Hi-Rez Studios, the makers of Smite and Tribes: Ascend, as we speak launched their newest multiplayer game. Rogue Company is a class-based, third-person shooter which, from what I’ve seen, seems to be like an arcade-y kinda Counter-Strike factor. Not fairly certain. Here’s the launch trailer which makes the game appear like one thing solely completely different.
And right here’s a gameplay vid from a couple of days in the past which truly reveals what it’s:
So there you see a round-based the place you possibly can objects and upgrades firstly of the spherical, then head out to assault or defend two bomb websites. Then every character has their very own lively means, everyone seems to be dodge-rolling round, you possibly can revive downed of us, and it seems to be a bit arcadier than CS on the whole. Nothing about it grabs me. But Hi-Rez don’t say a lot in regards to the game, so I’ll not go guessing at extra with out taking part in it myself.
Rogue Company does help cross-platform multiplayer, letting PC peeps play with buddies on Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch. Which, y’know, you couldn’t with CS or Valorant or such.
You should purchase early entry to Rogue Company from the Epic Games Store. It’s £12 for the Starter Founder’s Pack, then fancier editions run as much as a £50 Ultimate Founder’s Pack with a great deal of characters and cosmetics unlocked plus microtransaction virtuacash.
This is the primary game from First Watch Games, one other studio inside Hi-Rez. The full launch will observe later this 12 months, and I assume it’ll be free-to-play as a result of that’s Hi-Rez’s entire factor.
