Rogue Trooper, the cult classic cover-based third-person shooter based on the 2000 A.D. comic book universe, is getting revived for the current generation of consoles.
Rebellion has enlisted TickTock Games to aid in the development of this HD remaster, the first time a studio outside of Rebellion has worked on the property. The original Rogue Trooper released on PlayStation 2, Xbox, and PC in 2006. In the June 2006 issue of Game Informer, editor Jeremy Zoss gave the game a score of 7.25, calling it "solid, if by-the-numbers" and praising its cover mechanics and two-player co-op, while lamenting the bland graphics and familiar gameplay.

This teaser has no footage of the game in action, but hopefully we'll be getting a proper trailer soon. In addition to this revival, Rebellion has announced that they will be licensing out the property to other publishers and developers, meaning we may be seeing 2000 A.D. game announcements in the near future. Perhaps a new Judge Dredd game is in the cards? The last one wasn't so hot (as demonstrated in the Roulette portion of GI's Replay of Silent Hill), so if any developer wants to revive the dead license, Arkham Asylum-style, now's the time to strike!
Rogue Trooper Redux has no release date yet, but is said to be "coming soon" for Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

Our Take:
Burnout Revenge, Black, Resistance: Fall of Man, Splinter Cell: Double Agent... Of all the games from 2006 to receive the remaster treatment, we can't say that Rogue Trooper was at the top of our list. Still, it may prove to be a pleasant surprise for fans of the license and of solidly workmanlike shooting mechanics. Extra points if the split-screen co-op is retained for this upgrade.
