Despite being on the down-low since releasing the surprisingly good and immensely under-rated Spec Ops: The Line, Yager Development has recently posted a job listing for Multiplayer Programmer on an "unannounced AAA project".
Yager Development is giving back to the community of The Cycle, literally. With the second edition of the game is in closed beta testing at the moment, the first edition is now gone forever, having shuttered yesterday.
From VentureBeat: "Tencent is making another big move in the gaming space. The Chinese megaconglomerate is investing an undisclosed amount of capital in Berlin-based game studio Yager Development. This influx of cash is going to help Yager expand its self-publishing efforts. It’s also going to enable the studio to continue work on its current project, competitive quest-based shooter The Cycle."
Damn, Tencent are putting their grubby little fingers on every game studio they can. I hope they remaster Spec Ops: The Line, this was such an underrated game at it's time of release.
Tencent is a seemingly terrible corporation, but if it means a remaster or sequel of Spec Ops: The Line, then at least it won't be a total loss.
To be fair the studio hasn’t really done anything since Spec Ops so not that much of a big deal to me.

This game was pure awesome.
I got this game free thanks to PS+, It was pretty good
I just hope that this game has a single-player campaign. Spec-Ops was a breath of fresh air from the normal shooter and it was nice seeing one of my fave Playstation One series evolved into what it is now.....
I just got this on the PC.. about an hour into it, I was told to play this just for the story alone but the game is not bad itself.
I hope they do a spiritual sequel to spec ops the line with stuff like child soldiers and the blurring of line between insurgents and civilians
