Eastern and Central Europe's #1 publisher, THE 1C Company, has just announced that there is to be a brand new prequel to NecroVisioN: Lost Company. And the best part? It's already in development! As opposed to it being announced that development will soon start, and in other words, it's already some of the way done! At least, that's the positive way to look at it. If you're a "glass is half full" kind of person. Included in the upcoming prequel will be all sorts of new maps, single-player levels, weapons, visual effects, vehicles, and tons and tons more! What better way to build onto an epic game than by giving it an even mroe epic backstory? Lost Company is scheduled for release early next year.
