Comanche revealed by Nukklear at Gamescom 2019

Published , by Kevin Tucker

The folks at THQ Nordic and Nukklear have revealed a new entry in the fan-favorite Comanche series. Called simply Comanche, the new game will put a big emphasis on multiplayer action and will notably feature team-based online gameplay.

The pitch here is pretty simple: Take the classic Comanche schmup gameplay and match it up to a PvP-focused multiplayer experience. The idea is to capitalize on all those old arcade grooves, albeit this time around with all the fancy features afforded to modern hardware.

For some fans, the reboot of Comanche begs a rather obvious question: Why reinvigorate the Comanche franchise at all? Well, that's simple: "Everybody loves helicopters, they're kickass." Check out the new reveal trailer featured below.

The official Comanche website provides a little bit of background for the new reboot:

Nukklear and THQ Nordic plan to move Comanche into alpha testing later this year, with a beta test planned for sometime in 2020. For more game news out of Cologne, stop by Shacknews' Gamescom 2019 home page.
