Brave a gripping new scenario, discover exciting new technologies, and defend against hostile new enemies

Cambridge, UK – 26^th October 2023 Frontier Foundry, the games label of Frontier Developments plc (AIM: FDEV, ‘Frontier’) and developer Haemimont Games, announced today a sensational new PDLC for planet survival sim Stranded: Alien Dawn. Robots and Guardians arrives on Tuesday 7^th November on PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation®4 and Xbox One for a suggested retail price of £9.99/$12.99/€12.99.

Robots and Guardians introduces an action-packed new scenario, in which players must protect Hope, the first sentient android. Having rescued Hope from the clutches of her makers, a ruthless manufacturing consortium, the group of rebels must defend against their attempts to reclaim their priceless asset.

Seeking refuge on an uncharted planet in the outer worlds, the rebels must build a safe and secure haven in which Hope’s developing mind can continue to advance. As Hope’s intellect increases, players will be able to select new skills and unlock new traits. She can also develop the need for rest, and potentially form bonds with members of the group. New resources, SilicaEnergel and SilicaEnergel Plus, can be crafted to provide sustenance for Hope, who cannot consume human food.

Throughout the scenario, players must devise innovative strategies to ensure the rebels can overcome waves of automated attacks from the consortium, fighting against combat robots, battle drones, and mobile turrets in order to shield Hope and achieve victory.

With new challenges, come new technologies. Rebels will be able to research, construct, and utilise a range of new weaponry, including defence bots, mobile machine guns, laser-equipped turrets, laser swords, and more. Robots can be drafted into battle, after which they will return to semi-automated command stations. Bots, mobile turrets, and laser swords can also be leveraged across all Stranded: Alien Dawn scenarios.

In addition to defence technologies, players can unlock new ways to automate tasks and improve efficiency in all scenarios. Service and harvest bots can help the rebels with cooking, planting crops, and gathering resources, while a futuristic healing device allows both Hope and humans to be treated without a healer or doctor.

Also introduced with the PDLC is new survivor, Henry Caldwell. A battle-hardened veteran on a quest to reclaim his humanity, Henry has emerged from adversity stronger, with robotic limb replacements and specialist skills in close combat, making him an ideal choice for any group living under threat of attack.

The PDLC will launch alongside a free base game update for all players, bringing a range of new features and enhancements. These include delivery drone technology, the ability to construct multistorey buildings, futuristic furniture items, a carbon crossbow, and more.

For more details on the PDLC and free update visit: https://www.strandedaliendawn.com/news/robots-and-guardians-dlc-coming-7-november.

Stranded: Alien Dawn is available now on PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation®4 and Xbox One for a suggested retail price of £29.99/$34.99/€34.99.

GORGEOUS CINEMATIC TIME TRAVEL RPG REVERSE: 1999 INAUGURATES THE MILLENIUM PREMIERE ACROSS PC AND MOBILE TODAY

20th Century Time Travel Strategic RPG Invites Players To Assemble Arcanists and Discover The Truth Behind the “Storm” in Cross-Play Compatible Chronicle Featuring Distinct Range of Full English Voice Acting

Hong Kong, October 26, 2023 – Bluepoch Games has announced that 20th century time travel strategic RPG Reverse: 1999 is now available for free worldwide across iOS, Android, and Windows PC via the game’s official website. Become the Timekeeper in an alternate history where the flow of time has reversed itself due to the mysterious “Storm.” Gather a team of arcanists – the ones born with eccentric powerful abilities – from different countries and eras, carefully arrange incantations, and confront Manus Vindictae, a group of rebellion arcanists, to restore the natural order of the universe. Reverse: 1999 elevates anime-stylized games with breathtaking cinematics, jaw-dropping Ultimates, and full English voice acting comprising a unique array of dialects and accents..

On December 31, 1999 at 11:59PM, the “Storm” began. Neon Happy New Year signs, the gold of bubbly champagne, and raucous crowds of laughter faded away. Drops of rain broke free from gravity and fell upwards toward the sky. A young woman named Vertin discovers she is the only human immune to the “Storm” as an old era returns.

