First Look: Maggie Robertson as Baldur’s Gate 3’s “Affectionately Unhinged” Orin the Red

DUBLIN July 27, 2023 – With the launch of Baldur’s Gate 3 just around the corner, Larian Studios has released a new video introducing the RPG’s third and final central antagonist: Orin the Red. A practitioner in the art of inflicting pain and a grandmaster of murder, Orin has killed for many years but has yet to be caught, thanks in part to her shapeshifting abilities, which enable her to take the form of anyone – perhaps even someone in your camp…

Orin the Red is voiced by the incredible Maggie Robertson, known to many as the voice of Lady Dimitrescu (Resident Evil Village) and Skjóthendi the Unerring (God of War Ragnarök).

“Orin is, affectionately, unhinged,” said Robertson. “You don’t know when she’s going to pop up, you don’t know in what form she’s going to be, she’s incredibly tricksy.”

As Orin, Maggie Robertson joins General Ketheric Thorm (J.K. Simmons) and Lord Enver Gortash (Jason Isaacs) to complete the “unholy triumvirate” of villains in Baldur’s Gate 3.

“To be considered even in the same realm, much less share scenes with J.K. Simmons and Jason Isaacs… was such an honour, and it was so inspiring and exciting to see their work in this game and experience how our characters come together in the scenes we share to create this unholy, evil triumvirate,” said Robertson.

Baldur’s Gate 3 releases August 3 on PC and September 6 on PlayStation 5. See the attached map for release timing per region on PC.

More information on Baldur’s Gate 3 is available on the official website.

QUByte Interactive and Cadabra Games to release ADORE, the first Monster Taming Brazilian game with real-time combat

The Brazilian publisher QUByte Interactive, in partnership with Cadabra Games, a studio from Mato Grosso do Sul, will be launching the game ADORE for Steam, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.

The game, which has been available in early access on Steam since 2020, has captured the attention of the public with its creature design, characters, and especially its art.

ADORE won the Best Brazilian Game award at BIG 2019, standing out for its innovative gameplay in the Monster Taming genre and its art direction. “This is the first highly acclaimed Brazilian Monster Taming game, and we want to showcase the potential of Brazilian studios to the world,” says Bruno Carvalho, partner at QUByte Interactive.

“ADORE was in development from 2018 to 2023, and based on player feedback on Steam, we made adjustments and shaped Adore accordingly. We’ve always enjoyed games with control over multiple units, but they are often too complicated for casual players. So, the idea arose to bring that experience in a more accessible way,” says Diogo Carneiro, partner at Cadabra Games.

ADORE takes place in the Gaterdrik universe and tells the story of Lukha, a boy capable of summoning and controlling creatures to fight alongside him. Players can customize their gameplay style based on the creatures they capture, each with different characteristics and abilities. Additionally, there is the Synergy System, Traits, and Special Abilities, which allow for even more varied gameplay styles and powerful combos!

During Lukha’s journey to revive Draknar, he not only discovers many secrets of the immense and mysterious world of Gaterdrik but also the conspiracy that killed Draknar.

Explore Gaterdrik
Draknar, the God of creatures, is dead, and a curse is spreading, taking control of all his creatures inhabiting Gaterdrik. But the last spark is the flame felt in Lukha, an apprentice of the worshippers and Draknar’s last hope.

True Adorer

Put all your knowledge to the test. Knowing when to summon each creature, having good positioning, when to call them back, which artifact or rune to use, how to prepare yourself and your creatures for expeditions, and training your creatures. All of this is just the surface of a true adorer!

Game Features:

  • Synergy System: Your creatures work better together. You can create synergies between them. Each synergy a creature possesses will activate an extra ability or modify your creature.
  • Traits: Embark on expeditions to find statues of Draknar, the God of creatures, so that your creatures acquire traits that make them unique.
  • Special Abilities: Each creature also possesses a special ability that can be used when its energy bar is full. You have to decide when the best time is to use the special ability most effectively.
  • Runes and Artifacts: Equip and upgrade special runes and artifacts that best complement the qualities of your creature team.
  • Cooking: Gather ingredients during your adventures and create unique dishes to aid you and your creatures on your journey.

About QUByte Interactive:
QUByte is the largest independent publisher in Latin America for consoles and has its own in-house development studio, which is currently working on MARS 2120. QUByte’s goal is to develop the local industry through partnerships in porting, publishing, and game development.

LORDS OF THE FALLEN UNLEASHES 20 MINUTES OF ALL-NEW, UNRELENTING GAMEPLAY IN WALKTHROUGH TRAILER

LONDON, (July 27th, 2023) – HEXWORKS, a CI Games studio, today unveils a full twenty minutes of VO-accompanied gameplay in an all-new Walkthrough 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 PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.

