The game takes place ten years after a devastating event where the country's borders and the balance of power have been redrawn. The country isn't a superpower anymore and its economy and government are in ashes. The military is basically fighting to stave off the complete collapse of society.

One of the key features of the game is a new next-gen engine that allows a higher level of graphics while at the same time promising a stable 60 fps framerate on all platforms.
