Crossfire is actually the second singleplayer shooter named after Korea’s Counter-Strike—and the last one was made by Remedy
Smilegate has announced Crossfire, a new singleplayer milsim shooter developed by the team behind Call of Duty’s acclaimed 2019 Modern Warfare reboot. The game features an innovative cover mechanic and a narrative-focused campaign exploring an evolving emotional connection between its two protagonists, positioning it as an unconventional approach to mainstream solo shooters.
The story’s intriguing angle lies in gaming history: Crossfire is actually the second singleplayer shooter to bear this name. The first was developed by Remedy, the studio known for titles like Alan Wake and Control. Smilegate, the publisher backing the new game, built its wealth on a Korea-based gaming property, contextualizing the naming within global gaming industry connections.
