The remake of Renegade, a game from the Command and Conquer series released in 2002, has been in the works by a small team for seven years. Now free to play on the UT3 engine, it is in open beta, and is looking impressively amazing.
Such nostalgia!
Renegade X is a free Tactical Shooter that aims to bring the Command and Conquer FPS experience to the Unreal Engine 3. Players will be able to join up to 64-players and fight for two unique teams – the Global Defense Initiative (GDI), a UN international military force committed to world order and peacekeeping, and the Brotherhood of Nod, a messianic international terrorist network that aims to push humanity into the next stage of human evolution.
Renegade X has evolved into a spiritual successor to the 2002 classic. Renegade X recreates and modernizes the game’s unmatched multiplayer mode.
The objective of the game is to destroy your enemy’s base while protecting your own. Players will be able to manage their own economies, choose from over 30 weapons, 15 vehicles, and call in nuclear strikes, Ion Cannons, and airstrikes, and much more. Each team will have a base of operations that composes of several key structures. Each structure has its own purpose.
The Renegade X multiplayer beta was released on February 26th, 2014. The 1-2 hour singleplayer demo “Renegade X: Black Dawn” was released in 2012.
Currently the development is in Beta 2.
