About Hood Warfare and Hood Warfare 2
Hood Warfare and Hood Warfare 2 are paid Windows shooters from Trapstar Games. They are not browser games, and this site does not embed them. Buy them on Steam if you want to play. Steam prices move, so check the store page rather than a number copied into a guide.
The original Hood Warfare launched in Early Access on January 26, 2023. Trapstar describes it as a chaotic FPS set in Detroit, where you pick a side and fight across maps such as downtown, the suburbs, a police station, and an abandoned mall. Steam lists it as a Unity game for Windows. Store text names modes including Gang Warfare, Turf War, Chaos, Gangbang, three-gang variants, and a zombies mode.
Hood Warfare 2 came out on Steam on October 8, 2026. Trapstar sets it in Chicago and says it is built in Unreal Engine 5, with custom weapons and new maps: downtown, the suburbs, The Trenches, and Chicago Mall. The studio's match page lists six modes: Turf War, GangBang, Chaos, Hit A Lick, Destroy The Block, and Chain Snatch. You host or join from inside the Windows game, and you can fill teams with bots.
English is the language called out for Hood Warfare 2, and Windows is the platform. The match page points players at the in-game requirements screen for Windows 10 versus 11 and for memory. There is no Mac or Linux build described there, and there is no official browser port to put in an iframe.
