THISMEANSWAR (CEO Changki Choi), a subsidiary of Wemade Co., Ltd. (CEO Kwan Ho Park), has opened the official Steam store page for its upcoming PC first-person shooter Black Vultures: Prey of Greed.

Black Vultures tells the story of a disbanded special operations unit operating in a fractured warzone where command structures have collapsed and survival is the only mission. Set in the aftermath of six years of continental conflict, players take on high-risk objectives across lawless territories scarred by ruined infrastructure and contested zones. The game features ultra-realistic visuals powered by Unreal Engine 5, a Life Ticket System that adds tactical depth through limited respawns, and a team-based looting system designed to reward coordinated squad play. In the game mode Cargo Rush, players experience unique psychological warfare within a three-faction standoff. Realistic firearms and a detailed customization system complete the game’s intense and immersive battlefield.

To refine core gameplay elements such as combat balance and controls, the development team is preparing a global playtest scheduled for July. Details including the test date and participation instructions will be announced via the official Steam store page. Current development is focused on improvements based on feedback gathered during the domestic Focus Group Test held in April.

“With Black Vultures, our goal is to offer an FPS experience that blends the intensity of gunplay with the tension of psychological warfare,” said Changki Choi, CEO of THISMEANSWAR. “The dynamic pacing and team-based looting create situations where every decision matters. We look forward to players experiencing the strategic depth and three-faction standoffs in the upcoming global playtest. Ultimately, we want Black Vultures to be recognized as a shooter that stays true to its fundamentals while delivering something fresh and unforgettable.”

Meanwhile, THISMEANSWAR is collaborating with NVIDIA on the development of Viper, an AI-powered combat analysis device based on NVIDIA’s voice and dialogue AI technology, NVIDIA ACE. Viper utilizes equipment such as tactical cameras, headsets, and drones to analyze battlefield conditions in real time. It provides players with critical combat data, including enemy positions, potential threats, and optimal movement routes. Viper is scheduled to be revealed after the global playtest in July.
