GTA 6 Competitor Launches on PC This Week
PC gamers eagerly awaiting the release of GTA VI now have a new option this week. An open-world game named Samson is scheduled to launch on Steam and Epic Games Store on April 8, 2026. Developed by Liquid Swords, this game draws inspiration from popular titles such as Grand Theft Auto, Driver, and Sleeping Dogs.
Samson: A New Rival for GTA VI
Set in the fictional city of Tyndalston, Samson features a protagonist with substantial debt. Players will navigate through various challenges, engaging in fights and tackling shady jobs to earn money to repay debts. With a focus on melee combat, the game promises to distinguish itself from other open-world titles.
Gameplay Overview
- Open world driving and on-foot exploration
- No gunfights, emphasis on melee combat
- Dynamic street settings and backroom escapes
The game’s blurb describes Tyndalston as a city that shapes how players fight and navigate. The narrative centers on a character who learns violence early, emphasizing close-quarters combat and tactical escapes.
Release Information
Samson will be available for PC at a price of $24.99. Although console versions have been confirmed, they will not be released simultaneously with the PC launch. Liquid Swords founder Christofer Sundberg shared updates regarding the console versions, stating that development will commence after the PC release.
In summary, if you are eager for something fresh while waiting for GTA VI, Samson offers a promising alternative, launching soon on PC.
