ArmA 3 Announced

By on May 19, 2011

Bohemia Interactive announced today the third part of their critically acclaimed military tactical sim FPS franchise, ArmA. ArmA III will feature an open-ended & story-driven campaign mode, physical simulation & improved animations that will take advantage of Nvidia’s PhysX effects, rich & authentic environment, customizable Soldier Load. You can view the first nine screenshots after the jump.

Moreover, the game will support online cooperative & competitive scenarios, as well as dedicated servers for both Windows and Linux. And as with ArmA II, the game will be completely extensible & moddable. This basically means that players will be able to design & create countless customizable scenarios using the intuitive & easy-to-use mission editor.

Players will take the role of Cpt. Scott Miller. Europe has become the last stand for the battered NATO forces. In the hope of seizing what seems to be a well-guarded military secret, Operation Magnitude is launched. You are a part of a small group of Special Forces and Researchers that are sent to a Mediterranean island behind enemy lines. Everything goes to hell however and the mission is compromised, leaving you washed ashore upon the hostile island.

Bohemia Interactive´s CEO, Marek Spanel said:

”We’re happy to bring the next generation of the Real Virtuality engine to life. The increased potential of the engine should allow Arma 3 to become our best-looking, most detailed and innovative military simulation game to date.”

Ivan Buchta, Creative Director of Arma 3 also added:

”Our ambition is not only to deliver the next generation of Arma with the improved engine, but also to fully exploit the potential of our new technology in the gameplay. You can look forward to the unique experience of blending sandbox-style combat with a rich story.”

Last but not least, the game will be showcased in this year’s E3.
