Focus Home Interactive and New World Interactive have released the first alpha gameplay screenshots for Insurgency: Sandstorm. Insurgency: Sandstorm is built in Unreal Engine 4 with upgraded graphics, promising to take the series into a new era.
The game will feature extended gameplay possibilities, improved immersion, as well as new co-op and versus objective-based game modes, while also retaining the lethal tactical action that made Insurgency the worldwide phenomenon it is today.
In Insurgency: Sandstorm, players will experience kinetic, gritty, and immersive combat on a modern battlefield that strikes a balance between action and simulation gameplay. Both you and your enemies can die in as few as one or two shots; there is no health bar, kill feed, crosshair, or regenerating health. Teams must move with speed and fluidity as they weave through dense urban environments, capturing and destroying vital enemy objectives.
Each weapon has unique ballistic calculations that take into account bullet drop, travel time, and penetration power. Bullets are tracked realistically in each magazine container, and magazines do not automatically merge together. Players can choose to drop magazines for faster reloads in dangerous situations, carefully open doors to keep quiet, or bash them down with a shoulder charge.
The game is currently planned for a 2018 release.
Enjoy!

Dissapointed about the campaign delay/cancel, but still looking forward to the game. I hope they’ll have an Alpha test in the near future!
Most of these look to be from Buhriz. Also, gross. From the looks of it right now, the robust modding community that currently exists is going to be pretty much gone. I don’t foresee half the mods working or looking similar in Unreal engine. Kind of crap news for me as I have 8 pages of mods installed.
I’ve been playing this game for 10 years and I’m not honestly sold on Sandstorm yet.
Source > Unreal enignes
For modding and overall stability yes.
the movement in Source is far superior, where as UE is too floaty.
Fine, UE4 is a better looking engine, but i’d much rather take solid movement and gameplay over pretty graphics.
