NEWS: Release Date Set For Rambo: The Video Game

Europe is first to get their hands on the upcoming Rambo game, with North America and Canadian soon following.

The release date has been revealed through the game's official website, which also briefly describes what players can expect in the movie-based title - Rambo: The Video Game will hit shelves across Europe February 21 on the Xbox 360, PS3, and Windows. Regarding North America and Canada, the post simply said their releases "will follow later in Q1 2014." 

Players will experience "iconic action-sequences and story-arcs of First Blood, Rambo: First Blood Part II & Rambo III."

The footnote of the post described the thoughts of an unknown Reef spokesperson, saying "We are delighted to announce the final EU release date for Rambo: The Video Game and although the main game is now complete our journey with Rambo continues as we will soon start development on the game's first DLC expansion pack with our partners at Teyon."

PREVIEW: Rambo: The Video Game - Gameplay Trailer

Montage of gameplay for the upcoming 2014 release shows tons of action - just what you'd expect in a Rambo game.

A trailer has been released showcasing what players can expect in Rambo: The Video Game - some of the footage is from the video released earlier in June, and whilst the game was originally slated for a 2013 release, it will be now out sometime during 2014, with no specific date mentioned.

The game will combine all three of the Rambo films - First Blood, Rambo: First Blood Part II, and Rambo III. Each of the films are a staple in the action genre, hopefully the game will meet the same standards.

The video shows hand-to-hand combat, various guns including the iconic M60 Machine Gun and Crossbow - lots of enemies will give players much to shoot at, all whilst being given a front row seat to gallons of blood, explosives, and so forth. We also see Rambo utilize mounted-guns from both ground and air vehicles.

Teyon are responsible for the development, with most of their library consisting of Nintendo handhelds, Rambo: The Video Game will definitely be interesting to see how it turns out. The game will release on Xbox 360, PS3, and PC sometime in 2014.

Pre-order bonuses include a mini figurine of Rambo himself - either holding a rocket launcher or the M60 machine gun. Check out the new gameplay video below.
