The GTA-style game is set to take players into the darker side of London

Fans of Grand Theft Auto, you'll be interested to know that a new game set in London is currently in development.

The single player game will take players into the darker side of London via central character, Rahim and his friends, Sonny and Reece.

Similar to GTA, players can interact with people 'all over the city in order to make your money and deal with anyone who gets in your way’.

In an interview with Insider Gamer, makers Concrete Realm said it wanted to fill a London-shaped gap in gaming.

They said: “We felt that many AAA game developers couldn’t quite capture the authenticity of London as we could.

"We’ve noticed that recent UK titles like the new season of Top Boy and Blue Story faced criticism for not fully delivering an authentic experience, and we believe ENDS can fill that gap.

“This project is a passion project for us, and we’ve discovered that many others share our enthusiasm for it. It’s a game designed by and for the people, aiming to provide a truly authentic London experience.”

You can see a trailer for the game - called ENDS - here:

ENDS is currently on Kickstarter where it's received over 200 pledges and over £10,000 in backing.

Over on the Kickstarter page, the creators explained a little about Rahim and the premise of the game.

They explained that the game's main character shares a one bedroom flat with his mum and younger brother.

He and his friends, Sonny and Reece, were raised 'in the ends' surrounded by safety, community and belonging.

"Not everyone is born special. Some are born with a silver spoon, they're destined for the big houses, nice cars and an inheritance. But for those who are born normal, even surviving is a struggle," they explain.

"... But the real ends is a cycle of maintaining order, profiting from addiction and removing anyone in their way. As the trio become young men, they must make a decision: Will they represent the community that raised them and embrace being normal or will they aim for something more?"

The game will hopefully be coming in 2025. (Concrete Realm)

The team recently provided an update on when the game might be coming out, telling followers on Instagram: "We would love to pick a specific date but we are aiming for 2025. We are hoping to show the process on our discord so if you get the chance, join using our bio."

With the game having reached its Kickstarter goal, we're hoping it will be ready to play ASAP.
