That's No Moon, an independent studio founded in 2021 by Taylor Kurosaki and Jacob Minkoff, unveiled Crossfire as a new single-player tactical action-adventure game during Summer Game Fest's opening ceremony on June 11, 2026 [1]. The game blends stealth and grounded combat in a third-person perspective, featuring high lethality and milsim elements such as manual reloads and tactical cover mechanics [1, 2].
Claudia Doumit stars as Layla Qassem, an idealistic gun-for-hire, while Ricky Whittle voices Delroy "Cross" Cross, a mercenary fighting for institutions. The narrative focuses on their complex relationship and departs from the established competitive Crossfire FPS lore [2]. "Crossfire is a canvas. The world had lore, but not much in the way of stories, until now," said Kurosaki [2].
The game introduces an Adaptive Cover system that automatically adjusts the player’s stance based on terrain and nearby enemies, emphasizing tactical depth in combat [1]. Unlike previous Crossfire titles, Crossfire is a strictly single-player experience with a stealth-forward design and tactical shooter mechanics, moving away from multiplayer FPS gameplay [2].
Smilegate, the South Korean publisher known for free-to-play shooters, will publish Crossfire on consoles. On PC, publishing is handled by Team K1, a subsidiary of Tencent [1]. The game will launch on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S, although no release date has been provided so far [1].
That’s No Moon was formed after the founders left Infinity Ward, with Kurosaki and Minkoff bringing experience from Modern Warfare 2019 and Naughty Dog to the new studio [1, 2]. Previously, a different Crossfire campaign developed by Remedy Entertainment launched in 2022 on Xbox consoles but was later shut down by Smilegate [1].
The next milestone for Crossfire is its forthcoming release, which has yet to be scheduled.
