15th August, 2025 – MicroProse today announced it will publish Better Than Dead, a brutal bodycam-style first-person shooter set in the streets of Hong Kong. Players take on the role of a once-enslaved woman, beaten down and powerless — until rage becomes her only strength. Armed with a pistol, a kill list, and a bodycam to document every second of her payback, she’s not running anymore.
In Better Than Dead, you’re not just surviving — you’re retaliating. Once held captive and humiliated on film by those who broke her, the protagonist now turns the camera on them. One by one, they’ll fall. Every mission is a ruthless, high-stakes raid through the underbelly of Hong Kong. No remorse. No hesitation. Only vengeance.
Key Features
🎥 Bodycam revenge shooter – Film every step, every shot, every execution. You are the hunter now.
⚔️ Raw, instant gunplay – Blink and you're dead. Speed and precision are your only allies.
🌆 Photorealistic Hong Kong – Fight through restaurants, seedy nightclubs, rooftop dens, and dark alleyways.
🔒 Tight, linear levels – No filler. Just targets, blood, and retribution.
🎬 Cinematic action style – Heavily inspired by gritty Hong Kong action cinema of the ’80s and ’90s.
With MicroProse’s support, Better Than Dead will bring a visceral, tightly honed shooter experience with cinematic flair and global distribution. Players can wishlist the game now on Steam to be notified before release.
