About This Game

Direct Contact – The Ultimate Multiplayer Co-op & Single-Player Tactical Experience

Step into the boots of an elite special forces operative in Direct Contact, a next-generation UE5 multiplayer using co-op, and a single-player tactical shooter that delivers unparalleled realism and intensity. Designed for those who crave authentic military combat, this game immerses you and your team—or just you alone—in a world where every shot counts, every decision matters, and every mission tests skill and strategy.

With advanced ballistics simulation, precise weapon handling, and intelligent enemy AI, every engagement is high-stakes. Whether you're breaching enemy compounds, clearing buildings in close-quarters combat (CQB), or engaging foes at long range, teamwork, coordination, or strategic solo play is crucial to success.

Key Features:

  • True Tactical Gameplay – Play solo or with a team, using real-world military tactics to overcome dynamic and unpredictable enemy forces.

  • Authentic Weapon Systems – Every firearm is meticulously modeled for accuracy, handling, and realism.

  • Intense Co-op & Single-Player Combat Scenarios – Navigate diverse environments, from dense urban landscapes to open battlefields.

  • Advanced AI Enemies – Face foes that react intelligently, forcing you to adjust strategies whether playing alone or with friends.

  • Immersive Audio & Visuals – Stunning graphics and cinematic sound design pull you deeper into the battlefield.

  • Whether you're a seasoned veteran of tactical shooters or new to the genre, Direct Contact offers an experience where skill, precision, and teamwork—or individual tactics—determine your success.

The mission is yours. Are you ready to engage?

Air Support in Direct Contact

In Direct Contact, airstrikes are more than just firepower—they’re a visually stunning and immersive experience. You'll be able to call in strikes from iconic aircraft like the Eurofighter, F-18, A-10 Warthog, and Sukhoi Su-25, using laser-guided munitions or manual target designation.

When missiles launch, the process is as realistic as possible—from the missile bay ejector deploying the payload to the explosive impact on the battlefield. Every detail is designed for immersion, making air support a powerful and dynamic tool in combat.

Our Goal for Direct Contact

Our mission is to create an immersive and intense tactical shooter with realistic gameplay.

Every update pushes Direct Contact closer to our vision, improving customization, and enhancing performance. This is a community-driven game, and we’re committed to constant improvements and innovation to make it the best tactical experience possible.

Remember this is still an Early Acces Game!
