R2C Games, a small independent studio from Romania, has announced Balkan Vice: Callatis, an open-world RPG about building a casino business in a fading Black Sea resort town in the early 2000s. The Steam and Epic Games Store pages are live now, and a playable demo is planned for 2027.

You play as Florin, a young man searching for somewhere to belong. In Callatis, you’ll make connections, drive through a city you barely know, and build a casino business as every success makes walking away more difficult.

Balkan Vice: Callatis is a story driven unique blend of Open world RPG and management with a great Balkan flavor portraying the culture of the 2000s Balkans.

Key Features

• Explore Callatis: A post-communist Black Sea resort full of concrete blocks, seaside hotels and shipyard cranes.
• Run your own casino: Place the machines, tune their win rates, and keep the trick from getting too obvious.
• Don’t push your luck: Customers notice when the odds turn on them, and some take it out on the machines.
• Follow Florin’s story: Take on missions for the locals and earn your place in town.
• Drive anywhere: Free-roam the city at your own pace.

Availability

Balkan Vice: Callatis will launch on Epic Games Store and Steam on PC & Steam Deck. Release date TBA. A playable demo is planned for 2027.
