According to the official website, the game has been in development since June, 2016. The blog post from developer Void Interactive confirms the features of the game.
Players will take the role of a member of an “elite SWAT team”. The team has been tasked with “defusing hostile situations in intense, claustrophobic environments”. The game is set during a time where America has been plunged into chaos.
