From the Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CrossfireX):
CrossfireX is a first-person shooter video game released exclusively for the Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S on February 10, 2022. It is the third installment in the CrossFire series. Remedy Entertainment worked on the game's single-player campaign, while Smilegate Entertainment led the development of the game's free-to-play multiplayer portion.
CrossfireX is a first-person shooter and the console version of CrossFire (2007). The free-to-play multiplayer component is similar to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, which sees two opposing teams, representing two hostile private military factions, compete in game modes to complete objectives. Classic mode sees the attacking team attempting to plant a bomb while the defending team has to stop them. All players are equipped with standard weapons. The Spectre mode is a variation of the classic mode, though the attacking players are spectres, who are only equipped with knives but they can stay invisible when they are not moving.[2] There is also a Modern mode, in which the two teams need to fight for maintaining control over two objective points in a map.[3]
The single-player portion, which would not be free-to-play, consists of several operations. Each operation includes several episodes. At launch, there would be two operations available. The story explores a global conflict between Black List and Global Risk, two private military factions.[4]
The original Crossfire, developed by Smilegate Entertainment, is an extremely popular free-to-play multiplayer game for personal computers in the East. The team wanted to expand the narrative of the franchise and introduce it to a broader audience. Therefore, the team partnered with Microsoft to create a console version and entrusted Remedy Entertainment, a Finnish video game developer, to create a single-player campaign for the game.[5] As Remedy at that time was exploring the idea of working on a first-person shooter, and planned on developing multiple projects at once, the team agreed to help Smilegate.[6] Remedy had been working on the single-player portion since 2016.[7] The single-player portion will be powered by Remedy's own Northlight engine, which was used previously in Quantum Break and Control. Remedy was chosen due to the team's expertise in creating memorable fictional worlds and characters. Inspired by Metal Gear Solid and Resident Evil, the team hoped to create characters that are "larger-than-life".[6]
An open beta was available for Xbox Insiders from June 25 to June 28, 2020.[8] In November 2020, Smilegate Entertainment announced that the game would be delayed to 2021.[9] The game was eventually released on February 10 2022 for Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S consoles.[10]
The first campaign follows a team of Global Risk Soldiers in the country of Azkharzia who are sent in to find and kill Black List officer Alexander Steiner. The Global Risk team is led by Major Cavanaugh and consists of Captain Hall, Specialist Randall, and Private First Class Moralez. The team assault an abandoned hotel where Steiner is supposedly staying but soon find out they’ve body double. Although the team manage to fight their way out of the hotel, Cavanaugh and Hall deduce that they were set up as Black List was well prepared for their arrival. Cavanaugh is shot shortly afterwards and Hall is knocked unconscious by an unseen assailant. While unconscious, Hall has an unsettling vision of being in his own house through the eyes of someone else. Hall is soon reawakened by Moralez and takes command of the team.
With their extraction aircraft shot down and Cavanaugh’s long range radio missing, Hall plans to use a nearby communications tower to call for extraction despite Morelez’s insistence on heading towards the rally point instead. While making his way up the tower, Hall is captured and interrogated by Steiner who reveals that Cavanaugh is alive and demands his location. After breaking free with the help of his team, Hall plans to head towards mines where Cavanaugh is supposedly being held and manages to capture Steiner along the way. However the team is soon ambushed by Black List soldiers led by the ambitious Commander Fontaine and soon Moralez who is secretly been contracted by Fontaine to sell out the team. Moralez soon kills Steiner under Fontaine’s orders but refuses to kill Hall and Randall as it wasn’t part of their deal, leading Fontaine to kills Moralez instead while Hall and Randall manage to escape.
