2K Games and Yager Development’s Spec Ops: The Line will debut for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC on June 26 in North America, and on June 29 internationally, it has been announced.
Consumers who pre-order The Line will receive a free upgrade to the Premium Edition, which includes the following bonus multiplayer content:
- Twice the amount of experience points will be awarded during the first week of play, enabling gamers to expedite character ranking.
- The AK-47 weapon will unlock at rank one.
- The Officer Class will unlock at rank one. This character class includes several team-based advantages, such as reducing damage to teammates and increasing the effectiveness of other classes.
- Access to the FUBAR Pack, which contains exclusive accessories allowing players to customize their characters with unique and visually distinctive items.
Spec Ops: The Line sees the city of Dubai buried under after a series of cataclysmic sandstorms. As Captain Martin Walker, players will traverse the city in search of Colonel John Konrad and his missing battalion, The Damned 33rd, utilizing the sand element in what 2K describes as a “gripping third-person shooter.” It aims to create a game that “explores the dark realities of war and places players in difficult situations where the line between right and wrong becomes increasingly blurred as players fight to survive.”
The game’s multiplayer mode is an “expansive, class-based” experience. It features squad-based games set in the sandstorm torn Dubai.
