About New World Interactive

New World Interactive is an American video game developer specializing in tactical first-person shooters for PC and consoles. Founded in 2010, it grew from the volunteer team behind Insurgency: Modern Infantry Combat, a total-conversion modification for Half-Life 2. Its games emphasize high-lethality combat, tactical teamwork, positional communication and a minimal interface, with multiplayer and cooperative play central to their design.

The studio's commercial releases include the standalone Insurgency in 2014, the World War II tactical shooter Day of Infamy in 2017, and Insurgency: Sandstorm, first released for PC in 2018. Sandstorm subsequently reached PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in 2021, followed by native PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S editions in 2024. These releases extended the studio's tactical combat approach across successive generations of gaming hardware.

Development and ongoing support

The team's capabilities span full-cycle game development, gameplay balancing, level design, engine optimization and multiplatform technical work. Its development experience includes Valve's Source engine and Unreal Engine 4, alongside realistic ballistics, dynamic HDR and positional audio implementation. Modding support infrastructure and objective-oriented multiplayer design also form part of its technical and creative focus.

New World Interactive continues to support Insurgency: Sandstorm through content expansions, seasonal updates, patches and crossplay enhancements. The supplied research identifies Operation: Crisis and Operation: Resurgence among its ongoing update programmes. This work combines continued content production with maintaining and refining an established multiplayer game across PC and console platforms.

Company development

The company expanded its Canadian production presence in 2019. Embracer Group acquired it in August 2020 and placed it under Saber Interactive. Following restructuring, layoffs and project cancellations in late 2023, Saber confirmed that the studio remained open. New World Interactive was included in the March 2024 sale of Saber Interactive to Beacon Interactive and continues operating within the Saber group, with its current development presence spanning Denver and Calgary.
