Tripwire Interactive announces
Rising Storm is now available via digital
distribution
as planned, offering the
latest installment in their
Red Orchestra series of World War II
shooters. This time our tour of duty is the war in the Pacific: "Rising Storm is
a complete new multi-player game, focusing on the fighting in the Pacific
Theater of WWII, with the US Army and Marine Corps taking on the Imperial
Japanese Army." Here's
a
launch trailer and here's a feature list:
- Large Scale Multi-player Combat in The Pacific: Take part in the brutal
fighting in the Pacific online with up to 64 players at a time.
Iconic Battles: Experience iconic battles such as Iwo Jima, Saipan, and
Guadalcanal as the US military struggles to clear the Japanese from the
islands in the Pacific.
- Asymmetrical Gameplay: Far from the mirrored gameplay seen in other
shooters, both sides utilize historical weapon sets and each has unique
gameplay capabilities. American firepower is matched by Japanese ferocity
and guile with such features as banzai charges, booby-traps, the infamous
“knee mortar” and more. This creates a unique gameplay experience that can’t
be found anywhere else.
- WWII weaponry redefined – again: all of the weapon functionality you
expect from the franchise returns - true to life ballistics, bullet
penetration, breathing, adjustable sights, free aim, weapon bracing, and
more, create WWII weaponry that has no equal. To that add over 20 new
weapons including the devastating flamethrower and the portable “knee
mortar”.
- Morale: Your soldier’s state of mind plays a bigger role than ever.
Banzai charging Japanese soldiers can heavily suppress the Americans making
it difficult to return fire and allowing the Japanese to close the distance.
The Americans can use their firepower advantage to suppress their enemies
and gain the advantage!
- Bonus Content: All Red Orchestra 2 multiplayer content is included with
Rising Storm as a free bonus. Fight in the Pacific, then fight on the
Eastern Front at any time, all in the same game and same server browser.
