New World Interactive arbetar för fulla muggar med uppföljaren till Half-Life 2-modden Insurgency och i samband med en ny pressrelease (nedan) skickade studion oss en bunt nya bilder. Eller nej, nu tog jag i. Det handlar inte om någon bunt, alls. Det handlar om två ynka screenshots som inte innehåller vare sig action eller Pippa Funell. Men-men, de ligger nedan - oavsett.
Saxat från pressreleasen:
The developers behind Insurgency and Day of Infamy are excited to present more information about key features, screenshots and concept art illustrating the story premise behind their next first-person military shooter in development titled Insurgency: Sandstorm. Insurgency: Sandstorm, published by Focus Home Interactive, is New World's sequel to Insurgency, which will take the renowned shooter to consoles as well as Steam coming in 2018. Sandstorm takes a graphical leap to Unreal Engine 4, but at its core will still feature the close-quarters infantry combat for multiplayer and cooperative gameplay that has established Insurgency as a cult classic for over 3 million players on Steam.
New World is also venturing into new territory with a story mode for 4-player cooperative and single-player gameplay. A groundbreaking narrative for the shooter genre, the story of Insurgency: Sandstorm focuses on a female protagonist who is a Yazidi Kurd. Thematically, the game is inspired by real events and people, however this is a fictional story and characters.
"We are very excited to venture into the realm of storytelling to offer more depth for Insurgency. Shooters do not have to be about mindless killing, so players can stop and ask questions about the world a game represents, and find answers within the narrative," said New World Creative Director Andrew Spearin. "Historically, the avant garde in many art forms are who disrupt and redefine genres. For a decade Insurgency has been in that position, and we are emerging from indie obscurity to innovate the FPS genre."
Jeremy Blum - Founder and Game Director of New World Interactive
"We are very excited about working with Focus on Insurgency: Sandstorm. We believe there's a great opportunity for Insurgency on next-gen consoles and that aligning with a strong publisher will allow us to best leverage this. Considering our background, it was not easy finding a publisher we felt compatible with. We decided to work with Focus because they understand our game and they believe in our vision. In addition, they bring a wealth of knowledge when it comes to shipping console games and marketing to that audience."
