In an exciting development for the gaming community, solo developer ANB_Seth is set to unveil their debut original title, Gunman Contracts – Stand Alone, in early access in 2025.

Game Features and Development Insights
Partnering with publisher 2080 Games, known for their work on MiRacle Pool, ANB_Seth is committed to delivering a game that caters to both VR enthusiasts and traditional gamers. Gunman Contracts – Stand Alone will be available on Steam as both a VR and flatscreen title, though it is being developed primarily with virtual reality in mind.
The game’s foundation lies in the successful Gunman Contracts mods that transformed the sci-fi landscape of Half-Life: Alyx into a gritty mobster narrative, attracting a dedicated fanbase on the Steam Workshop. The anticipation surrounding this title is palpable, as players look forward to engaging with ruthless criminal forces and executing contracts in a chaotic environment.
According to the Steam storefront, players can expect the early access phase to last approximately two to three years. Upon launch, gamers will have access to Gunman’s Base, a diverse arsenal of weapons and modifications, along with the potential for the first contract. As development progresses, the game aims to feature around six contracts by the time it reaches its full version 1.0.
With its planned release on PC VR via Steam, Gunman Contracts – Stand Alone is poised to carve out a unique niche in the gaming landscape, blending action with a compelling narrative that invites players to explore the darker side of justice.
