Insurgency: Sandstorm is a multiplayer tactical first-person shooter game. The game was developed by New World Interactive and published by Focus Home Interactive. It’s a sequel to the 2014 game, Insurgency. Set in a fictional Middle Eastern region, the game showcases a conflict between two factions: “Security” and “Insurgents.”

Security represents various military forces, including NATO and private military companies, while Insurgents are akin to paramilitary and terrorist groups. The game emphasizes realistic gameplay, lacking traditional HUD elements like health bars and minimaps. Players can choose from eight classes, each with distinct weapons and equipment. The gameplay focuses on teamwork, realistic weapons, and strategic combat.

Insurgency Sandstorm Release

Insurgency: Sandstorm was released on December 12, 2018, for Microsoft Windows. Initially, there were plans for Linux and macOS versions, but they were canceled in December 2019. The game faced delays for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One releases, pushing the dates from 2019 to early 2020 and then to August 2020.

Ultimately, the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S versions were launched on September 29, 2021.

The game features drivable vehicles, large maps, and a fire support system, adding depth to the tactical experience.
