Spec Ops: The Line is gearing up for release on June 26, 2012 in North America and June 29 for international audiences. As much as I'm still down for third-person shooters, it's mostly the setting and narrative tone -- the stuff outside of Yager's game mechanics -- that have me most interested.
Of course, dear reader, it wouldn't be a release-date post without the usual pre-order incentives. Participating retailers are offering a free upgrade to Premium Edition, which has goodies for The Line's class-based multiplayer.
If you'd rather not watch the attached trailer, the bonuses are: twice as much experience points during launch week, access to the AK-47 at rank one, the Officer class unlocked at rank one, and the "FUBAR Pack," which comes with exclusive character accessories.
Jordan Devore is Destructoid's PC gaming manager and founding ginger editor. He is said to be easy to love but difficult to know. When Samit inquired about his curious bio photo Jordan simply replied: "bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.
