Narcos: Rise of the Cartels is a new turn-based strategy game based on the hit Netflix TV show, developed by Kuju and published by Curve Digital. 

Its two campaigns will follow the rise and fall of El Patrón, with one taking the side of the DEA and the other allying with the Narcos. Locations from the TV show will be featured, and characters like El Mexicano, Murphy, Peña, Primo will be playable. Each ‘leader’ will possess their own unique abilities to gain the upper hand in combat encounters. Its mechanics will offer third-person control of units to attack enemies directly, ramping up the action and the tension to the next level.

Narcos: Rise of the Cartels will launch for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PC later this year. Watch the two campaign trailers below.
