Hinwil, 14 June 2023 – Alfa Romeo F1 Team KICK Esports will have the nous, experience and talent of one of the foremost esports organisations in the world – and of its Grand Prix-winning CEO – by its side as it announces a partnership with R8G e-Sports Sim Racing Team, the organisation created and led by former Formula One star, Romain Grosjean.

R8G, which boasts a wealth of talent, both in the driving department and in its extensive support team of engineers, coaches and managers, will work with Alfa Romeo F1 Team KICK Esports as it goes for the biggest prize of all, the World Championship crown in the F1 Esports Pro Championship.

R8G e-Sports Sim Racing Team is racing across various platforms: with many titles and wins to its name, as well as million impressions on social media, the organisation became a major online racing force in the last three years. R8G won the 24 Hours of Le Mans Virtual and the ESL Drivers’ World Title, finishing runner-up in Formula E Accelerate, DTM eSports and the SimRacing World Cup. In 2021, they took part in the first ever Olympic Virtual Games, earning a silver medal. They entered the F1 Esports scene in the same year, rising quickly thanks to their team structure and their emphasis on developing young talent.

Alessandro Alunni Bravi, Team Representative: “R8G is the partner we need to help Alfa Romeo F1 Team KICK Esports make another step forward. Our strategy is ambitious, both in terms of what we expect from the competitions we take part in, to what we want to deliver to our partners and fans: to achieve this, we need top-tier partners, and R8G fits the bill perfectly. They have a proven track record of success, both in F1 Esports and in the wider world of simracing, and they know how to deliver strong results. In Romain, they have a leader who has competed at the highest levels throughout his career and is translating his expertise into benefits for the whole team. We are excited about the season ahead and the future of our esports team.” 

Romain Grosjean, CEO of R8G e-Sports: “In the three years since I created my esports team, everything has been geared towards detecting young talent and winning titles. We have emerged from zero in just three years, to become one of the best structures in the world. It is obviously an honour to work with Sauber Esports and Alfa Romeo F1 Team KICK Esports to play a leading role in F1 Esports. On track and off track. I know most of the people in the team since years all around in F1 paddocks. Our experiences in both the real and virtual world will help us to take the final step. There is a lot of talent in the team and a lot of energy, desire and ambition. I cannot wait for the season to start.”

The time is coming for a legend. LEGEND BOWL brings back the glory days of pixel football games, where each game was a complete experience providing 1000s of hours worth of gameplay, stuffed to the brim with features that made you truly feel like the coach, and with endless replayability. With the perfect mix of hybrid arcade-style football and simulation aspects on and off the field, LEGEND BOWL is bringing the gridiron back to glory.

LEGEND BOWL will be brought to PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and Series X|S consoles by Top Hat Studios, Inc. this summer 2023.

Hailed as the “second coming of Tecmo Bowl” [PC Gamer], and the American Football game that’s “the modern ‘Madden’ alternative you’ve been craving” [Inverse], LEGEND BOWL is THE genre defining challenger to the staples of gridiron sports games. After an arduous multi-year long porting process, which involved deep enterprise-level collaboration between Top Hat Studios, Inc., and YoYoGames to make radical core improvements to GMS2, the game’s underlying engine, LEGEND BOWL delivers a smooth, native gameplay experience optimized for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. The game is also coming to Nintendo Switch and last generation consoles, Xbox One and Playstation 4, thanks to extensive engine optimizations.

Legend Bowl’s flagship mode is a fully fledged FRANCHISE mode, which gives players the feeling of being in the coach’s seat they’ve been craving for. Create your own coach (or choose one from the league), pick one of the 32 unique teams to champion, and then take them through successive, complete, 17 week schedules. Manage your stadium facilities, team rosters and player’s needs, and face the grilling of the press on the news wire. There’s also a complete off season where you’ll take your team through retirements, free agency, player progression, and a full 7 round draft. Legend Bowl puts you into the center of the action, and you’ll need to manage the chemistry of your roster and players to build a legendary team. And as a living, breathing franchise… the actions of other teams will matter, too…

Regardless of mode, player control and customization is key. In LEGEND BOWL, you’ll be able to fully customize players, coaches, and teams to create your very own dream league. Choose from a variety of hairstyles, faces, visors, earrings, hats, headbands, gloves, and more to build as unique of a roster as you can dream up. When it comes to attention to detail, nothing’s spared. Realistic weather, complete with a time cycle lighting system, makes you feel the chill or heat on the field. Clear, cloudy, rain or snow, you’ll have to brave it all. On the field stat overlays, halftime stats, end of game stats, field art, live referees, chain gang, mascots, advertisements, fans and more get you immersed in the game and put you in the stadium!

