Rejoice in the newest Yuletide carol as Jagged Alliance: Rage! brings tactical jungle warfare to the holiday season this year. As of today, gamers on PC, PlayStation®4 and one of the Xbox One family of devices including Xbox One X can resume the roles of the beloved Jagged Alliance mercs in a brand-new adventure set 20 years after the original game.

Pulled out of retirement to clean out a jungle filled with brutes who are definitely on the naughty side of Santa’s list, Ivan Dolvich, Helmut “Grunty” Grunther, Charlene “Raven” Higgins and more of the old Jagged Alliance crew must battle through a hand-crafted campaign filled with twists and turns. Supporting both solo and two-player online co-op play, Jagged Alliance: Rage! is a spin-off bursting with outlandish characters, explosive gunplay, tactical stealth and even experimental drug powers.
