Updated on July 04, 2025: The original version of this article incorrectly identified the track in the new Den of Wolves trailer as “Takeover” by ECKA. The actual song used in the trailer merely uses the same vocals by British vocalist Nat James, but is an original work by 10 Chambers Audio and Music Director Simon Viklund, which will be released on Spotify in a matter of days.
Summary
10 Chambers has revealed some new gameplay footage fromDen of Wolves, its upcoming sci-fi heist game. This new look atDen of Wolveswas shared during the 2024 edition of The Game Awards.
10 Chambers is a Stockholm, Sweden-based studio founded by Ulf Andersson, the creator of the first twoPaydaygames. Founded in 2015, the company released its first title six years later, debuting it in the form of co-op horror shooterGTFO. In December 2023, 10 Chambers took to The Game Awards to announce its next project, a sci-fi heist gameDen of Wolves.
A year later, the developer once again appeared at one of Geoff Keighley’s shows, taking toThe Game Awards 2024to share a fresh gameplay trailer forDen of Wolves. The 90-second video serves as an introduction to the game’s setting, Midway City, a corporate haven located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. The trailer’s narrator describes this cyberpunk metropolis as a “land of opportunity” where players will be able to get rich or die trying. Following that brief introduction, the newDen of Wolvestrailer erupts into pure chaos, showing an erratic sequence of glimpses at action-packed gameplay involving massive shootouts, environmental destruction, and daring escapes.
Den of Wolves TGA 2024 Trailer Song Ties Into the Game’s Themes
All of this is happening to the tune of some highly energetic EDM music that possibly even hints at the game’s themes. “Stand my ground when I stare them down and they can’t control us, burn up the system right, let the people rise for the real takeover,” the vocalist sings over the course of the newDen of Wolvestrailer. By all accounts,Den of Wolveswill give players plenty of opportunities to burn down the system through sabotage, assassinations, and other disorderly activities.
Den of Wolves Is Still Without an Official Release Window
TheTGA 2024 trailerends with a tagline saying “early access 202…” In a prepared statement shared after the new promo video premiered, 10 Chambers Communications Director Robin Björkell said thatDen of Wolveswill launch in Steam Early Access whenever it’s ready to do so. “The cryptic release date in the trailer is our homage to classic FPS games where developers were bold about releasing when ready,” Björkell explained.

The sci-fi heist game has so far only been confirmed for PC. The first 10 Chambers title,GTFO, never made its way to any other platform, soDen of Wolvescould also plausibly remain a PC exclusive post-release.
