Gaming enthusiasts eagerly anticipating the next Grand Theft Auto-style experience should mark their calendars for ENDS, an ambitious RPG that transplants the open-world crime formula to the atmospheric streets of London. Developed by Concrete Realms, this title promises to deliver a raw, immersive experience contrasting the lives of London's privileged elite with those struggling for survival in the city's underbelly. Slated for release on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox platforms, ENDS will offer an early beta access period beginning in early 2026.

The Grand Theft Auto series has long served as inspiration for numerous open-world titles, from Saints Row to Watch Dogs. ENDS aims to carve its own niche by combining familiar crime RPG mechanics with a distinctly British setting. The developers describe it as "a single-player, gritty action adventure" that explores London's less glamorous districts through a narrative-focused lens.

Players will assume the role of Rahim, navigating London's challenges alongside companions Sonny and Reece. This coming-of-age story explores themes of loyalty, family bonds, and urban survival through a mix of sandbox freedom and RPG progression. The game emphasizes realistic mechanics and player choice, with decision-making systems reminiscent of narrative-driven titles like Detroit: Become Human. Following a successful Kickstarter campaign, ENDS plans to launch an early access version for PC via Steam in Q1 2026.

While full gameplay reveals remain forthcoming, developer logs have teased ENDS' brutal melee combat system and immersive world interactions. Players will utilize an in-game phone for missions and communication, while vehicle mechanics allow for exploration across London's diverse districts. The development team cites Rockstar's GTA series as primary inspiration, aiming to translate London's complex social dynamics into compelling interactive storytelling.

As open-world RPGs continue dominating the gaming landscape, ENDS represents an intriguing evolution of the genre. While comparisons to established franchises like GTA and Red Dead Redemption are inevitable, the game's unique London setting and focus on grounded storytelling could help it stand apart. Fans can follow official channels for updates on this ambitious project.
