Insurgency: Sandstorm releases December 12^th on Windows PC, Pre-order Beta extended

Originally planned for 18 September 2018, Insurgency: Sandstorm, the sequel to the indie shooter Insurgency, will now release for Windows PC on December 12^th.

Steam pre-orders, including the 10% discount, will still be available until the new release date on December 12^th, and continue to grant pre-purchasers instant access to the ongoing beta.

The additional 10% loyalty discount for owners of the original Insurgency will now be extended until the end of March. We invite eager players to take part in the beta and leave feedback on everything from optimization to game balance.

Insurgency: Sandstorm is a team-based, tactical FPS based on  close quarters combat and objective-oriented multiplayer gameplay for PC and consoles. Insurgency: Sandstorm is the sequel to the original and marks the first time  it comes to consoles – improved, expanded, and bigger in every way.

Experience the intensity of modern combat where skill is rewarded, and teamwork wins the fight. Prepare for a depiction of combat with deadly ballistics, light attack vehicles, destructive artillery, and HDR audio putting the fear back into the genre.
