ShooterofIO: Modern Ops is an upcoming first-person shooter game developed by SOI Studios and published by Mob Productions. It is the twelfth installment in the ShooterofIO series and a reboot of the Modern Ops sub-series, which began with ShooterofIO 1: Modern Ops (2007). The game is scheduled to be released worldwide on November 5, 2019, for Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.[1]

The title was confirmed on March 10, 2019, after appearing early through a publisher listing and related promotional material.[2] Mob Productions later confirmed the game as a reboot and announced that it would use SOI Engine 2, a new iteration of the series' game engine.[3][4] The game was formally revealed on June 10, 2019, with a focus on its open-world campaign, competitive multiplayer, and the post-launch experience ShooterofIO: Wargrounds 2.0.[5]

Gameplay

ShooterofIO: Modern Ops will be a first-person shooter game.[2] It will comprise three main components: an open-world single-player campaign; a competitive multiplayer mode; and ShooterofIO: Wargrounds 2.0, a post-launch experience connected to the main game.[5][6] The campaign is set in the open-world city of Al Mazara and its surrounding region, where players can progress through story missions, gather intelligence, attack enemy-controlled locations, use vehicles, and approach objectives through stealth, direct combat, or allied support. The mode also includes safehouses, civilian areas, optional contracts, wanted levels, and persistent equipment gained through campaign progression.[7]

The multiplayer mode features traditional custom classes, weapon progression, perks, scorestreaks, public playlists, and private matches.[8] The game includes core 6v6 maps at launch, alongside larger Combined Arms maps with vehicles and expanded objective routes.[8] New multiplayer systems include Field Upgrades, which are charge-based equipment abilities earned during a match, and Gunsmith, an expanded weapon-customization system that changes weapon handling through attachments.[9]

ShooterofIO: Wargrounds 2.0 is a post-launch large-scale mode played on a larger version of the campaign map.[10] Players deploy in squads to scavenge equipment, complete objectives, fight other players, and extract before being eliminated.[10]

Premise

The campaign follows a reimagined Task Force Viper during a modern conflict involving Redline, a private military network operating across Al Mazara under the command of Viktor Saren.[11] The reboot uses names and concepts from ShooterofIO 1: Modern Ops while establishing a new continuity for the sub-series.[11][3]

Development

ShooterofIO: Modern Ops is being developed by SOI Studios, which previously developed ShooterofIO 1: Modern Ops (2007), ShooterofIO: Modern Ops 2 (2010), ShooterofIO: Modern Ops 3 (2013), and ShooterofIO: Shadows (2016).[12] Mob Productions identified SOI Studios as the developer when the game was confirmed on March 10, 2019.[2]

Before its confirmation, the game was the subject of reports connected to Mob Productions' 2019 release schedule. Video Game Weekly reported on March 8, 2019, that a new Modern Ops title had appeared in internal retail and media materials, while Game Frontier reported that the title had briefly appeared on a Mob Productions publishing schedule before being removed.[13][14] Mob Productions acknowledged the title shortly after the reports, confirming the game for release in 2019 without a full reveal.[2]

Mob Productions announced on March 30, 2019, that the game would be a reboot of the Modern Ops sub-series rather than a remaster or direct remake of ShooterofIO 1: Modern Ops.[3] On April 10, SOI Studios confirmed SOI Engine 2 as the game's engine, describing it as a new iteration of the technology used for previous ShooterofIO entries.[4] The same announcement confirmed the game's platforms and November 5 release date, while Mob Productions separately announced ShooterofIO: Wargrounds 2.0 as a post-launch experience.[1][6]

In May 2019, reports from gaming outlets and industry insiders described the campaign as substantially larger than earlier ShooterofIO campaigns. Game Frontier reported on May 20 that insiders had described the campaign as "GTA meets ShooterofIO", reflecting claims that the mode was closer to a large open-world action game than a traditional linear shooter campaign.[15] The game's worldwide reveal on June 10 confirmed that the campaign would be built around a connected open-world region with story missions, side activities, vehicles, and shared technology later used for Wargrounds 2.0.[5][7][10]

Marketing and release

ShooterofIO: Modern Ops was confirmed on March 10, 2019, after its title was accidentally revealed through an online listing and related promotional references.[2] The early confirmation did not include a platform list, gameplay trailer, beta schedule, or final release date.[2] Several outlets later reported that Mob Productions and SOI Studios were preparing a full reveal for June 2019.[16][17]

On March 30, 2019, Mob Productions confirmed the game as a reboot of the Modern Ops sub-series.[3] On April 10, the publisher confirmed that ShooterofIO: Modern Ops would be released worldwide on November 5, 2019, for Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.[1] The publisher also announced ShooterofIO: Wargrounds 2.0, a post-launch experience planned to release after the main game.[6]

Mob Productions announced on May 10, 2019, that the worldwide reveal event for ShooterofIO: Modern Ops would take place on June 10.[18] The game's promotional artwork was released on May 20, 2019.[19] The worldwide reveal was held on June 10 and included the game's first full trailer, an open-world campaign demonstration, an initial multiplayer overview, and first details for Wargrounds 2.0.[5][7][8][10] Coverage of the reveal focused heavily on the scale of the campaign and its departure from the more linear structure of earlier ShooterofIO campaigns.[20]
