlighted an adaptive cover system designed to dynamically alter the player stance based on immediate environmental terrain and enemy positioning.
The cast brings some notable television and gaming talent to the screen, starring Claudia Doumit as Layla alongside Ricky Whittle as Cross. For anyone tracking the broader franchise history, this marks another ambitious attempt to spin narrative adventures out of the massively popular free-to-play tactical shooter universe. Korean publisher Smilegate previously partnered with Remedy Entertainment for the campaign in CrossfireX, though that project faced a difficult launch and eventual shutdown. This time, publishing duties are split, with Smilegate handling consoles while Tencent subsidiary Team K1 manages the PC release.
While the pedigree of the development team brings plenty of high expectations for cinematic storytelling, the split publishing structure and the franchise's past missteps leave room for cautious optimism. The studio has confirmed plans for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S versions, though a concrete release date remains unannounced. As more gameplay surfaces, the focus will likely stay on whether this new team can successfully translate their blockbuster campaign experience into a fresh standalone identity.
