Rebellion Remake Rumble Reaches Rogue Trooper

Because alliteration is cool! Anyway, for those who don’t know, Rogue Trooper was a comic book adaptation from the distant days of 2006. It’s also an early example of covered based shooting, earlier even than the infamous Gears of War franchise, which everyone knows “invented” cover shooting. It was actually ahead of its time in just about every way, even if it flew under most peoples’ radars.

Well not this time!

Rebellion have come a long way in the last decade, with the Sniper Elite series alone making them a household name. So the upcoming remaster, as well as being yet another Rebellion game given a new coat of paint, will also have the chance it deserves, to get the recognition it deserves. The main thing I’m wondering, though, is does this mean Dredd Versus Death will also get a remaster? Perhaps might even lead to a new, not shit, Judge Dredd game. ‘Cause that would be bad-ass.

Rogue Trooper Redux will release across all major platforms in the near future.

Official Press Release

The most feared soldier on Nu Earth is back in business! ROGUE TROOPER REDUX will bring 2000 AD®’s blue-skinned GI to Nintendo Switch™, PlayStation®4, Xbox One and PC.

Watch the teaser trailer >>

In 2006, the original ROGUE TROOPER set the benchmark for video game adaptations of comic books. Developed by Rebellion®, the studio behind Sniper Elite 4 and owners of British comic book powerhouse 2000 AD®, it was widely acclaimed for bringing the cult sci-fi strip to life in an authentic, tactical, cover-based third-person shooter that debuted before the genre became the gaming staple it is today.

ROGUE TROOPER REDUX will remaster the Rebellion® classic for a new generation of players, taking them to the chem-blasted battlefields of Nu Earth. Rogue, a bio-engineered Genetic Infantryman (or “GI”) immune to the planet’s poisonous atmosphere, is the last soldier standing against the colonial Nort regime. Carrying three fallen comrades as biochips in his equipment, Rogue is a one-unit squad of death and destruction, and he only has one thing on his mind – REVENGE.

ROGUE TROOPER REDUX is being developed in partnership with experienced UK studio TickTock Games, making it the first 2000 AD® game developed outside of Rebellion®. The game also marks the first of potentially many externally developed 2000 AD® games after announcing it will open up its wealth of iconic IP – such as Judge Dredd and Sláine – to other developers.
