NEIGHBORS: Suburban Warfare

NEIGHBORS: Suburban Warfare is a team-based multiplayer brawler from Invisible Walls. Two neighborhoods compete against each other, fortify their houses, set traps and at the same time try to tear apart the opposing lot with improvised weapons and their characters' special abilities.

The game combines party game chaos with tactical preparation: before and during a round, defenses are placed, paths are barricaded and roles are divided within the team.

NEIGHBORS: Suburban Warfare launched in Steam Early Access on Apr 17, 2025. On Sept 29, 2026, version 1.0 was released. At the same time, native versions for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S were added and the business model switched to free-to-play.

Version 1.0 is available on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. The console versions were released together with the 1.0 and free-to-play launch on Sept 29, 2026.

A round constantly switches between attack and defense. Household items and improvised weapons are used to disrupt opposing players, while your own house is protected with barricades, traps and other defenses. The setup is deliberately easy to read and fast enough to be adjusted during ongoing matches.

The PC version requires at least Windows 10, an Intel Core i3-4130 or AMD FX-4150, 4 GB RAM, a GeForce GTX 650 Ti or Radeon HD 7850, DirectX 11 and 20 GB storage. Recommended are Windows 11, a Core i5-6600 or Ryzen 3 1200, 8 GB RAM and a GeForce GTX 970 or Radeon R9 280X.

The playable neighbors have different active abilities, items and perks. This creates roles for direct confrontation, support, area control or defense. Version 1.0 also added Gwen as another character.

Your own house is more than scenery. Windows, entrances and rooms can be secured, traps placed and defensive routes changed. The combination of house layout and equipment decides how easily enemies can break in or destroy targets.

The mode pool includes Destruction, Brawl and Prop Hunt. Robot Invasion is added as a co-op PvE mode against waves of attackers. The Xbox Store hosts online matches for 2 to 10 players.

Robot Invasion adds a PvE focus to the otherwise player-versus-player core concept. Players defend themselves together against robot units, using the same character, trap and base defence systems in a different rhythm.

With version 1.0, NEIGHBORS switched to free-to-play and was also expanded to consoles. The 1.0 release brings new content and reworked progression and shop systems; Early Access players received extra unlocks for the transition.
