Rebellion (Sniper Elite series) has announced that their new supernatural co-op shooter – Strange Brigade – will be hitting PS4, Xbox One and PC on August 28th 2018.
The 4 player Co-Op shooter will place you in the middle of an exotic and mysterious corner of 1930s Egypt, where you and your team will discover an army of mummies hell-bent on terror. Rebellion has stated that the game will throw traps, puzzles and hordes of monsters in your way, however each of the 4 characters will have their own weapons, tactics and supernatural powers that will help take on the horde.
The game is now available for pre-order which comes with a free Secret Service Weapons Pack which comes with the “butter-smooth” Wilkers & White P19 pistol, the “piercingly precise” Stoudenmire 960 submachine gun, and the “punch-packing” Gehrig-Delgane S1 rifle. A deluxe edition is also available which will contain the game’s Season Pass, which Rebellion promises new campaign missions, characters, weapons, items and more. The base game will be $50USD while the deluxe will put you back to $80USD.
