Cancel Studio is an independent game studio in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. THE YARD (البرحة) is its first game.
Short description
THE YARD (البرحة) is a raw 1v1 tactical shooter set in a Riyadh junkyard. Win the duel, then choose your opponent’s fate: spare or end.
More about the game
THE YARD (البرحة) is a 1v1 tactical first-person shooter from Cancel Studio, made in Riyadh and set in one of its junkyards: unfinished concrete frames, corrugated sheds, rusted cars and sand.
Every match is two players in one yard. No squads, no bots, no respawning teammates. Every move has weight and no two duels end the same. When one player goes down, the winner decides: spare them, and they can walk out and come back for another round, or end it.
Season Zero brings the first map, 196 Yard “Naughty”, two operators, Quick Play, Private Game and the Firing Range. THE YARD is planned for PC on Steam in 2027, in Arabic and English.
