Mercenary Shooter Hired Ops Coming This Year

Russian developer AbsolutSoft have revealed the first details about Hired Ops, their new First-Person Shooter. The game was previously unveiled as Contract Wars Standalone; a spin off of their popular free to play title. That game brought in over 48 million players, mainly in their native Russia. This new title is set to be a much more global affair, launching in Q4 201 on Steam Early Access.

Hired Ops is a session-based online shooter dedicated to fierce conflicts between rival mercenary groups battling on a global scale. Using the latest weapons and special equipment, players take part in armed encounters working within private military companies, carry out contracts, build bases and aggressively compete with each other - all in an attempt to become the best hired militia in the world. The game features five different fighter classes, each featuring a customisable skill tree, and an arsenal of varying weapons to suit different playstyles.
