Hinwil, 23 August 2023 – The Alfa Romeo F1 Team x BOOGIE Art Car will travel to the Dutch Grand Prix in Zandvoort, the Netherlands, to spearhead an exciting weekend of activations for all fans of the team and Formula One in general. In the latest and final chapter of the Art Car journey, which has seen it travel to fans in Switzerland, the UK and now Holland over the course of nearly a year, the team will unveil a series of initiatives to engage fans at the track and at home – and raise precious funds for the team’s charity partner, Save the Children.

The collaboration with world-renowned artist, BOOGIE, to create an artistic project aimed at bringing fans closer to the team was launched to celebrate the start of the 2023 season. BOOGIE took his spray cans to the bodywork of one of the team’s cars to create a unique piece of art, which was unveiled in the stunning setting of Waldhaus Flims, in the Swiss Alps, in the days leading to the launch of the team’s C43.

The car, painted in the trademark BOOGIE style, features a pattern of letters recalling the team name, its main partners and the names of the team drivers: the multitude of letters is a nod to all the team’s employees, well-rounded individuals who come together to create something that is more than the sum of all parts; while the fade to black is a tribute to the quintessential ingredient of Formula One – speed. BOOGIE imbued the Art Car livery with meanings – some more obvious, some more cryptic – to create what is more than just a work of art, but a tribute to the team’s philosophy.

BOOGIE, a German-born graffiti artist, designer and illustrator living in Switzerland, boasts an artistic career that took him to creating content in more than 40 countries, with some of the biggest brands in the world and some of the most accomplished artists of his generation.

Based in Basel, BOOGIE embodies the spirit of Alfa Romeo F1 Team Stake: both international and proudly local, ready to engage with different cultures and places without forgetting where it comes from. Designed for a team that, since its beginnings, has been challenging the status quo, the Art Car is born in the Swiss mountains, the incredible alpine backdrop playing as big a part in the composition as brushes and paint.

The Art Car went beyond a simple PR stunt, however, but marked the beginning of a campaign to bring fans closer to the team. Alfa Romeo F1 Team Stake partners, JigSpace, created a bespoke 3D model of the car, in its distinctive livery, which was made available for fans to enjoy in augmented reality (AR) from the comfort of their homes. The Art Car then travelled to a series of public events, most recently at an art exhibition at the Dolder Grand Hotel in Zurich, an occasion to invite the local community to experience the car, before its appearance in Zandvoort, at a Grand Prix venue.

The Dutch Grand Prix will see the Art Car take a place of honour in the Fan Zone, where it will be accessible to all fans wishing to witness and immortalise an authentic piece of art on wheels. The same display booth will be home to the limited-edition apparel collection by CODE ZERO – a range of unique, BOOGIE-inspired clothes and accessories that blend the spirit of street art with the sleekness of motorsport. The booth will also showcase a collection of specialist fine arts prints by specialist, Automobilist.

In an event on Wednesday evening, the team will also unveil other elements of its extensive Alfa Romeo F1 Team x BOOGIE Art Car activation, a project that has brought several team partners together. The team will launch a special cycling jersey developed with ASSOS of Switzerland, which will see its first use in a bike ride, led by Valtteri Bottas, around the town of Zandvoort; as well as scale models of the Art Car by Z-Models.

BOOGIE himself will be on hand to finish two large-scale canvas paintings inspired by the car, and to hand-decorate a rare, official F1 celebration bottle of Ferrari Trento. These items, as well as a commemoration drivers’ suit designed by Puma and a replica helmet, in BOOGIE pattern, produced by Stilo, will go under the gavel in a time-limited auction by F1 Authentics in support of Save the Children.

The crown jewel of the auction, however, will be the Art Car itself – with a lucky collector able to claim a unique piece of Formula One history, and a genuine piece of art, for themselves, while supporting the team’s charity partner.

The fun and excitement of the Alfa Romeo F1 Team x BOOGIE Art Car initiative are not limited to those in Zandvoort, however. Every fan can get the Art Car in their homes, thanks to the latest Augmented Reality experience developed by JigSpace, which allows to bring the car, its creator and all the items from the Art Car collection to life at the touch of a finger (on a touchscreen). Gaming fans will also be able to download the Art Car livery in the official F1 video game, F1 23 by EA Sports – meaning everyone will be able to participate in the celebrations of this project.

Finally, the Art Car will hit the track. And while the BOOGIE masterpiece, hand painted and unique, is not going to be competing in the Dutch Grand Prix, the C43s of Valtteri and Zhou Guanyu will sport a tribute livery to the Art Car, emblazoned with BOOGIE’s distinctive art, which will also be reflected in the team’s garage panelling and garage nameboards., as well in both drivers’ suits.

