Former Vietcong authors are luring a new FPS from Asia -apkrig
Already in April, we informed you at Vortex that Jarek Kolář, who previously worked on games such as The Secret of Donkey Island, 7 days and 7 nights, Flying Heroes, Vietcong, Mafia II and III, but also in the studios Bohemia Interactive or BadFly Interactive, together he and his colleagues founded a new team, InGame Studios. It is based in Brno and is working on a new atmospheric cooperative first person event for PCs and consoles at the Unreal Engine. Repeated indications suggested that it may be something in the spirit of the popular Vietcong, though not necessarily a remake or sequel. We now have another small clue.
The first stylized shot from the game appears in the background of the website, which confirms that Vietcong fans can still keep their fingers crossed and believe in a spiritual successor or something like that.
InGame Studios launched new official website where you can find some other little information about this team and its project. The authors reiterated that they are working on an atmospheric cooperative first person event for PCs and new consoles. However, they added that their game was set in realistic environments in Asia and America in the 20th century. The goal is said to be to create fun gameplay, dynamic experiences, non-linear storytelling and team play. And most importantly… The first stylized shot from the game appears in the background of the website, which confirms that Vietcong fans can still keep their fingers crossed and believe in a spiritual successor or something like that.
At the moment, more than 70 people are already working in the studio and its employees have previously participated in games such as Vietcong, Hidden & Dangerous 2, Mafia series, Arma series, Kingdom Come Deliverance, Dead Trigger, Shadowgun series, UFO, Silent Hill: Downpour, Cold War, Vigor and many more. According to them, they are enthusiasts who love to play and create games and want to be the best studio. At the same time, they are always looking for other colleagues for all possible positions. Thanks to the photos, you can also look behind the scenes of the team.

Thanks everybody involved in making this happen!– INGAME STUDIOS (@ingame_studios) August 26, 2021
We have already written that Jarek Kolář runs the studio. Due to this and various indications, there has been repeated speculation about the Vietcong comeback. After all, several people from InGame Studios worked directly on it. We remind you that even though InGame Studios are acting as a new team, the company has not grown quite on a green field. The core of the team consists of former BadFly Interactive, who renamed themselves and got a new identity.
As for Vitencong, According to Kolář, InGame Studios will definitely not do any sequels or remakes, because it makes it impossible to innovate enough. Old brands also carry an unnecessary burden of the past. However, Jarek Kolář told us some time ago that he would still like to repeat the war in Vietnam from the point of view of a video game. He admits that he did not mention this area just for nothing. Already in April, we wrote that InGame Studios are ending pre-production and embarking on a sharp development.
