Den Of Wolves developer 10 Chambers have released a new gameplay trailer for the upcoming co-op shooter.
But this time, the game is being played by four of their most loyal fans, the first members of the public to play the game.
The short trailer gives a glimpse of raw gameplay and reactions of them playing, including way-too-fast camera panning due to mouse flicking and uncensored swearing, debuted during the PC Gaming Show Most Wanted 2025 showcase.
The trailer exists to do one thing: to prove the game exists. The game was announced in late 2023, and two years later it still has no release date, or even a release window.
“I’ve been begging management to give us a release window for Den of Wolves in the trailer—but no. They won’t budge,” says Robin Björkell, Communications Director at 10 Chambers. “These developers really don’t want to make promises they can’t keep for the sake of marketing.”
Rare to see a quote from a press release be by a person who is likely oversee the the release of these press releases.
But this refusal to commit to a release window is a lesson learned from the team’s previous game: GTFO.
“The reason we’re shy about communicating a release window yet is that we learned our lesson with GTFO, which was delayed multiple time,” says Oscar J-T Holm, co-founder of 10 Chambers. “We don’t think it’s fair to communicate fake dates for the sake of getting an announcement out.”
With the state of Payday 3 as it is, fans of heist-based co-op shooters are probably likely more than happy to wait for a good game. One million players have declared their interest in Den Of Wolves by wishlisting it, so 10 Chambers have a lot of players to please. Especially as Den Of Wolves is more or less the spiritual successor of Payday, with a more “techno-thriller” aesthetic.
Den Of Wolves continues to not have a release window, but it will be available on PC (Steam).
