An Iran-based animation studio called Korsar3D has reminded the world that it was also founded to create video games. The company announced that its debut game will be the shooter Revenge. Below you can see its first trailer, published two weeks ago.
- The devs describe the game as "a direct response to the work of its counterpart in the entertainment industry." It's not hard to guess that they are referring to Activision Blizzardand the Call of Duty series - although the comparison is greatly exaggerated.
- In Revenge players are expected to take on the role of members of a combined Iranian-Russian military force that is trying to stop the "evil" American army.
- The game will be directed by Farhad Azima - the creator of many propaganda films.
- He revealed (via PC Gamer) that in the first of seven missions we will go to Ukraine to destroy a secret American laboratory, where a virus is being produced that turns local residents into zombies attacking Russians.
- We have not learned the release date of Revenge or the platforms on which the game is to be released.
- What we do know is that Unreal Engine will be used for its creation - technology developed by American company Epic Games.
I think I have already written everything that is "worth" knowing about this game. The comment section is yours.
