Rogue Companyreleased in 2020 and is now onto its second year. The free-to-play game has seen regular updates since its release in the form of seasons, which add new weapons and skins for the game. Nowthe first season forRogue Company’s second yearsees the hero shooter crossing over with a suitably action-oriented Hollywood title.
Rogue Companyis a free-to-play shooter, which means it must regularly add updates and new content to keep players interested as its money comes from players purchasing this content with the in-game currency. Doing these updates seasonally allows players enough time to see everything an update has to offer without it being buried by new content. While also allowing developer’s the time to put together an update of complimenting features under one banner or crossover event.

The latest update called Rambo, King Cobra, is a crossover with theRambomovie franchise. Adding new weapons inspired by those seen in the films as well as a Rambo skin for the character Seeker. Costing 2000 Rogue bucks, which would be around $20 to purchase. The Rambo Bundle permanently unlocks the Seeker rogue along with cosmetic items inspired by the 2008 Rambo film.
Mostgames that crossover with Rambo chose an 80sversion of the character. The 2008 Rambo movie was chosen for Rogue Company over the 80s movies or even the most recent film, likely due to another in-game event that the bundle adds toRogue Company. Where during matches players will travel upstream on Rambo’s boat fulfilling contracts for in-game rewards. The 2008 Rambo film is the plot-line that inspired this event. The update does add things outside the Rambo bundle, however. Such as backfilling for online matches that have players leave mid-match, allowing other players to join mid-game and take their place.
Three new maps have also been added to the 6v6 mode raising the total number of maps for this mode to thirteen, namely Meltdown, Palace, and Skyfell. Hi-Rez studios, the developer ofRogue Company,is no stranger to a crossover, being a sister company to the developers ofSMITEwhich has seen continuous crossover events. This Rambo bundle might be the beginning of a series of crossover events for the game featuring recognizable pop culture icons.
Rogue Companyaren’t the first game to do a crossover with the Rambo Franchise.Mortal Kombat 11added Ramboalong with a series of other characters from 80s Hollywood action films such as the T-800 fromTerminator 2and RoboCop. Perhaps these characters will be next forRogue Companyas well.
Rogue Companyis available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
