Top-Down Shooter DeadWire — A Hidden Gem That You May Have Missed in September

LONDON, Wales - Sept. 27, 2025 - PRLog -- September has been packed with game releases but one which you may have missed is DeadWire that launched on the 18th of September on PC via Steam. DeadWire has been developed by solo developer Anaconda Shotgun, and published by The CoLab.

DeadWire is a top-down hacker shooter where anything from cars, cameras, electronics and even enemy implants can be rewired into chaotic chains of destruction. No two encounters will play out the same because every explosion made is one that the player has set in motion.

With more than thirty handcrafted levels, a score-chasing DeadWire mode and a synthwave soundtrack, DeadWire is designed for players who want action that feels fresh and challenging with every single run.

"One second players will be sprinting through a neon alley, the next, they're rewiring a car, a CCTV camera, and unlucky guards into a chaotic chain-reaction." – said Arman, Solo Developer and Founder at Shotgun Anaconda

DeadWire previously turned heads during the PC Gaming Show in June, where PC Gamer praised the games ability to turn the environment into a "chain reaction sandbox of carnage and death."

More Information:

• Weapons with Personality: Slice your way through levels using blades, infinite Molotovs, empty an SMG into an enemy or simply trigger a perfectly timed hack
• Secrets for the Curious: Hidden routes, collectibles and time challenges keep completionists coming back
• Atmosphere that Sticks: A neon-drenched city brought to life in with cyberpunk inspired pixel art
