Ticking the clock back to this past Septmber almost a year ago, publisher Hi-Rez Studios and developer First Watch Games announced Rogue Company. This new project underway was shown to be a third-person action shooter infusing tactical gameplay with strategic teamwork and abilities unique to each character in the game’s roster. However, the forecast for the game’s arrival was left out regarding the finer details.
Fast forwarding to this recent March, the two firms returned to unveil a gameplay overview for Rogue Company. In the aforementioned footage provided, the video concludes by disclosing that the title’s launch will take place later in the then-approaching summer.

Players can either purchase the respected editions out now for instant access to the game’s closed beta or sign-up on the game’s website for a key to the exclusive playtest.
