The playtest follows an April Focus Group Test (FGT), which provided valuable user feedback and prompted significant enhancements to the game’s combat balance, control systems, and overall feel.

To preview the upcoming experience, two new trailers have been released:

• – A look at the in-game action and core mechanics players will experience during the test.

Players can stay up to date and explore in-depth gameplay information through the game’s official Discord and Steam Community Hub, which serve as the primary channels for community engagement and development updates.

About Black Vultures: Prey of Greed

Black Vultures: Prey of Greed is a tactical FPS set in a fractured warzone where trust is scarce, resources are limited, and every mission begins with a choice. Navigate abandoned infrastructure and hostile zones. Intercept transmissions, gather intel, and complete your objective—before rival squads get there first. Choose your battles carefully. The deeper you go, the higher the risk—but the greater the reward.

Core Features

• Three-Faction Conflict: Battle between three rival squads in an unforgiving warzone. No teams. No alliances. Just shifting tactics and uncertain outcomes.
• Life Ticket System: Each team starts with a shared pool of lives. Once depleted, respawns end and survival becomes personal. Every life matters.
• Team-Based Looting: Loot is stored in a shared squad inventory and only granted upon extraction. Coordination is key. Greed is a risk.

Community-Driven Development

With the Steam Alpha Playtest on the horizon, community feedback will directly influence the future of Black Vultures. Through a Community-Driven Development approach, the team at THISMEANSWAR is building the game hand-in-hand with players.
