2K Games has been teasing us for a long time with screenshots, developer commentaries and bandanna swag for their newest game Spec Ops: The Line.

This week we get to watch the launch trailer and buy the game when it hits retail.

One of my most anticipated games of the year, Spec Ops: The Line should bring some much needed dramatic storytelling to the third-person shooter genre. Set in war-torn Dubai, a group of soldiers find themselves in some pretty sticky unforeseen circumstances.

A gritty story (inspired by Conrad’s Heart of Darkness) mixed with some new awesome game mechanics revolving around sand will hopefully bring some things to the table that haven’t been done in a game before.

Spec Ops is hitting stores in North America on June 26 and in Europe on June 29.
