Hogs Of War, a PS1 classic, is making a long-awaited comeback on modern

consoles with a full remaster, which could pave the way for a new sequel.
Hello Twitter! We have a lot to discuss, and not a lot of characters to discuss it in, so I'll cut to the chase - tomorrow, 6pm UK time, our first introductory video will be premiering over on our YouTube channel! Hope to see you all there! 🐷
Of all the things that makes Hogs of War a timeless classic - whats the one thing that keeps you playing? We have a lot of ideas of how we can boost replayability even further, but what do you say my dear hogs? 🐗

Thank you for the mention! Another pretty cool nugget of info - our official project is being run by none other than Ian Stewart - who subsequently was the original CEO of Gremlin Interactive, the guys who made the original game! (before infogrames took over) 🐷
@S47Oo
Don't forget this is without factoring in the usual camera shake when scoped in, add that to the mix and it reduced the effectiveness of the sniper rifle, but for good measure! (as we don't want it to be that easy to snipe!) 🐗
@Hans_De_Bruyn
Good show! Keep an eye out for those enemy swine would you? Major Grimly will be most pleased by your efforts, see you next tuesday for the kickstarter launch! :)

@fasc1nate
Current plans are to release a kickstarter campaign (later this year) to help cover the bigger parts of the project, after the campaign we'll have a better understanding of the development timeline of what we can achieve, and ultimately a release date :)
@StephenEllis_PR
Using Kickstarter to help raised funds for the bigger parts of the project (so essentially the campaign will dictate the development timeline). Once the campaign is over we'll be able to put together a full development timeline & share it with the community :)
@offlinebots
Depends on the upcoming Kickstarter campaign (dates to be released within the coming weeks). Once the campaign is done we'll have a better understanding of the development timeline & how much we can cram into Lardcore!
@steviebwoy
The biggest chunk of the existing hogs community are on PC, and as this project is working with that community > we gotta give 'em what they want! :)
@234740287rg
Yep! Our initial plans are to release on PS4 & PS5, with additional porting being subject to the success of our upcoming Kickstarter, more details to come on that over the next few months :)
