When I sat down with Curve Digital’s Executive Producer, Gary Rowe, at Gamescom 2019, I almost immediately had to apologize. I haven’t watched Narcos: Rise of the Cartels. I understand roughly what the series is about, but there’s no possible way I could name a character or describe a plot point. As a result, I’m not qualified to tell you about what Narcos: Rise of the Cartels is like as an adaptation of the hit Netflix series. I don’t know how it reflects or translates the series in video game form. But I can tell you what Narcos is like purely from a video game perspective, and thus far, it looks very promising indeed.

I didn’t go hands-on with the game, instead, Gary controlled the game for me, explaining the mechanics and systems at play as he moves through a handful of the game’s levels. There will be two main campaigns in the game, first playing as the DEA agents who are out to seek information on the Cartels and shut them down and then playing as the Narcos, who need to protect their black market business from imposing police presence.
