Strange Brigade gets a free fifth character at launch

Strange Brigade gets a free, fifth character at launch, Rebellion today confirmed.

The little tidbit of info is nestled right at the end of the game’s launch trailer, which we’ve included below. The trailer confirmed that Winston Bey will join the game’s four other default explorers.

“Prospector, journalist, spy, diplomat and traveller – Winston Bey has explored the world and seen it all,” a press release states. “He tells himself the Brigade’s adventures are “just an amusing diversion” in his extensive voyages, but the Department of Antiquities already has longer-term employment in mind…”

Available later this month, Strange Brigade can be played solo or with up to three friends. We’ve got a review coming shortly.

Strange Brigade heads to Windows PC, Xbox One and PS4 on 28 August.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
