2K Games, publisher of BioShock and Borderlands, announced that Spec Ops: The Line, a third-person modern military shooter, is currently in development at YAGER for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC. The game unfolds within the destroyed opulence of Dubai that has fallen victim to a series of cataclysmic sandstorms. The city’s architecture lies half-buried under millions of tons of sand.

Christoph Hartmann, president of 2K:

“At the heart of the 2K DNA is the creation of intellectual properties that provide consumers with compelling narrative, heart-pounding action, and worlds that come to life around them. Spec Ops: The Line is the epitome of a 2K Games title and incorporates all of our gameplay values: immersive experiences that draw you in, unique and innovative features that make you rethink the way you play them, and an amazingly high quality bar that is synonymous with the 2K name. By meeting these core values, I’m confident that Spec Ops: The Line will be a great experience that people will enjoy playing for years to come.”

Timo Ullman, managing director at YAGER:

“The production of Spec Ops: The Line has been a tremendous experience for YAGER. Our close collaboration with 2K Games over the course of this production has allowed us to achieve our goal of giving players a unique and exciting gaming experience in Spec Ops: The Line. YAGER’s goal is to always push the boundaries of what is possible and exceed players’ expectations in every production.”
