Takedown: Red Sabre
Company: 505 Games
Product: Takedown: Red Sabre
Are you a gamer who prefers deliberate, methodical gameplay, rather than running in guns-a-blazin'? If so, listen up...

Takedown: Red Sabre is a realistic tactical shooter, along the lines of Rainbow 6, in that players will experience close-quarters battles as a member of the elite Red Sabre team and won't be able to simply shrug off wounds "Rambo" style; if you don't watch your back, it can be all over. Each scenario is designed to emulate the tactics employed by SWAT teams and SOF units in taking down small numbers of dangerous adversaries.


Non-linear environments allow for multiple routes, tactics and added replayability.

Takedown: Red Sabre is in development by Serellan, a team of veteran developers who have worked on acclaimed titles in the Ghost Recon, Halo, SOCOM, SWAT and F.E.A.R. franchises. The team is led by Christian Allen, the former creative director of the Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon franchise.


The game will be released this fall on XBLA and on Steam. It has not yet been rated by the ESRB.
