Unrecord, the bodycam shooter that went viral in 2023 thanks to its hyperrealistic graphics, has been in production for a while already, but Drama Studios, the studio behind the game, has just announced that it has secured the requisite funding to "build the best game possible." This isn't the first round of funding that Drama Studios has received for Unrecord, with the outfit previously being awarded $2.5 million from The Games Fund in 2024. The new round of funding means that the game's development is in full swing, and the studio will be growing yet again. The game is currently available to wishlist on Steam, and it seems to remain popular, having amassed over 130,000 followers since 2023. There is still no release date attached to the game, however.

According to GamesIndustry.biz , some of this funding came from Tencent, who purchased a minority stake in the French game studio, although there aren't many details on how much exactly Tencent has invested in the indie studio. However, a recent post on the game's X account says that the studio has grown from two developers to 10 and is and that the company is now hiring more developers to work on the game. It has also promised an updated look at gameplay footage for Unrecord in 2026. Unrecord has not been without controversy, with dissenters labeling the game's premise exploitative—specifically because it hinges on realistic bodycam-style visuals and depictions of violent police interactions and abuse of power.
