by Rainier on Nov. 5, 2020 @ 10:09 a.m. PST

Rogue Company is an energetic team-based multiplayer shooter, delivering action, tactics and a whole lot of attitude.

Taking on million dollar contracts from governments and special interests, Rogue Company is a vigilante force going where governments can’t to stop credible and imminent threats. Relying on public opinion and popular support, many Rogues embrace their newfound celebrity. Elite, sexy and paid, Rogue Company operates between the lines and on the run.

Rogue Company is a top-secret syndicate of elite mercenaries who carry out paid contracts to combat the world’s biggest wrongs. Rogue Company is an outlaw solution to a broken system. To most of the world, the elusive organization is a rumor at best. However, to those in the know, Rogue Company operatives are indispensable to solving the world’s deadliest and most challenging missions. As a Rogue Company mercenary, players will group up, grab their weapon of choice, and dive into iconic locations to compete online in various PVP game modes.

Rogue Company features feature crossplay on all major platforms, an ever-growing roster of mercenaries, game modes, weapons and gadgets.

Team up with friends, regardless of platform, and climb the ranks of Rogue Company.

Save the day. Look good. Get paid.

Hi-Rez Studios' cross-platform team shooter Rogue Company will be a launch title for Xbox Series X/S on 10 November, and will be running at native 4k@120 fps on Series X and 1440@120 fps on Series S with full cross-play and cross-save with Switch, PS4, Xbox One and PC.

In other news, the stylish new rogue 'Fixer' (an American sniper-for-hire featuring new weapons and abilities) plus Ranked competitive matches are going live in game today.

If you are searching for a heap of southern hospitality, then look no further than Rogue Company’s All the Fixins’ update. Straight out of Atlanta, we’re introducing a new Rogue who has a reputation for precision and panache unlike anything you’ve seen before! With two brand new weapons and Cluster Smoke ability, hope that you see him before he sees you.
