- Al Capone vs. Elliott Ness, Anthropomorphic Tactical Stealth Game Launching in April
- 5-person team-based tactical stealth and enhanced environment systems, Commandos-style strategy game
French indie developer Super AC officially announced that its new real-time tactical stealth title, ‘Prohibeast,’ has entered the final development stage. Along with this, a feature trailer showcasing the game’s core mechanics and unique worldview was also released.
‘Prohibition’ is a tactical stealth game set in an alternate history Chicago where a ‘Meat Prohibition’ was enforced instead of Prohibition. Players lead a team of anthropomorphic Untouchables against criminal organizations and must navigate the game through strategic stealth and teamwork.
Chicago in an alternate history where meat, not alcohol, is banned
‘Prohibist’ is set in 1930s Chicago, but depicts an alternate history world different from reality. In this world, Prohibition no longer applies to alcohol but to meat, and it is set in an anthropomorphic world where humanoid animals live.
After meat consumption was completely banned, Al Capone seized control of the illegal meat trafficking business, built a massive criminal empire, and dominated the city. Players take control of the real-life historical figure Eliot Ness, leading the ‘Untouchables’ special forces unit on a mission to bring down the criminal organization.
Real-time tactical infiltration continuing the lineage of Commandos
The game bills itself as a real-time tactical stealth game, typified by the Commandos series, and the combination of team members with complementary abilities is the core of the strategy.
The team consists of leader Elliott Ness, veteran Malone B. Clonan, sniper Frank E. Eager, scientist and doctor Alice Curie, and undercover thief Tina Sanders.
Each mission can be solved using various approaches, such as infiltration, silent elimination, and strategic disruption, while complex environmental systems involving cover utilization, line of sight management, sound control, and enemy sight, hearing, and smell add depth to tactical operations. The exploration areas consist of iconic Chicago locations, including The Loop, the Mayor’s Mansion, and Lake Michigan Docks.
The debut title of an indie studio selected for ‘Games Made in France 2025’
Super AC is a Paris-based French indie game publisher and developer. ‘Prohibist’ is their first title, and it garnered attention after being selected as an official entry for ‘Games Made in France 2025 (GMIF2025),’ a French game industry promotion event, in May 2025.
It has garnered attention from international media for its unique worldview and strategic design, and is rapidly building its presence on Steam wishlists. Currently, the development team is focusing on balance adjustments, optimization, and finalizing content ahead of the launch.
“A new tactical stealth title after a long time”… Anticipation from both media and users
The community and international media are paying attention to ‘Prohibist’ as a new title targeting the tactical stealth genre, which has been dormant for a long time. Some outlets have positively evaluated its unique visuals and concept, stating that “the anthropomorphic style leaves a strong impression.”
Furthermore, describing it as a “work that adds a new variation to the tactical stealth genre,” the atmosphere created by the alternate history and character settings was highly praised. Reactions such as “I have been waiting a long time for a new title in this genre” have also been pouring in from the Steam community, and expectations among strategy game fans are gradually rising.
The PC version of ‘ProHibist’ is scheduled for release on Steam and the Epic Games Store in April 2026.
