Besides being what is called a "video game," you may be wondering, "just what is Desperados III?" Well thankfully, THQ Nordic realized that maybe not everyone is up on what this upcoming title may be. We know that it's a "real-time tactical stealth game," but that's certainly a confusing mouthful. A new trailer that was released May 20th aims to shed some light on Desperados and will perhaps get you interested ahead of the game's June 16 launch on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
This new trailer shows us all how view cones work, along with how the noise from gunfire, or sniffing guard dogs can determine how you approach a situation. You can also learn how you will be able to use the environment to your advantage.
In addition to the latest trailer, I have also taken the liberty of embedding the first episode of a developer diary series on Desperados III. They are already up to episode four with a new one coming out each Wednesday.
