About NW

New World Interactive is an independent developer and publisher with deeply grounded roots in game development. Many core team members started as hobbyists creating the games they wanted to play. This foundation shaped itself into a unique development process which has led to the creation of New World’s debut title, Insurgency. In the wake of Insurgency‘s success in reaching nearly 2 million players, New World plans to continue creating compelling, disruptive new experiences.

In the Media

“Of all the multiplayer shooters available right now, I find Insurgency’s style to be uniquely satisfying.”

“If you see a seemingly empty street, you can dare to run across it and come out unscathed, or you can be gunned down in an instant by a hail of bullets flying from ten different unknown locations.”

Ars Technica reports Insurgency as the #9 most played game released on Steam in 2014.

“From mod to game: Insurgency devs turn pro, but maintain community origins”

“There’s a revolution going on in the game industry these days, and Insurgency is as appropriate (and appropriately named) an example of it as you’re likely to find.”

“Leave it to an independent developer then to dish up some sweet tactical goodness in the form of Insurgency.”

Humble Bundle boosts Insurgency’s player numbers to more than a million.

The hardcore FPS Insurgency started out as a Half-Life 2 mod, but thanks to the Steam Early Access program, it’s now a full game. Shaun tracks down designer Andrew Spearin for more intel.
