AAA first-person shooter game development

Reports indicate that multiple studios are working on large-scale first-person shooter (FPS) projects.

Behaviour Interactive is developing an unannounced AAA science-fiction FPS using Unreal Engine. A job posting for a Senior Technical Animator at the Montreal branch describes the project as having a “very high level of realism” and requiring animation for both bipedal and non-bipedal characters.

Saber Interactive is also developing a new AAA shooter based on a well-known franchise using Unreal Engine 5. Job listings for a Senior Narrative Designer suggest the project may include PvPvE multiplayer elements. While there is speculation regarding a link to a Hasbro partnership—with some fans pointing to potential connections to the Transformers franchise—discrepancies exist between previous mentions of the proprietary Swarm engine and the Unreal Engine 5 specified in recent advertisements.

In October 2026, publisher Focus Entertainment and parent company PULLUP Entertainment reported that Space Marine 2 has reached 15 million unique players, including those using subscription services. This milestone follows a surge in Steam activity linked to the launch of the game’s Year 3 update and the introduction of the Chaos Siege mode.
