June 16, 2026 – FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - Dark Product (South Korea) and Koro Pixel Studio (Italy) are proud to announce ARMS DEALER, a deep strategy trading simulation where players rise from crippling debt to unimaginable wealth by engaging in the dangerous and lucrative world of international arms trading.
In ARMS DEALER, players do not command armies or fight battles. Instead, they operate behind the scenes, buying and selling to those who do. Starting with little more than debt and ambition, players must deal with loan sharks, manage the risks of fluctuating prices, avoid law enforcement, and try not to get murdered.
Every decision carries consequences. Market fluctuations create opportunities and disasters. Corrupt officials demand payment. Gangs seek a share of the profits. Loan sharks expect repayment. One bad deal can bring an empire crashing down.
Players begin trading small-scale weapons and gradually expand into advanced military hardware, armored vehicles, unconventional weapons programs, and strategic technologies capable of reshaping the balance of power. As operations grow, so too do the risks, attracting attention from authorities, competitors, and powerful interests with agendas of their own.
Features
• Deep Black-Market Economy: Buy low, sell high, and exploit global instability for profit.
• Scale Your Operation: Grow from individual transactions to container-scale international shipments.
• Dynamic Events and Crises: Violent attacks and unexpected opportunities can transform fortunes overnight.
• Weapons Progression System: Unlock and trade increasingly sophisticated military equipment.
• Armored Vehicle Packs: Expand into military vehicles, heavy equipment, and specialized logistics networks.
• Advanced Weapons Programs: Gain access to biological, chemical, nuclear, and other high-risk technologies as your influence expands.
• Criminal Underworld Simulation: Negotiate with gangs, militias, corrupt authorities, financiers, smugglers, and black-market brokers.
• Loan Sharks and Debt Management: Borrow aggressively to grow quickly, then survive long enough to repay your creditors.
• Permadeath Campaigns: A single catastrophic mistake can end everything.
• Strategic Risk Management: Balance profit, exposure, reputation, and survival in a constantly changing world.
ARMS DEALER is being developed by Koro Pixel Studio, best known for LOOP ERROR and author of the accompanying book of the same name. The project continues the studio's tradition of exploring unusual themes and challenging players with systems-driven experiences that place difficult choices at the center of gameplay.
There are no heroes.
There are no good outcomes.
There are only margins.
