New World Interactive is overhauling its realistic first-person shooter with Insurgency: Sandstorm coming to console and PC in 2017. Partnering with Focus Home Interactive, the game will be build from the ground up in Unreal Engine 4.
“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.”
Jeremy Blum – Founder and Game Director of New World Interactive
Insurgency: Sandstorm will include a new story mode and classic multiplayer and cooperative gameplay from the original.
