New World Interactive confirms the indefinite delay of the PS4 and Xbox One version of Insurgency: Sandstorm. They explore launching it in the new generation.
New World Interactive and Focus Home Interactive confirm the indefinite delay of the versions of Insurgency: Sandstorm for PS4 and Xbox One. Initially expected for August 25, the date is moving to an unknown point at the moment.
Developer and publisher have shared a statement expressing the reasons for this decision. They acknowledge that the work of this transfer has been good, but they cannot guarantee reaching the final objective in two months. “We know that this is disappointing news for all those who have been waiting for its launch on the console, and we know that you have waited a long time to receive new news,” they confess.
Not everything is bad. They explain that this additional time will allow them to “improve the day one experience” in what will be the debut of the console studio. What will be a “more complete and optimized” game in the current generation does not evade the news about PS5 and Xbox Series X. “We explore the exciting possibilities of launching new generation consoles,” they say.
They advise their followers to stay tuned to the studio’s official networks to learn exactly what the next step in the race to bring Insurgency: Sandstorm to console is. Although its managers do not speak explicitly about COVID-19, the truth is that the current health crisis has had a full impact on all producers on the planet.
The Insurgency saga offers a different point of view to first-person war shooters. Mix Counter Strike tactical action with a clean interface devoid of any information. It’s you, the map signs and your companions. Voice communication is essential to survive their intense fighting. Difficult to access, but rewarding when you master it; That is the spirit that New World Interactive wants to offer. If you still have the bug to try it, the title is available on PC through Steam.
