Curve Digital and Kuju have announced Narcos: Rise of the Cartels, a turn-based strategy game based on Narcos, the multi-award-winning Netflix series produced by Gaumont, which will launch late this year.
Check out the latest smuggled trailer over the border, showcasing the game’s visuals and authentic Narcos atmosphere.
Narcos: Rise of the Cartels allows players to relive the events of the first season, taking the side of either the Medellin Cartel or the DEA in two distinct campaigns. In 1980’s Colombia El Patrón’s influence is rapidly expanding, with drugs, corruption and crime spreading out from the Colombian town of Medellin. America is now starting to take notice. Do you help the Narcos’ drug empire rise to the top under the watchful eye of El Patrón or topple the growing criminal enterprise alongside Steve Murphy as the DEA?
The game will also feature iconic locations and characters from the show, offering players the chance to step into the criminal underworld alongside characters such as El Mexicano, Murphy, Peña, Primo and more – each with their own unique gameplay abilities and perks.
Fans of turn-based strategy will experience an exhilarating new take on the genre, with units on both sides moving simultaneously and with innovative new mechanics that allow players to take direct third-person command over their units in critical moments. Form your team from a variety of class-specific roles, upgrade your skills and join leading characters on the path to dominance, but beware – your actions will have lasting consequences.
