Exactly how much wood could a woodcut cut?

CAMBRIDGE, United Kingdom — June 19, 2023 — RuneScape’s Fort Forinthry season has just received a brand-new update with Woodcutter’s Grove, launching today. This arboreal addition to the Fort Forinthry storyline introduces a brand-new training area for woodcutting, a new best-in-slot hatchet, and a shedload of woodcutting perks to enhance RuneScape’s most relaxing skill.

Once the Woodcutter’s Grove is built, it becomes a one-stop shop for all woodcutting needs, including a trove of diverse trees for pro woodcutters and budding arborists alike. Notably, this content will unlock the most convenient Elder Tree location in the game, making the journey from level 1-99 a much less daunting task to take on.

This update allows players a chance to unlock the best-in-class Tier 80 Imcando Hatchet. By collecting four fragments of these legendary woodcutting tools throughout their woodcutting ventures, players can combine them with the Dragon Hatchet to make this powerful new skilling item.

Woodcutting is one of RuneScape’s most iconic skills. Not to be underestimated, it gives players access to vital resources required to build everything from deadly arrows to mighty forts. Woodcutting is also a number of players’ first skill that they fully invest in, so there is a nostalgic appeal to the humble Woodcutter’s Grove.

Other additions to RuneScape from Woodcutter’s Grove include general improvements to the woodcutting and fletching skills, upgradable wood boxes for storing logs, and the introduction of Wood Spirits, which provide an additional log to each successfully felled tree.

Fort Forinthry: Woodcutter’s Grove is members’ content. For more information, please visit the RuneScape website. RuneScape is available now on PC, Steam, iOS, and Android, complete with cross-platform progression and play on PC and mobile.

Note to Editors

Fort Forinthry: Woodcutter’s Grove requires the completion of New Foundations, Murder on the Border, and Unwelcome Guests to Tier 1, as well as level 10 Slayer and 50 Construction.

“Wake up guardian, wake up last savior. All the high humans have fallen. You are the last hope of this land. Bring order and wipe out chaos and darkness. The unspeakable has occurred, the unholy marriage of a High-human and darkness seed.” 

New York, United States, Monday 19th June, 2023: Fairyship Games, a small US-based developer with a focus on narrative-based titles, is excited to confirm forthcoming action-adventure RPG Testament: The Order of High Human will launch on Steam and Epic Store for PC on Thursday 13th July 2023.

Watch the brand new release date trailer here!

To celebrate the news, as well as releasing a brand new trailer – which you can watch here – the first publicly available demo of Testament: The Order of High Human will hit Steam Next Fest for free later today, opening up more than an hour of the game as it currently stands to anyone who wants to take it on.

Also in development for Xbox and PlayStation, Testament: The Order of High Human is an original first-person, story-based adventure RPG where players will find themselves taking on the role of Aran – the king of High humans in the land of Tessara – as he serves as guardian of the realm. 

Aran has been betrayed by his brother, Arva, and robbed of his powers as the world around him is plunged into darkness and overrun by ominous creatures. Players will be tasked with regaining his powers and confronting Arva to restore Tessara to its former glory, upgrading his sword, bow, and magic abilities as they go to develop their own unique fighting style. 

Testament: The Order of High Human is a tale of a fallen king’s journey to save his realm from darkness and destruction, which pays homage to leagues of different games and genres those at the 15-people strong studio grew up playing. 

“It’s amazing to be able to unveil Testament: The Order of High Human’s launch date after the best part of five years in development,” offers co-creator and studio co-founder Moe Naderi. “The reaction to the first trailer we put out last month has been immense, and we hope players are going to like our ‘melting pot’ approach of tipping Testament’s hat to some of the biggest adventure games from the last decade in play.”

In Testament: The Order of High Human you will:

• Experience an immersive combat style based around three different approaches, each one designed to offer its own unique traits that allow the player to rely on it to get through the majority of play.
• Master sword game-play with a variation of destructive and elemental combos.
• Take charge of 16 magic abilities including single-target spells, traps, Area of Effect (AoE attacks), Damage per Second (DPS), and defensive spells. 
• Utilize a magical bow with four different types of arrows such as a normal arrow, a ricochet arrow, an explosive arrow, and a passthrough arrow.
• Take advantage of a grand XP and upgrade system that motivates players to fully explore every land and dungeon. 
• Experience unique gameplay areas with exciting platforming that reminds you of the nostalgic excitement from retro 2D platformers.
• Take charge of a brand new ‘Eclipse System’ based on gameplay entities called eyes of darkness and it consists of 3 different gameplay mechanics that can work separately or together to deliver exciting encounters and challenges. 
• Use more than 18 consumables at the player’s disposal. These craftable items can affect the player’s health and mana or create enhancements to the player’s belongings and surroundings. Using them together can deliver advantages to help players shape their own playing style. 
• Take on more than 40 main and side-quests, carefully crafted and relevant to the game’s consistent storytelling. 
• Experience strong and engaging storytelling with a nonlinear narrative style. 

