Focus Home Interactive and New World Interactive announced today that its FPS Insurgency: Sandstorm will be released on PC this September, with console versions for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One coming at a later date next year. A sequel to the indie game Insurgency, players will have to coordinate their attacks through tactical skirmishes in order to achieve victory behind enemy lines.
Insurgency: Sandstorm is a game of team-based tactics and objective-oriented gameplay in a fictional, contemporary Middle Eastern conflict, complete with player versus player, competitive matchmaking and co-operative game modes versus AI. Your soldier’s appearance, weapons, attachments, armor, and amount of carried ammo are all up to you. Call in airstrikes, use vehicles with mounted weapons, and equip a wide range of specialist weaponry from grenades to drones to C4 explosives.
Prepare for a hardcore depiction of combat with deadly ballistics, light attack vehicles, destructive artillery, and unprecedented audio design the injects tense fear back into the genre. Death comes fast, ammunition must be carefully managed, and the environment must be tactically navigated at every step toward victory.
