While gameplay runs in a first-person perspective, the custom hunter appears during cinematic cutscenes and dialogue interactions. Character builds rely on archetypes or custom point allocation across attributes like Charisma, Dexterity, and Intelligence. These feed into skills such as Melee, Intimidation, and Persuasion. Players can also equip advantages and flaws to modify stats, including a 15 percent critical hit chance.

Teyon opened sign-ups for a closed alpha test scheduled for early 2027. The game is slated to launch on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S in Q3 2027.