Taking place in a vast, semi-open world, the new video showcases just a few of the many diverse and harrowing environments players will journey through in their epic quest to overthrow Adyr, the demon God. With each major area interconnected with at least two others, the order in which players venture through these lands is largely up to them. However, they’ll not only need to survive one world in this extensive RPG experience, but two, thanks to the game’s unique dual realm mechanic.

Alongside the living realm, Axiom, exists its undead counterpart, Umbral, with each realm featuring its own unique pathways, enemies, characters, and, of course, treasures. Equipped with the Umbral Lamp, players can cross over to this parallel world at any time, however, doing so will use one of their two lives. As for when a player dies in the living realm, they will automatically resurrect in the exact same spot albeit in the undead realm, for one final chance to survive… though the odds will be against them. 

The Walkthrough Trailer also provides new details on the title’s uninterrupted co-op feature. To invite a second player to join their adventure, players need only visit an in-game rest point (vestige), where they can choose to either fight alongside a friend or randomly selected player. The co-op companion will then remain at their side for as long as either desire. Another new gameplay element Lords of the Fallen is introducing to the genre is the ability for players to craft their own vestiges, though can only be done in very select places, and requires an extremely rare resource to do so. 

As well as numerous other gameplay details, much is also revealed about the fully revised combat system players will use in Lords of the Fallen, seamlessly interweaving melee, magic and ranged abilities. Alongside standard attacks, players can map up to four additional magic or ranged skills to their controller for immediate access. This not only allows for far greater combat variety, with the ability to string together an almost endless number of combos, but rapidly speeds up combat, reducing the need to swap out abilities. 

“The team at Hexworks is thrilled to finally share an extended gameplay preview and reveal numerous new details of our dark fantasy action-RPG,” said Saul Gascon, Head of Studio at HEXWORKS. “We have passionately carved our own path in this increasingly popular genre, and we are particularly excited to see how players will approach the game’s unique dual-world mechanic when it releases this October.”

Powered by Unreal Engine 5, Lords of the Fallen can be pre-ordered now, and is available in three editions – Standard, Deluxe and Collector’s (details below).

Standard Edition includes:

  • Lords of the Fallen game

Dying Light 2 Stay Human celebrates The Walking Dead comics’ 20th Anniversary

Wrocław, Poland – July 26, 2023 – Techland is throwing a huge birthday party within Dying Light 2 Stay Human in honor of the iconic franchise: Skybound Entertainment’s The Walking Dead comic books are turning 20 this year and players will be able to join the celebration in-game.

The Walking Dead Event is a week-long series made up of a variety of challenges, yielding different rewards from Wednesday, July 26, 7 am PT / 10 am ET, until Wednesday, August 2, 7 am PT / 10 am ET.

Each day will present a new Personal Goal, such as killing enemies using ranged weapons or dismembering the infected, rewarded by a unique Comic Cover – think Dying Light 2 Stay Human meets The Walking Dead aesthetic – that can be gathered by players in-game. Each collectible, featuring stylized art from famed Polish artists Marek Oleksicki and Łukasz Owdziej, is made available only on a specific day, as it is assigned to a corresponding Personal Goal. Players who manage to get all 7 Comic Covers can try to reach the Collection Goal. Those who complete it will claim The Walking Dead memento weapon charm as a prize.

A very special treat awaits particularly dedicated fans: Lucille – Negan’s infamous barbed wire bat! This weapon can only be won by the most ruthless players. To get the item with a blueprint, you need to complete the Weekly Goal by killing 850 enemies in total throughout the event. But that’s not all – there is one more prize to be claimed. If Dying Light 2 Stay Human players prove themselves to be truly ferocious and slay 160 million enemies together, the Global Goal will be fulfilled and everyone will get Rick’s Hat as a reward!

For those seeking to complete the look, The Walking Dead Bundle is available for purchase for USD $7.99, offering Rick Grimes’ Outfit as well as The Walking Dead Paraglider for added flavor. But if iconic weapons are what you’re after, this bundle will also meet your needs, and then some. Lucille is, of course, the queen of that bunch – but Michonne’s Katana is no less emblematic of the comic book series. Add to that Negan’s Knife, and you’ve got yourself an arsenal capable of repelling any enemy, alive or undead. All three weapons are available with their blueprints. Neither walkers nor infected will get into the Pilgrim Outpost – but you can visit it for more information. Don’t forget to check out the trailer, too!

###

To help us create unforgettable experiences for all Dying Light 2 Stay Human players, we invite them to join the conversation on Discord, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube – we’ll be waiting!