Alessandro Alunni Bravi, Team Representative: “The Alfa Romeo F1 Team x BOOGIE Art Car project has been an incredible journey, which deserves a proper celebration. This project has brought Alfa Romeo F1 Team Stake closer to the fans in each phase of its development. It has been an exciting, ground-breaking journey the team has been proud to undertake, alongside trusted partners and an inspiring artist. This is the team’s first ever Art Car: with his distinctive, clean, comic-style look, BOOGIE put his signature on a unique project, and we are proud of having brought together our partners in this weekend’s activities. We pride ourselves for having created a multi-brand powerhouse, where team and partners work together for exciting project, and the whole weekend is living proof of this.”

The Offspring Spawn of a Resident Evil and Slay the Spire Love Affair

Istanbul, Turkey. July 23, 2023 –  Draft of Darkness, the survival-horror deckbuilder that has mutated over two years in Early Access has launched in 1.0 and is available now. Watch the launch trailer here.

Draft of Darkness is set in a post-apocalyptic city plagued by…darkness! The procedurally generated and interconnected maps are infested with vile creatures, all of which require a unique approach to overcome. Some creatures are susceptible to brute force, while others require a more tactical ‘disabling’ approach.

Your decisions outside combat are just as important as those in combat, especially if you wish to survive the darkness-infested city. Statuses stay with you throughout your run, only being removed by well-managed navigation. You can upgrade your cards and equipment through in-world interactions and trading opportunities. Be warned, every action in Draft of Darkness has a reaction!

Draft of Darkness uses a unique card weapon system, where attack cards are associated with a weapon that requires ammo/resources. Looting these resources is only half the battle, as you’ll need to manage just how aggressively you use them in a run. Just like any true survival horror game, resource management is very important in Draft of Darkness.

Uncovering the secret of the low-fi world will unlock the deep and inter-webbed story of Draft of Darkness. Every stage of a run offers new characters to meet, fleshy TVs to play fancy dress with, and delicious (unknown) stews to feed to your party. Only by uncovering the full flow chart of the story will you learn the dark secrets behind the story.

Since its early access launch, Draft of Darkness has received several sizable updates. These updates include over 260 new cards being added, 4 new survivors to play as, 5 new companion types to unlock, 5 new weapons to utilize, 11 new boss fights, 58 new decision/story events, 45 new unique items to build around and 3 new endings for the game.

Game features:

A card is only as good as its weapon

Attack cards are linked to a weapon. Managing your weapons resources as well as your deck is vital to make sure your build is ready to defeat what lurks in the shadows.

Is the darkness better as a group?

Find different companion types lurking deep within the darkness. Manage the status of your party, and avoid radiation and infection at all costs!

Every death brings rewards

At the end of every run, you will receive credits that can be used to open booster packs to unlock new starting cards. Every death is a chance to find new strategies!

Be careful what you ask for

Draft of Darkness has a unique “meta-story progression” system. Every decision can alter the story’s outcome and allow for new ways to progress. Different choices are available in each run, but be careful; some will have serious consequences.

Draft of Darkness is available now on Steam, priced at $14.99/£12.79/14.79€.

The 1000R curvature in the 32:9 screen is as wide as two 32” UHD monitors, wrapping around users with pin-sharp images and a wide field of view, immersing them in their games like never before.

Quantum Matrix Technology powers Samsung’s Quantum Mini LED lighting in the screen, which offers small, discrete dimming zones. The result is incredible distinction between light and dark areas of the screen, with sharp contrast and reduced blooming.

The Odyssey Neo G9 makes the most out of its Quantum Mini LED lighting by combining it with VESA Display HDR™1000.

“By bringing DisplayPort 2.1 connectivity to their premium gaming monitor, Samsung is opening new doors for gamers,” said Scott Herkelman, senior vice president and general manager, Graphics Business Unit at AMD. “More bandwidth, high speeds and fast refresh rates provide new levels of performance and visual fidelity in games, and together the new Samsung displays and Radeon RX 7000 Series graphics cards will deliver vivid and immersive gaming experiences yet.”

With such a wide, high-definition screen and a generation-defining new input, gamers can use the 57” Odyssey Neo G9 in place of multiple monitors, keeping their desk clean from clutter, while creating a comfortable multitasking single-screen environment. Picture-in-Picture and Picture-by-Picture modes offer multiple inputs at a single glance, and the monitor utilises Auto Source Switch+ to instantly connect to new devices without flipping through input sources. An ergonomic stand, Core Lighting+ and CoreSync also enable the monitor to fit in virtually any environment and mood match the vibe of respective games with ambient lighting.

With the launch of the Neo G9, Samsung’s Odyssey range offers a monitor for every gaming experience, with a size and price point for every member of the gaming community, all designed to give them an unfair advantage.

HEXWORKS, a CI Games studio, has unveiled an all-new Extended Story Trailer for its highly anticipated, dark-fantasy action-RPG, Lords of the Fallen. Releasing Friday 13th October, the upcoming game acts as a full reboot for the franchise, and is available to pre-order now on PS5 and Xbox Series X.

Taking place more than a thousand years after the events of the first game, The Lords of the Fallen introduces an all-new adventure in a vast, interconnected world, more than five times larger than the original game.
