Modern Combat Blackout is coming for Nintendo Switch
With a long trajectory of success on mobile devices since 2009, Modern Combat is making history again, taking its first-person shooter military simulation experience to a console for the first time. Modern Combat Blackout will be the first game of the kind for Nintendo Switch, with accelerated multiplayer action for up to 12 people playing locally or online.
With six games released so far, Modern Combat has established itself as the leader among the FPS for mobile franchises, appearing regularly in the top ten titles of the category. Over the years, we have seen the series grow forcefully, bringing new game modes and intense multiplayer battles to the little screens in our pockets. Now, the team has surpassed itself again, bringing innovation to the console with the fastest sales of this generation.

We are not only taking the game to the Nintendo Switch, we are innovating in the excellence of the series with new intuitive control schemes to help you keep track of the action. This includes the immersive HD Rumble feature, which allows you to feel all the impacts.
Everyone has heard someone complaining about sights on consoles, so we add the optional Gyro Control mode, which allows you to aim your weapons more naturally and accurately.
As in Zero Hour, campaign missions in Blackout vary in style. The game is primarily a first-person shooter; but also includes missions where the player controls mounted guns on vehicles, boats, and even drones; as well as "Spec Ops" missions with unique objectives, such as requiring the player to use a sniper rifle to defend allies from an attack. Unlike in previous titles, there is no difficulty setting - with enemies simply becoming stronger as the player progresses through the missions (enemies will also begin to wield higher-tier weapons in all missions as the player unlocks them in-game).
Phoenix tries to convince Roux that the WLA attack on Venice was actually cover-up orchestrated by Gilman Security themselves for something greater, but Roux is reluctant to believe him. Phoenix also reveals that Gilman has become aware of his prying around into their business and blackmailed him into signing off on the mission report by threatening harm against his daughter Lily.
The cutscene ends, and the first mission begins in the form of a flashback to the events in Venice, with Phoenix and Bull infiltrating Venice as part of a Gilman Security special forces unit sent to intercept the WLA attack. After eliminating a WLA terrorist leader, Phoenix and Bull hijack a boat and escape through the Grand Canal while being pursued by hostile boats and an attack helicopter.
After the flashback ends, another cutscene begins with Phoenix and Roux resuming their conversation. Phoenix further tries to convince Roux that something big is about to happen, insinuating that Gilman Security is involved, but before Roux can respond their room is rocked by a sudden explosion, and Phoenix blacks out
Chapter 2: Rinnoji Temple
The campaign continues one month later, with Phoenix waking up in a hospital gown in Rinnoji Temple, Japan. It is revealed that one month ago Tokyo was rocked by a massive chemical weapons attack using the chemical weapons from the mission in Venice, with the entire city now on lockdown. The temple has been converted into a makeshift hospital for refugees of the attack, but has now fallen under control of the Raiders, a powerful street gang who have been using the chaos in Tokyo created by the attack to loot and expand their power.
Phoenix escapes safely from the temple grounds with the aid of a nurse and confidante of Roux Miku Kubo, and meets up with Isaac Tukura and Andrews, who have been sent by Roux to rescue him. The group then heads by truck to Roux's safe house in downtown Tokyo.
Chapter 3: Downtown
En route to the safe house, the group's truck is ambushed by Raiders - as well as Gilman Security hover drones which, due to the city lockdown, have been designated to fire on any moving target in their area. Phoenix attempts to hold the hostiles off using a 50 cal. mounted machine gun, but the truck is eventually flipped; Andrews is killed in the wreck, while Tukura manages to drag Phoenix away from the wreckage to safety. Tukura and Phoenix venture into the city on foot and commandeer a van from the Raiders which they use to reach the safehouse, where they Rendevous with Roux, Alex Hawk, and other members of Roux's team.
Roux orders the team members to take defensive positions as Raiders have begun to converge on the safe house, with Phoenix manning a sniper rifle on a balcony. However a Apache helicopter hijacked by Raiders launches a rocket at the building, causing Phoenix to fall safely to a lower floor. Phoenix along with Roux and Hawk, eventually manage to repel the Raiders from the safe house, with Hawk and Phoenix then heading out to deploy electronic jammers in the vicinity as defense against the Gilman Security hover drones.
Chapter 4: San Marco
After securing the safe house, Roux and Phoenix meet at Roux's office, where Phoenix resumes their earlier conversation about Gilman Security's involvement in the attack on Venice. Roux informs Phoenix that she has reported him as killed in action to Gilman superiors to keep his daughter safe in the meantime. Roux plays audio she managed to intercept between Bull and and international terrorist Everett Saunders (an antagonist from Modern Combat 4). In conversation, Bull reveals himself has having been on Saunders' payroll during the Venice mission, and the pair arrange a meeting at a construction site in Ryogoku, Tokyo to discuss Bull's pay as well as plans for a "Phase 2". As the conversation ends, Bull threatens that if he doesn't receive his pay, he plans to reveal that Saunders is actually running Gilman Security under the alias of CEO Kirk Bancroft. After this revelation, Roux and Phoenix make plans to spy on the meeting between Bull and Saunders to learn more about "Phase 2", but first Phoenix requests that Roux let him explain the true events which occurred in Venice.
The game then cuts to another flashback in which Phoenix further describes the events of the mission in Venice. Phoenix and Bull are en route via helicopter over the Piazza San Marco in Venice with the mission of securing "The Package" from the WLA terrorists, a cache of chemical weapons being stored in Venice by the UN. Their chopper are attacked by WLA helicopters, killing their gunner. Phoenix mans the machine gun to hold off the hostiles, and him and Bull are dropped off and sent to retrieve the Package before the WLA can steal it. Phoenix manages to shoot down a helicopter with a SAM missile just in the nick of time to prevent it from escaping with the package, while him and Bull make their way to the crash site, and deploy a hover drone to defend the area against the converting WLA hostiles.
The team eventually rendezvous with an Apache helicopter which retrieves the package, while another chopper clears a landing zone on the Plaza for Phoenix' extraction. However as Phoenix is extracted, the chopper is suddenly attacked by a hostile chopper, throwing Phoenix into the canal, where Bull rescues him by boat. Bull and Phoenix escape across the canal while pursued by a WLA attack chopper, with Bull calling off "Operation Strikezone", declaring the Package secure and requesting a new extraction.
