Rogue Warrior is an upcoming video game developed by Rebellion Developments and published by Bethesda Softworks. Loosely based on the style of adventure portrayed in the series of fiction novels by Richard Marcinko. Rogue Warrior places the character in the role of Richard Marcinko, real-life leader of several covert Navy SEAL teams.
[edit] History
Announced in the Fall 2006 as a partnership between Bethesda Softworks and Zombie Studios, Rogue Warrior: Black Razor was billed as a tactical first-person shooter for release in 2007. Set in near-modern day North Korea, the plot focused on Marcinko and his team's effort to neutralize the nation's North Korean nuclear launch capability. The game was to be built using the Unreal Engine 3 and include drop-in four-player cooperative and 24-player competitive multiplayer, offering unpredictable maps based on a unique tiling system.[1]
In 2009, the game resurfaced, with Rebellion Developments now producing the game with a number of changes made. The setting shifted to 1986 USSR and North Korea; the game engine became proprietary; the cooperative play was struck along with the multiplayer tiling system; the overall focus turned to Marcinko's personality and kill moves; and the name was shortened to simply "Rogue Warrior".[2]. Mickey Rourke was also announced as the celebrity voice of Marcinko.
