Sniper Elite and Battlezone developer Rebellion have announced that Strange Brigade, the spiritual sequel to their Zombie Army trilogy of co-op shooters, will launch on August 28. Pre-orders are available today, and there will also be a special boxed Collector’s Edition - although, disappointingly, that will only be available with console versions of the game.

Will Strange Brigade be good enough to make our list of the best co-op games on PC?

Those who pre-order the game will receive the Secret Service Weapons Pack, which, according to Rebellion, consists of “the butter-smooth Wilkers & White P19 pistol, the piercingly precise Stoudenmire 960 submachine gun, and the punch-packing, one-of-a-kind Gehrig-Delgane S1 rifle.” These will be usable by all characters.
