Rogue Trooper, one of 2000 AD’s lesser-known properties opposite the widely-recognized Judge Dredd, stars Rogue, a blue-skinned ‘Genetic Infantry’ super soldier who fights on the poisoned, war-torn world of Nu Earth, and who also starred in a 2006 video game of the same name. Rebellion just announced a ‘Redux’ version of that same game, to be released on current generation consoles, PC, and the soon-to-be-released Nintendo Switch.
Personally, I’m pretty excited.
Rebellion is celebrating the 33rd birthday of Rogue Trooper, one of my favorite 2000 AD properties, by selling the game on their webstore for 75% off.
Rogue Trooper takes place on Nu Earth, where two sides, the Norts and the Southers, wage a never ending war. Due to years of chemical and biological weapons use, the poisonous atmosphere keeps both sides confined to protective suits called chemsuits, except for the titular Rogue Trooper, the last in a line of Genetic Infantrymen who were developed by the Southers to function in the poisonous environment.
