In preparation for the upcoming closed beta of Insurgency: Sandstorm, developer New World Interactive has just released several new gameplay scenes today.

Gameplay Updates

Insurgency Sandstorm's gameplay is designed to reward teamwork and a goal-based approach above personal success. New features will include:

• Easily controllable vehicles
• Character customizations
• Unlockable items
• Fire supports
• Ranked matches

New unrivalled sound design with positional voice chat is supposed to make teamwork more realistic. Reworked ambient sounds will also bring the battlefield to life.

Whether you prefer playing run-and-gun or customizing everything to your own liking, each map will offer extensive opportunities for development.

There will be four game modes available for the planned PC beta, including Firefight, Push, Checkpoint, and Skirmish - each affecting the accessible areas of the map and the strategy needed to win.

The first preorder beta will be available from August 9th to 13th. It will include three cards (plus four game modes: Firefight, Push, Checkpoint, and Skirmish). The second preorder beta is scheduled to start on August 30 with three additional cards.

The full version for PC, Mac, and Linux will follow in September, while the implementation for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One is planned for 2019. If you want to get the game for the cheapest price possible, make sure to check out our price comparison.
