AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
Neon Giant responds to inevitable comparisons between their newly revealed open world RPG No Law and Cyberpunk 2077, highlighting key differences in tone, perspective, and world building.
Fresh off a major reveal at The Game Awards 2025, developer Neon Giant is already tackling the elephant in the room regarding their upcoming first person shooter RPG, No Law. As reported by IGN, the studio knows that players and critics alike are immediately comparing the gritty urban aesthetics to CD Projekt Red's Cyberpunk 2077. However, the team behind the well received 2021 twin stick shooter The Ascent is eager to highlight the key distinctions that set their latest project apart.
Shifting from a top down perspective to a fully realized first person viewpoint, No Law aims for a grounded cyberpunk tone centered entirely around a single, densely populated city. According to early impressions, the world building leans into a distinct cybergrunge atmosphere that feels remarkably alive, giving the community plenty to talk about across streams and social feeds. While the visual similarities are hard to ignore, Neon Giant is pivoting away from high fantasy angst to deliver a different flavor of dystopian sci-fi.
For cross platform players tracking the evolution of open world immersion, No Law is quickly becoming one of the most anticipated titles on the horizon. To read the full breakdown of how Neon Giant is carving its own path, check out the original report on IGN.
