What is Ringleaders all about?
Ringleaders is a retrofuturistic, prohibition-inspired social deduction shooter. You enter the city of Carillon as a Cypher, an anthropomorphic AI designed for eternal servitude to humanity. But whispers in the digital alleys hint that Luminos bestows Cyphers with sentience—a ticket to freedom! Team up with allies and embark on electrifying missions: guard the convoy, deliver cargo, and lay waste to enemy territories. But tread with caution: among your ranks lurks a traitor, an informant for NERVOS—the looming mega-corporation that pulls the strings of all Cyphers. Will you claim your freedom or remain a puppet? Dive in and decide your fate!
We believe in the power of developing alongside our community. Our goal is to take our players behind the scenes and share our development progress publicly. We welcome – and strongly encourage – any and all feedback and suggestions on the core game loop, community events, and marketing. Use the #feedback-and-suggestions channel of our Discord, as well as Steam forums for this purpose as you see fit!
What should you expect from us?
Closed Beta launch - this fall, we’re going to launch into Closed Beta, at which point we’ll start to bring in community members to playtest Ringleaders! Discord is one of the best places to stay up to date on upcoming events, as well as our TikTok, Twitter, subreddit, and other social media accounts.
Early Access launch - Later on, we’ll launch into Early Access on Steam. At this point, the game will be publicly available.
Stay tuned for more updates on Closed Beta playtests and community events. We’re an open book, so don’t hesitate to say hello and introduce yourself in our Community Discussion board. We are so excited you chose to join us on this journey!
