Gameplay

The real-time battles are fought on multiplayer maps, in cooperative scenarios and in a single-player campaign. Three factions gain fuel and materials by sending mechanized workers into prebuilt nodes and facilities. Both resources are needed to produce new units, construct buildings and finance upgrades. The three factions use different strategies regarding their unit types and tactics.

Global Risk is a counter-terrorist organization established by world governments. It focusses on long range units like the “Phalanx” tank and rocket troopers. “Global Risk” attacks mostly from the distance. Black List is a break-away group of former Global Risk members who use guerilla tactics like ambushes with fast, light units like the “Cheetah” buggy and “Falcon” helicopter.

Development

Crossfire: Legion is developed by the Canadian game development studio Blackbird Interactive. It was announced by publisher Prime Matter, a Koch Media premium label, in June 2021. In January 2022 the game was revealed to the public. In February 2022 a multiplayer demo was published on Steam and in December 8, 2022 full game is released.

The developer announced in an official Steam post in July 2025 that the game would sadly be delisted from the Steam store on August 18, 2025.
