Now, in June 2021, Kotaku reports, Tencent invested even more, just enough to make them a majority owner of the studio. Yager says that the investment will help support their current and future titles.

In February 2020, Tencent invested in Yager, becoming a minority owner of the studio. Actually, it’s a mystery why Specs Ops hasn’t had a release since then, considering that The Line was supposed to reboot the franchise. It’s intriguing how a critically acclaimed and commercially successful game like that has not yet received a follow-up. Meanwhile, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 has been billed for 2023 and is exclusive to PS5.Spec Ops: The Line, a classic third-person shooter, has not found a sequel since its release in 2012. Sony hasn’t set a release date for Marvel’s Wolverine just yet. Superhero origin stories have been done to death though we’d be intrigued to see how a game tackles the Weapon X project and how it shapes Wolverine as a character.

We have yet to learn any details about where and when Marvel’s Wolverine is set, or which key characters will make an appearance. The X-Men legend is always on standby for when writers want to delve into the bloodier, more grisly corners of the Marvel universe. Williams has the chops for darker, though-provoking stories and hopefully we’ll see that in Marvel’s Wolverine.

It’s been almost a decade since the game launched on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC, though we still remember the controversial white phosphorous scene as well as the four potential endings.

Taking inspiration from Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness (which also heavily influenced Apocalypse Now) the campaign saw three elite operatives infiltrate a ravaged Dubai to thwart a rogue U.S colonel in the midst of a sandstorm. Aside from being a challenging third person shooter with some interesting quirks, Spec Ops: The Line went rogue with its brutal, mind-being plot.
