Update on Wiki Status
Hello, I'm a new admin here. If you couldn't tell, there's a revamp going on.
The Insurgency Wiki is over a decade old, and many articles reflect this. Scrolling through some parts, you'd think Insurgency: Sandstorm isn't even out yet! (It has in fact been out for several years; six years, to be exact.) It's no surprise that the Insurgency Wiki has been all but abandoned for a while now, which is understandable. Yet, Insurgency is still a successful series that many people play; we even got confirmation last year that New World Interactive and its parent company Saber Interactive have been rescued from Embracer Group's chopping block, and the series will carry on! The Insurgency community deserves a good repository of information that'll last howeve…
Sandstorm Release Date
The release date is online on the Sandstorm website at http://insurgency-sandstorm.com/
The beta is already accessible for people who pre-order the game. For more information, see the Insurgency: Sandstorm article. For the contents of the game, see portal:Insurgency: Sandstorm
New Insurgency: Sandstorm Info
Two videos from E3 give us a whole lot of new information on Insurgency: Sandstorm. Many pages are already updated, including the Classes of Insurgency: Sandstorm article. We also got eyes on which weapons will be in the game.
Now it should be noted that we are not entirely sure if weapons will be limited per team. In the E3 gameplay it looks like all weapons are usable by both teams, but that could also be for demonstration.
Furthermore:
- Sandstorm keeps the Supply Points system from Insurgency.
- Players will not only be able to call in support, there is also a class which can deploy machine guns.
- There are Binoculars.
- There will be replay tools/spectator tools.
- Players are able to customise their character's voice.
- Carrying a knife seems optional.…
Insurgency: Sandstorm Release Date
NWI announced a release date estimation for Insurgency: Sandstorm:
September 2018 for PC
Q1 2019 for console
The price has also been set:
$ 29
Players who bought Insurgency will get a 10% discount. Pre-ordering the game also gives an additional 10% off.
Sandstorm - Reload Mechanics
We got another Insurgency: Sandstorm gameplay video, showing off reload mechanics. Reloads in Sandstorm are even more realistic. If the reloading is interrupted, the weapon will be as it should be in real life. For example, the magazine already fell out but you need to switch to your sidearm to defend yourself. When you switch back to your primary, there will still be one round in the chamber. Pressing reload will make your character load a new magazine, which will be faster than a normal reload because the previous mag was already ejected.
Insurgency: Sandstorm News
Today we got a massive update for Insurgency: Sandstorm. Due to the media embargo, NWI wasn't able to upload images from the studio about the game, but that embargo ended today. Which means we can expect some more news on the way, and maybe some screenshots like the two here on the right.
Sandstorm will be released in 2018, and NWI hopes to release a closed alpha at the end of this year. Unlike Insurgency, Insurgency: Sandstorm will be available for the PS4 and Xbox 1, as well as on Steam. To make this possible, the game doesn't run on Valve's Source engine, but on Unreal Engine 4.
We can expect bigger maps, with longer range engagements. This will also help for the following point:
YES! I personally am a big fan of using vehicles in games. T…

NWI Website, Forums, and Roadmaps Launched
New World Interactive has relaunched their company website at https://newworldinteractive.com - along with the relaunch of their official forums. This is after the forums were shut down nearly 10 months ago after the site was compromised. Additionally, there is also a Roadmap on Trello that you can use to follow the development of what NWI is working on next, what's being tested, and submit requests that you'd like to see in Insurgency.
These resources will allow the Wiki to stay more up to date with the developers and the community. Sections of developer blogs can be added to pages in the form of trivia, and various technical aspects of the game may be revealed through these mediums.
And P.S., the NWI homepage has a direct link to the Insur…

The Embassy Update for Insurgency is out. This update adds the Embassy map, the compass, and new communication features.
