DENVER, COLORADO | MAR 13, 2012 - For those of you who thought that the INSURGENCY franchise was dead - boy were you wrong! Many of the original creators of the mod have returned from years of industry experience to resurrect the once popular game and turn it into something people would be interested in purchasing at a low cost. A small studio was formed in Denver, Colorado where the New World Interactive development team has been hard at work turning this sequel into a reality. Six months later, our core team of 3 onsite and 8 offsite developers are ready to introduce something quite refreshing to the FPS scene - INSURGENCY 2.
INS2 takes place in the present and near past in insurgencies that have taken place all throughout the world - Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia, Libya and Chechnya. The game's controls, teamwork focus, and high powered weapons make it feel in many ways like the original Source Mod, but the re-designed levels, new game modes, increased pace, and expanded loadout options have made the game much more accessible.
This project has been top secret over the past 6 months, but we have decided to allow the world to see what we've been working on at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco. The feedback was overall very positive! A surprising amount of former INS fans emerged, all of whom were shocked and excited to see a sequel in the works.
We will be releasing some video footage from GDC shortly just to show you guys that we were there, and we really have a game in the works. It may not be the best representation of gameplay as we were too busy talking to people instead of taking more video, but you guys can surely expect more media to come over the course of the coming months as the game continues to be polished.
