Speed and Succeed in the Penaud Le Coureuse, Available Now – Plus, Take Part in Junk Energy Time Trials on the New Inductor Bike, Get Summer Racing Event Bonuses, Triple Rewards in New Community Series Jobs, and More

Back in the ’70s, the Penaud La Coureuse sports car was the only French import acceptable in polite American society. Now it’s undergone an electric-age overhaul from its spoiler to its air intakes, leaving it poised to raise its eyebrow suggestively and whisper “voilà” as it makes a beeline for the horizon.

Pick up the Penaud La Coureuse (Sports) from Legendary Motorsport. It’s free to claim for GTA+ Members through August 16 and also eligible for Imani Tech and Hao’s Special Works upgrades. You can deck yours out with a Missile Lock-On Jammer or Remote Control Unit from your Agency’s Vehicle Workshop, or get HSW upgrades inside the LS Car Meet on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.

The Inductor Brings the Humble Bicycle into the Twenty-First Century

You might have thought that a mountain bike was already eco-friendly. Not true. The average Los Santos resident’s sweat contains enough restricted substances to significantly damage any ecosystem they pedal through. The solution? The nimble torque-pumped Inductor, the electric mountain bike of your freedom-filled dreams, now available to purchase from Pedal and Metal Cycles.

New Junk Energy Time Trials

For fans of extreme sports, Junk Energy is synonymous with spikes of adrenaline, racing heart rates, and unnaturally fast reaction speeds. Junk Energy’s latest venture is no change of pace, with a range of Time Trials for the new Inductor that rotate daily and test riders’ talents.

Make clever use of the Inductor’s battery for temporary speed boosts, and make sure your Stamina attribute is at peak levels to beat the par time for GTA$ and RP. Look for the Junk Energy Time Trial location on the map to get started.

Sydney, Australia — July 21, 2023 — Today, Ubisoft announced that For Honor’s newest Hero, the Ocelotl, will release on July 27. A fierce but calculating warrior, the new Hero, inspired by the Aztec civilization, begins his quest for vengeance against the greedy Conquistador this season.

Earlier this season in For Honor, the Conquistador Vela, the latest Hero Skin, stole a civilization’s riches and took their fiercest warrior as a prisoner. To free him, his people arrive in Heathmoor and avenge the terror the Conquistadors inflicted on their homeland. The prisoner, an Aztec hunter named Mixcoatl, ensures he earns his vengeance through his deadly combat style. Duel-wielding the Macuahuitl club and the Tepoztopilli spear, his ability lets him stalk his opponents and strike with overwhelming strength when he chooses. His archetype, the Ocelotl, will be the fourth Outlander Hero, joining the Afeera, the Pirate, and the Medjay.

Coinciding with the Ocelotl’s launch, For Honor will launch a Performance Mode so console players can best optimise their gameplay experience. More information about this mode can be found at https://forhonorgame.com/performance_mode.

In addition, a free week will be available on PlayStation, Xbox, Steam, the Epic Games Store, and Ubisoft Connect from July 27 to August 3. Free Week players will have full access to the Standard Edition of For Honor, and those who want to keep battling after the free period will be able to carry on their progression and heroes to the full game once purchased.

Earlier this season, updates to For Honor’s in-game tutorials were added to improve the onboarding experience and ensure a smoother, simpler entry to current and new players, and provide a safe bridge to multiplayer. New players, in addition to the Free Week and the full access to the Standard Edition, will have the opportunity to try the new onboarding feature.

Starting July 27, players will be able to purchase the new Ocelotl Hero from first-party stores for AU$11.95 as part of a package that includes the new Hero, one Exclusive Ornament, one Elite Outfit, seven days of Champion Status, and three scavenger crates. Players can also unlock the Hero on August 10 for 15,000 Steel in-game. In addition, a free Event Pass with a Battle Outfit, an Effect, and an Ornament will be available at the launch of the Hero.

With over 34 million players, For Honor is available to play now on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC with Xbox Game Pass, Steam, the Epic Games Store, as well as on PlayStation^®4 and Ubisoft+, the Ubisoft subscription service. For Honor is also playable on PlayStation^®5 and Xbox Series X | S through backward compatibility.

At a panel held at San Diego Comic-Con today in the historic Hall H, Insomniac Games revealed an array of exciting new information for their upcoming PlayStation 5 game, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, releasing on Friday, 20 October 2023.

