Sixteen Tons’ cult rescue simulator series will continue with Emergency 5, set for release on PC this October in Standard and Deluxe Edition flavours.
It’s also coming to Gamescom this month, and attendees can head on over to the Deep Silver booth to try it out. Remember, in this one the aim is to stop people dying.
Emergency 5 takes place in Germany, specifically in the cities of Berlin, Hamburg and Munich. Cologne is only available with the Deluxe edition. As in previous entries, you’ll command a variety of ground and air vehicles from the emergency services, dealing with emergencies as diverse as ”a big fire at Cologne Cathedral, a brawl on Hamburg’s famous Reeperbahn or an avalanche in the Bavarian Alps.”
This year there’s a co-op mode with its own special four-player challenges. What from those will take isn’t clear. Dinosaur rampage? Alien invasion? Emergency 5 also has a new engine and an updated control scheme.
No word on pricing yet, but look for the Standard and Deluxe edition of Emergency 5 this October on PC. Here’s the full list of features revealed so far:
