Hood Warfare 2 has reached a peak of 4,491 concurrent players on Steam, less than a week after its October 8 launch. The multiplayer shooter costs about $5, a sharp jump in reach for a series whose first game peaked at 68 Steam players.
Its Call of Duty-style pitch rests on familiar multiplayer FPS staples: rival gangs fighting for control of Chicago, weapon attachments, perks, and equipment. Players can customize guns with sights, magazines, grips, suppressors, and other parts, then take on maps such as downtown, the suburbs, The Trenches, and Chicago Mall.
Hood Warfare 2 is built in Unreal Engine 5, with updated visuals and new weapon animations. Steam reviews were 74% positive across 346 reviews. Feedback also included complaints about spawn camping and comments that the fun wore off quickly, so the response has not been unanimous.