The panel kicked off with the debut of a brand-new trailer, which sets up the story in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. When Kraven’s hunters arrive in the city, it sets off a mystery of why they are there and who, and what, they are hunting. But as the Spider-Men and MJ dig deeper into Kraven’s motivations, the symbiote begins to threaten Marvel’s New York and everyone and everything they hold dear. 

Check out the epic new story trailer here.

As many may have noticed in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2’s Gameplay Trailer from the PlayStation Showcase in May, Peter’s new Black Suit affected his personality and gives him new, powerful symbiote abilities. Bits of that are shown in this trailer as well, and Peter’s symbiote powers tax his relationships with Miles, MJ and Harry.

There are new looks at the expanded Marvel’s New York and players will now be able to swing across the East River and explore Brooklyn and Queens. The iconic Coney Island also makes its debut in the new trailer. 

Additionally, a full look at the monstrous Venom is revealed in the new trailer. 

The panel concluded with the first look at the Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Limited Edition bundle, which features stunning designs that capture the look and feel of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. The threat of Venom and the symbiote will be one of the most formidable challenges that the two Spider-Men will face. The designs aim to reflect the intensity of the symbiote and its capacity for transformation and power with a takeover design for the PS5 console and DualSense wireless controller. 

The limited edition design will be available in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Limited Edition – PS5 Console Bundle, as well as PS5 Console Covers – Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Limited Edition, PS5 Digital Edition Console Covers – Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Limited Edition, and DualSense Wireless Controller – Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Limited Edition, with pre-orders starting July 28.

VANCOUVER, Canada — July 20, 2023 — Frank and Drake, the gorgeous rotoscoped narrative adventure starring an unlikely duo solving a conspiracy developed by Appnormals — the award-winning creators of STAY — and published by Chorus Worldwide (Coffee Talk series, A Space for the Unbound), faces a dark truth from two perspectives today on PC via Steam, Nintendo Switch in the Americas, PlayStation 5|4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One. European and Asian Nintendo Switch versions will launch soon.

Set in the fictional Baltimore-inspired Oriole City, enter the lives of the eponymous protagonists embroiled in a strange conspiracy. Frank works by day as the superintendent of a ramshackle apartment complex while recovering from amnesia. His roommate Drake lives a nocturnal life thanks to his sunshine allergy, and recently began suffering from premonitory visions. Asynchronously, they must work together to decipher a tangled web of strange mysteries, sharing clues through post-it notes on their refrigerator.

Navigate a character-based day/night cycle teeming with macabre riddles, cryptic puzzles, and mystifying mini-games. Delve into the duo’s collective perception of the world around them and piece the whole story together through branching narrative paths with multiple endings. Discover enlightening insights resulting from in-game decisions and unearth an inconceivable clashing of two fates — then find out who’s responsible.

Frank and Drake’s story comes to life through the use of rotoscoping, with more than 5,000 frames of animation traced over real-world filmed references. This animation style lends the tale a fluid, distinct look that brings the unlikely protagonists and the characters they interact with to life. That includes Underdog, Frank’s scrappy one-eyed, wheelchair-riding dog — though Drake’s nocturnal conduct may first require gaining the dog’s trust.

“Oriole City and its denizens have so much character to offer,” said Shintaro Kanaoya, founder and CEO of Chorus Worldwide. “The first impression of Frank and Drake’s rotoscoped world is just the beginning. We can’t wait for you all to see Frank and Drake’s merging of realities — which path will you take first?”

Frank and Drake releases today on PC via Steam, Nintendo Switch (in the Americas), PlayStation 4|5, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One for $24.99 / €22.99 / £19.99. The game supports English, Japanese, French, German, Spanish, and Portuguese language text. Physical versions for Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5|4 will arrive on store shelves later this year from Funstock. Nintendo Switch versions in Europe and Australia launch soon. 

For more information, follow Appnormals and Chorus Worldwide on Twitter, and visit the official Frank and Drake page on Chorus Worldwide’s website.

The 151 Essence Stones that can be found in the world of Atlas grant you a wide range of extra effects and abilities. Whether you prefer to play aggressively or with a mix of shields, debuffs and healing, you can combine Essence Stones how you like to create your own approach to combat.

These tools allow you to take on intense fights against a wide bestiary of Wraiths. Adapt and play wisely against each opponent, and extend the combat possibilities even further with a friend in two-player online co-op mode. You can play the full story campaign together, finding the most incredible synergies to defeat your enemies in increasingly impressive style.
