Après avoir annoncé il y a peu la future résurrection de Jagged Alliance, THQ revient sur le devant de la scène cet été avec l’annonce aujourd’hui du troisième volet de la sympathique série Desperados. Suite dont la réalisation sera confiée au studio Mimimi, à qui l’on doit le réussi Shadow Tactics – Blades of the Shogun (voir cet article).
Desperados III proposera un gameplay façon Commandos mêlant temps réel, gestion d’une équipe de héros mercenaires, jusqu’à cinq personnages aux talents très différents et complémentaires, puis des missions où il s’agira de bien choisir différentes approches plus ou moins discrètes selon les cas. Le tout devant se dérouler dans un Ouest américain encore plus sauvage que nature, et offrant des décors très soignés visuellement.
Pour plus d’informations sur Desperados III, dont la sortie est prévue sur PC et consoles on ne sait quand en 2019, voyez le site officiel.
Communiqué
Desperaun… Desperados… Desperatres! THQ Nordic & Mimimi announce Desperados III
Vienna, Austria/ Munich, Germany, August 21st, 2018: The Wild West. A place where the law is made by those with a gun in their hands, and is enforced by the henchmen at their command. A place where death is no stranger and the undertakers are working overtime… especially when people start playing Desperados III.
This real-time tactics game, developed by German game studio Mimimi (who earned their spurs with the critically acclaimed title Shadow Tactics: Blades Of The Shogun), lets players command a band of Desperados led by fan-favourite gunslinger John Cooper, who’s hunting down his nemesis.
Heavily inspired by the first game of the franchise, Desperados: Wanted Dead or Alive, Desperados III will allow the player to approach each mission with a wide variety of different solutions and routes. As the player’s gang will always be outnumbered, only smart use of both the environment and each Desperado’s unique character skills will guarantee a victorious outcome.
Desperados III will ambush your PC, your PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, and your Xbox One family of devices including Xbox One X in 2019.
