Hood Warfare 2 Developer: Who Is Trapstar Games?

Who made Hood Warfare 2?

Steam lists Trapstar Games as both developer and publisher. The October 8, 2026 launch announcement is signed Trap$tar and says the sequel arrived nearly four years after Hood Warfare.

No larger publisher is named on the listing. The studio sells the game itself through Steam at a $5.99 list price, with a $5.39 introductory offer until October 15; the release and price page has the purchase details.

What else has Trapstar Games made?

Hood Warfare, the first game, is set in Detroit and has the Bloods, Crips and Vatos as its gangs. It is still marked Early Access and sells for $4.99 in the US store. The Hood Warfare 1 vs 2 comparison sets the two side by side, including the zombies mode that only the first game lists.

What engine does Hood Warfare 2 use?

Unreal Engine 5. The store description says the sequel is built in Unreal Engine 5 with updated visuals and new weapon animations. The listed requirements include DirectX 12 and a six-core processor; the system requirements page has the full table.

Where does the developer post updates?

On Steam. Trapstar Games has posted three announcements for the sequel: the release date on October 4, the launch on October 8 and patch 1.0.10 on October 12. That patch calls itself one of many updates to come. The patch 1.0.10 breakdown lists its changes.

The patch notes also ask players to report bugs in the studio’s Discord. Neither the Steam store page nor the three announcements included a Discord link on October 13, so be careful with invites that turn up in search results.

How do you report a bug or a cheater?

These routes come from the patch 1.0.10 announcement and the Steam listing.

1. For a cheater, open the pause menu during the match and use Report. The developer says it reviews reports and bans players it judges to be cheating.
2. For a bug, the patch notes point to the studio’s Discord.
3. For other problems, the Steam listing gives a developer support email. Purchases and refunds go through Steam Support.

Was Hood Warfare 2 made with AI?

There is no confirmation either way. Steam asks developers to disclose generative AI content, and the Hood Warfare 2 store page showed no AI disclosure section on October 13, 2026.

A few Steam reviews claim AI was used. Those are player opinions; neither the developer’s announcements nor the press reports cited on this site address the question.

What does the developer say about the game’s theme?

The store page carries a disclaimer from the studio: the game is a work of fiction made for entertainment, does not portray real events, and does not promote or condone real-life gang violence. Steam’s mature content description lists violence, blood effects, crude humor and profanity. The review roundup covers the age ratings and what players think.