Harness the gift of arcane power to strategically merge incantations, devise counters, collect Moxie, and unleash Ultimate attacks. Complete tasks in interactive maps to gather Traces that unlock chapters and rewards. Fight in dreams through artificial somnambulism to explore short stories on different maps and collect stars that confer weekly and monthly prizes. Reverse: 1999’s exhilarating gameplay keeps would-be arcanists glued to their screens for hours on end.

Today’s launch trailer illustrates how the “Storm” imbues everyday people with mystical symptoms. Some people, like the members of Manus Vindictae, flourish among the madness and patiently await the “Storm,” while others struggle to survive. Reverse: 1999’s protagonist, Vertin, attempts to help people brave the menace.

Vertin has her own goal of finding out the truth about the “Storm.” However, the foundation seems to only want her to obey their orders. Today’s new trailer reveals brand new visuals that have not yet appeared in the first three chapters of the game’s main storyline. Wait for what’s in store with Chapter IV…

Witness how the “Storm” transforms ordinary lives and reverses the world’s time with Reverse: 1999’s cinematic launch trailer below:

Download Reverse: 1999 now for free on iOS, Android, and Windows PC via the game’s official website today for a chance to receive up to 73 summons, two 5-star characters (Matilda and Dikke), an optional box for 6-star Psychube and a limited portrait. Additionally, players are now able to unlock up to four Chapters of Reverse: 1999’s main storyline.

Yesterday, an official live stream titled “The Eve of the Millennium” introduced a bevy of information regarding Reverse: 1999’s official launch rewards and officially announced some of the game’s voice actors. The talent, whose voices can be heard across popular titles like Cyberpunk 2077, Final Fantasy 14, No Time to Die, Doctor Who and more, hosted the event alongside new Live2D designs of Regulus and Sonetto. A Knight and Sotheby’s voice actors made special guest appearances.

During the stream, Reverse: 1999’s voice actors introduced the title’s setting, characters, gameplay and more, and treated veteran fans and newcomers alike to a long-anticipated trailer and hilarious commentary. Don’t worry – A Knight didn’t reference any material from his Jokes Compendium during the stream.

Reverse: 1999’s official launch rewards were also announced at the event. Rewind time to rediscover Reverse: 1999’s “The Eve of the Millennium” livestream below:

The “The First Drop of Rain”, “One Gram of Curiosity” and “Sword & Armor” banners were also revealed during the stream, which allow players to receive a guaranteed 6-star character or rate up early fan-favorites: the powerful arcanists Sotheby and A Knight.

Sotheby is a wealthy and knowledgeable young lady who lacks common sense. Prices are never an issue when she chooses ingredients for her potions. In Reverse: 1999, players will notice how the affluent gentlewoman often uses arcane theories to understand modern inventions like cars and movies. 

Speaking of the arcane, a host of other curious arcanists will appear throughout the game. This includes the chivalrous suit of talking armor wielding a sword simply known as A Knight.

Download Reverse: 1999 for free on iOS, Android, and Windows PC via the game’s official website.

At the heart of the preseason content is a brand new experience for hunters.

These will also auto-activate after moving a certain distance for some truly high-octane carnage. 

Hunters should come well-equipped for a fight, with multiple Netherrealm boss fights occurring within the same map. The increased number of formidable boss monsters and treasure chests scattered throughout stages will also mean an 130% increase to development speed, which players can utilise to further enhance their characters and beef up their arsenal. 

What’s more, during the preseason period (running until Nov 20), there’s a chance monsters will drop the Proof of Stat Hunter. Those who offer this to the Goddess of Hunting will see the gates of the mysterious Hunter’s Woods swing open. Players may also grind for the three ultimate legendary gear which will drop exclusively during preseason.

A number of discounts and rewards will be up for grabs, including a free SS3 Golden Season Pass for those who purchase and adequately level the Preseason Golden Pass. Those on the hunt for a good bargain can also sink their teeth into a 50% discount on premium booth pages in the Trade House. 

Hunter’s Odyssey presents the perfect opportunity for players to get ready for the launch of SS3. Buckle up, Hunters, it’s time for some serious preseason looting.
