Blood and sand: New Spec Ops: The Line images have both

The official word on Spec Ops: The Line fascinates me. Promises of a deep, fulfilling narrative and compelling moral choice are all too common, but something about that eerie reveal trailer continues to make me believe that YAGER’s shooter could be an exception, that it could in fact be as interesting as the marketing suggests.

Alas, there’s no way of knowing if my gut is correct for the time being. Even these images released this afternoon don’t help — sand, blood, and guns don’t tell me how the things came to be, or how they will shape up in The Line’s broken Dubai.

The release date is still TBD.
