Bodycam

Bodycam is a tactical multiplayer shooter from Reissad Studio that stages firefights from the heavily distorted perspective of a body-worn camera. The game uses Unreal Engine 5 and focuses on short sightlines, harsh contrasts, reduced on-screen information and photorealistic maps.

The focus is on competitive online matches. The unusual camera view is more than a filter: orientation, angles, sounds and communication with the team play a much bigger role than in classic arena shooters.

Bodycam launched in Steam Early Access on June 7, 2024. Since then, Reissad Studio has continued developing the shooter together with the community, adding larger systems, maps, weapons and technical improvements through extensive updates.

No date for version 1.0 has been set yet. The Early Access description cites a development period of several years as a realistic possibility and makes completion dependent on the planned core features and their quality.

The officially released version of Bodycam is currently available only for Windows PC via Steam. A native PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo or mobile version has not been confirmed at this time.

On PC, Bodycam supports Xbox controllers and DualSense controllers via USB, according to Steam. However, controller support does not change the fact that the released version is currently a PC-only version.

Bodycam focuses on fast tactical firefights from a first-person perspective. Its core PvP modes include Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch and Wingman. Positioning, team communication and the controlled use of sightlines are meant to decide matches, especially in tight indoor spaces and on winding maps.

Weapons can be extensively customised. In addition, there are physics-based movement and animation systems and tactical tools that Reissad Studio is expanding through larger updates. Alongside the competitive modes, Bodycam also features cooperative content.

Bodycam requires a relatively powerful PC running Windows 10 or 11. As minimum, Reissad Studio lists, among others, a Ryzen 7 3700X or Core i7-9700K, 8 GB RAM, and a Radeon RX 5700 or GeForce RTX 2070, each with 8 GB VRAM. 16 GB RAM and a Radeon RX 6600 XT or GeForce RTX 3060 are recommended. Installation requires 50 GB of free storage; an SSD is recommended.

Alongside PvP, Bodycam has a cooperative Zombies mode. Players team up against waves of enemies, unlock new areas and manage their resources between attacks. The mode is a permanent pillar of the game and not a time-limited event.

With the major update v0.8 “Locked & Loaded”, Reissad Studio permanently reworked several fundamental systems in September 2026. These include a much more extensive loadout and weapon customisation system, rebuilt weapon animations and reload sequences, and a reworked user interface around the tactical tablet.

The update also expands tactical options with remote-controlled drones and RC vehicles and adds new map and progression building blocks. As a result, Locked & Loaded changes not just individual balance values but the long-term structure of equipment, controls and competitive modes.
