Rogue Company Season 1: Release date, patch notes, battle pass, more

With so many options for competitive shooters out there Hi-Rez Studios have done well to carve out a dedicated and loyal player base for their third-person shooter.

The game has a lot going for it; rewarding combat, interesting and unique Rogues, fun maps. The introduction of a ranked system and a steady pipeline of content means there is always something fresh to get your teeth in to.

And the next big content drop is undoubtedly the start of the game's very first season - aptly named, at least for the moment - Season 1.

This Week in Rogue Company, we're looking ahead towards our next release!
