EMERGENCY Series

Where does EMERGENCY fit into the series?

EMERGENCY will be a new chapter in the EMERGENCY series.

Fans of previous titles will recognize a lot of stuff from the classic games, but will also notice that we have a completely new gameplay system, especially with the focus on the co-op multiplayer aspect. The game will be a fast-paced real-time strategy game all about teamwork and collaboration.

As a PC title, EMERGENCY will be more complex than our mobile game EMERGENCY HQ, which is a more casual version of the strategy game.

Will there be modding support?

Since EMERGENCY is not a direct continuation of the classic series, we can unfortunately not offer modding support. The good news for the modding community, however, is that the servers for EM4 and EM5 will continue to run, thus ensuring the continued operation of the many creative mods.

And even though EMERGENCY will explore new avenues, we hope that fans of the classic series will continue to support us with their constructive feedback to improve and expand the new EMERGENCY.
