RIGS: Mechanized Combat League is a competitive first-person arena shooter where you pilot highly-tuned, athletic machines and compete in the global sport of the future.

Set in the near future, RIGS is a PlayStation VR, title where players pilot giant, mechanized athletic fighting machines known as RIGS. These challengers, and their teams, will compete in stunning, purpose-built RIGS Arenas located in major cities all around the world.

Building on the FPS skill set that Guerrilla is renowned for, RIGS delivers a new take by adding sophisticated and athletic fighting machinery and competitive sports. As a launch title for PlayStation VR, RIGS delivers a unique VR experience and a fully realised sense of presence for the player.

RIGS is built to deliver a deep and engaging experience on PlayStation VR. With multiple game modes and hero RIGS at their disposal, players will be able to adapt their approach to fit their personal playstyle and team’s tactics.

Sony has revealed that, after 19 years of serivce, it will be shutting down its Guerilla Games Cambridge (previously known as SCEE Cambridge Studio) studio.

In order to deliver on our strategic objectives, it is necessary to make some changes to the European studios structure.

Whilst we accept that this decision will mean that we risk losing high calibre staff, by focusing on other Studios with exciting new projects in development, (including continued work on PlayStation VR), we believe we will be in a stronger position going forward and able to offer the best possible content of the highest quality to our players.

This decision should not take anything away from the incredible games and services that Guerrilla Cambridge has delivered.

Guerrilla Games Amsterdam, known for the Killzone series and currently working on Horizon: Zero Dawn, is not affected by any of the layoffs/review.

Key Features:

  • Single Player Career Mode - A compelling single player experience will push your skills to the limit against fierce AI competition. Following the single player mode will grant you access to new and more powerful RIGS that can be used online as you progress.
  • Online Multiplayer - Choose your team and RIG and take to the field in an intense online multiplayer match. Play for fame and fortune in the Mechanized Combat League.
  • Multiple battle-ready RIGS - Jump into the action by piloting one of four distinct classes of RIG each with their own characteristics. Each RIG is affiliated with a team that provides unique special abilities that will make them handle and play totally differently from other RIGS from the same class.
  • Unique Arenas and challenging game modes - With multiple exciting game arenas and modes, RIGS is packed with variety. Each arena has its own unique challenges and a different tactical approach will be needed for each game mode.
