Insurgency: Sandstorm renounces its own singleplayer campaign

Insurgency: Sandstorm is an upcoming tactical shooter from first person which as a third part of the Insurgency series should contain an ambitious story mode for one player. Namely, the campaign is designed as a singleplayer or cooperative experience for four players which take on the role of Iraqi rebels and her best friend then American soldier and French rookie in a special mission in the Iraqi war zone.

However, the developer New World Interactive has decided to adjust its priorities slightly, so her shooter, that launches Unreal Engine 4, will forget the story campaign until further notice, and the whole focus will divert to multiplayer components.

"Singleplayer and co-operative story are currently canceled, and we will consider [work and announcement] later on. This is due to its high production requirements and our commitment to deliver to our fans in 2018. The story was a very exciting and new opportunity for us as a team, but we felt we had to make a choice", says the main and responsible designer of Insurgency: Sandstorm.

"At this moment," she said, "it’s more important to us that we deliver a full multiplayer and coop experience that improves on Insurgency; one that is true to our style and what we feel we do best." We know that some of you this decision may be unexpected and we are sorry we had to share this news, but that was a change our team had to make".
