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.[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 a third mode scheduled to be revealed in late July 2019.[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 was confirmed as a competitive component, but had not received a full reveal as of June 15, 2019.[5][6] Mob Productions had not yet detailed its launch maps, modes, progression systems, or class-creation features.[6]
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.[8] The reboot uses names and concepts from ShooterofIO 1: Modern Ops while establishing a new continuity for the sub-series.[8][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).[9] 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.[10][11] 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][12]
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.[13] 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]
On June 15, 2019, SOI Studios released a short behind-the-scenes film featuring lead director Aaron Vale discussing the team's goals for the game after ShooterofIO: Shadows.[6] Vale said the team wanted the reboot to be more streamlined than Shadows, with a clearer focus on what made ShooterofIO recognizable as a fast, readable, military first-person shooter while still allowing the open-world campaign to expand the series' structure. He described the years between Shadows and Modern Ops as a period in which the team re-evaluated the balance between experimentation and familiarity, citing player criticism of Shadows's multiplayer structure and the desire to give the reboot a stronger identity across its modes. The film also stated that the game's third mode would be revealed in late July 2019 and that its multiplayer reveal would follow in early August.[6]
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.[14][15]
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.[12]
Mob Productions announced on May 10, 2019, that the worldwide reveal event for ShooterofIO: Modern Ops would take place on June 10.[16] The game's promotional artwork was released on May 20, 2019.[17] The worldwide reveal was held on June 10 and included the game's first full trailer and an open-world campaign demonstration.[5][7] Coverage of the reveal focused heavily on the scale of the campaign and its departure from the more linear structure of earlier ShooterofIO campaigns.[18]