For more drop-in style play, exhibition mode allows you to simply select any 2 teams, and face them off as either Human vs CPU, Human vs Human, or just watch sparks fly as CPU vs CPU! Play with up to 4 players locally. There’s also bracket style tournaments, where 16 teams try to finish at the top. Momentum and weight makes you feel the impact of every tackle, fumble, or kick, and brings the battle on the gridiron alive. Carefully balanced to have the optimal mix of arcade style fun with realistic/sim gameplay mechanics, speed, agility, acceleration and more all come into play.

London (June 13, 2023) Today at the Xbox Games Showcase: Extended, Capcom presented an in-depth look at a brand-new player versus environment (PvE) game mode coming to Exoprimal™ called Savage Gauntlet. Alongside detailing this new co-op experience, the event debuted additional Exosuit variants joining the roster in a post-launch update. Exofighters eager to get a taste of the online team-based action game before it launches this July can join the wargames in Open Beta Test 2 later this week.

Savage Gauntlet is a new game mode where five-player teams take on PvE scenarios that rotate weekly. These limited-time missions are late-game content that offer a higher level of challenge. Exofighters are encouraged to take leveled-up Exosuits into these combat tests and equip Module power-ups. Savage Gauntlet presents squads across the world with the same objective and the Exoprimal community is invited to vie for the fastest completion time. The missions are replayable and groups are welcome to come back and try new strategies to achieve higher rankings and even earn rewards.

In addition to showcasing this competitive PvE mode, Exoprimal Director Takuro Hiraoka introduced new Exosuit variants. These designs feature distinct combat styles that contrast with their default models, introducing new ways to play. For example, while Deadeye typically comes equipped with an assault rifle, its Alpha variant wields a weapon with burst fire and shotgun capabilities.

The full list of Alpha variant Exosuits includes:

• Deadeye Alpha: Burst Fire
• Zephyr Alpha: Energy Chakram
• Barrage Alpha: Rocket Hop
• Vigilant Alpha: Marksman
• Roadblock Alpha: Fortress Shield
• Krieger Alpha: Charge Shotgun
• Murasame Alpha: Frost Glaive
• Witchdoctor Alpha: Duality Beam
• Skywave Alpha: Thunderclap
• Nimbus Alpha: Double Barrel

The Alpha variant Exosuits are coming to Exoprimal in a post-launch title update. New content will be added to the game with each season, so stay tuned to see what else is on the way in the future.

Exoprimal releases worldwide on July 14, 2023 for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Windows, PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, PC via Steam, and it arrives day one with Xbox Game Pass for console, PC, and Cloud.

Prior to launch, players can join the wargames early in Open Beta Test 2, which takes place on all supported platforms Friday, June 16 at 01:00 BST/02:00 CEST – Monday, June 19 at 00:59 BST/01:59 CEST. This beta includes new features, including 10-player co-op missions and story content providing a deeper look at the main game mode, Dino Survival. Open Beta Test 2 participants are also eligible to receive the “Flash” skin for Zephyr as a special bonus item that can be used in the full game.

Pre-orders for Exoprimal are available now and include three Exosuit skins as a bonus. Beyond the Standard Edition, the “Deluxe Edition” bundles in the “Head Start Kit,” which consists of three more Exosuit skins, plus early unlock tickets for Nimbus, Vigilant, and Murasame. These Exosuits can be unlocked via gameplay as well. As a limited-time bonus, the Deluxe Edition also includes “Survival Pass Season 1: Premium Tier,” which features additional cosmetic rewards.

About Exoprimal

Exoprimal is an online, team-based action game pitting humanity’s futuristic Exosuit technology against history’s most ferocious beasts – dinosaurs. Set in 2040, players are pulled into wargames orchestrated by the advanced A.I. Leviathan. In the main game mode Dino Survival, teams of five Exofighters race to complete objectives while fending off hordes of dinosaurs to survive. Each match is different from the last, and players can swap between Exosuits at any time and change their tactics as new challenges arise. Along the way, players will unlock story sequences and earn rewards to customize their Exosuits.