Testament: The Order of High Human has been in development for the past four and a half years by a small team of 15 people with a passion for storytelling. The game will launch on Steam and Epic Store for PC on Thursday 13th July 2023 for $34.99/€34.99/£29.99. Details on the PlayStation and Xbox launches will follow.

Make Headlines with the Return of ‘Braking Point’, Race with Confidence with New Precision Drive^™ Pad Technology and F1^® Driver Handling Improvements, and Compete Against Every Team and Driver on All Circuits for the 2023 FIA Formula One^® World Championship^™ 

Watch the Launch Trailer Here 

Redwood City, Calif. – June 17, 2023 – Today Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA) celebrated the worldwide launch of EA SPORTS^™ F1^® 23, an official game of the FIA Formula One World Championship^™ across PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation®4, Xbox One, and PC, via EA App, Epic Games Store, and Steam. Featuring handling upgrades, with feedback from actual F1^® teams, and Precision Drive^™ technology for pad play, players will feel a truly authentic experience when competing against every team and driver across all circuits for the 2023 season, including the highly anticipated Las Vegas Sprint Circuit™ and Losail International Circuit, Qatar. Players will also create headlines with the return of ‘Braking Point’, featuring a cast of new and returning fan favourites alongside a fresh team, Konnersport, trying to make a name for itself against the established grid.

“F1 23 has everything players love about competing for the World Championship and propels them further into the world of Formula 1. We’re connecting more players this season through F1 World, delivering fresh, timely challenges throughout the 2023 season and a new safety rating system designed to promote healthy, respectful multiplayer competition,” said Lee Mather, Senior Creative Director at Codemasters. “Whether competing on wheel or pad, players will immediately feel in control thanks to implemented feedback from real F1 drivers. Our Precision Drive controller technology will revolutionise pad play and give players a greater sense of what it’s like to handle some of the fastest vehicles in motorsport.”

‘Braking Point 2’ continues to focus on the lives of young upstart Aidan Jackson and his nemesis Devon Butler. In the latest chapter, the pair become teammates for the newly formed Konnersport Butler Racing Team, but an upcoming driver, Callie Mayer, the first woman to win the F2^™ World Championship, is waiting in the wings for a shot at the glamourous world of Formula 1^®. With so much at stake, on and off-track decisions and actions will determine Performance and Reputation levels, unlocking bonus objectives and rewards throughout the two gruelling seasons.

‘F1^® World’ is a central part of the solo and multiplayer F1^® 23 experience, connecting drivers with more ways to engage with the sport they love through daily, weekly, and seasonal content tied to the real-world calendar. The new-look hub helps newcomers navigate the world of Formula 1^®, creating challenges to improve their skills before fighting for podiums. F1^® World is home to beloved modes, including Grand Prix and Time Trial and features a new progression system, which unlocks car upgrades, liveries, race suits, and helmets. It also improves social connection with the new safety rating system fostering an environment of fair, competitive racing by pairing like-minded racers. The overhauled Ranked mode relies on equal-performance cars, so driver ability comes to the fore with a division-based system that includes promotion and relegation.  

Reacting to player feedback, the 35% race distance, previously only available as part of the Formula 1^® Esports Series and Red Flags, are included, adding more strategy to the race weekend. Alongside all 23 circuits for the 2023 FIA Formula One World Championship, including real-world updates to reflect the current season, F1^® 23 features three additional tracks, Paul Ricard (France), Shanghai (China), and Portimão (Portugal), available for both F1^® and F2^™ events. The game also includes fan-favourite modes, including Career, My Team and vastly improved Leagues, which can be accessed via EA Racenet, allowing players to create, join, schedule and manage custom multiplayer championships.

F1^® 23 Champions Edition is also available, featuring current World Champion and EA SPORTS ambassador Max Verstappen as the first-ever solo cover star. The digital-only edition comes with Max Verstappen Racewear Pack, ‘Braking Point 2’ Icons and Vanity Item Pack, Dual Entitlement*, an XP Boost, F1^® World Bumper Pack, 18,000 PitCoin, and four new My Team Icons, Nigel Mansell, Jamie Chadwick, Pastor Maldonado and Kamui Kobayashi. 

To celebrate the game’s launch and McLaren’s 60th anniversary, players can take part in a special F1^® World event and win the McLaren Triple Crown design for their F1® World car. It is based on a special livery the team presented at the Monaco Grand Prix symbolising their greatest achievements in motorsport. Many more events with special rewards aligning with the real-world calendar will follow in the coming months.
