Conquer 16th Century Japan using a Fierce Array of War Tactics in KOEI TECMO’s NOBUNAGA’S AMBITION: Awakening

March Troops Toward the Border while Utilizing a Network of Castles to Secure Victory!

BURLINGAME, Calif. — May 25, 2023 — Today, KOEI TECMO America and developer Kou Shibusawa revealed the use of Province War Tactics and castle support in their upcoming tactical strategy game, NOBUNAGA’S AMBITION: Awakening. The 16th entry in Kou Shibusawa’s historical simulation franchise, NOBUNAGA’S AMBITION: Awakening mixes military might with political diplomacy in a quest to conquer Japan’s Warring States. The title will be available digitally in North America on July 20, 2023 and is currently in development for PlayStation®4, Nintendo Switch, and PC Windows via Steam®.

In NOBUNAGA’S AMBITION: Awakening, players experience Japan’s chaotic Warring States Period by taking over the role of daimyō – a powerful Japanese feudal lord and land owner. As players progress and begin taking over larger pieces of the map, their tactics expand through the cooperation between daimyō and officer provinces. Here, a regent, who is the leader of a province, will propose Province War Tactics, with various scenarios playing out depending on the regent’s ability. Tactics include: joint offensives, with all troops marching towards the same target as the daimyō province; ranging attacks, where provinces attack multiple castles of the same enemy clan all at once; bolster, where troops in the rear send soldiers to the allied units in the frontline; and feint, where troops march near enemy borders, luring them out of their castles to create opportunities for an allied units’ attacks. With so many tactics to choose from, it’s key for players to choose their regents wisely in order to outmaneuver enemy forces!

In addition, players can now appoint roles to castles, helping add new lines of strategy within the castle network. A castle that is deemed a “defensive base” is crucial for defense, setting up a stage for sieges. Meanwhile, having an “assistance base” near the defensive base can help increase the number of protecting soldiers when attacked by a large force of enemies. On top of that, a “resupply base” will help support marches and long-term expeditions with additional supplies when troops are passing through on their way to the next fight.

Dragon’s Dogma II Debut Trailer and Details Released

About a year ago Dragon’s Dogma II was announced to the delighted surprise of many and now Capcom has decided to show off the first trailer, screenshots, and details about the upcoming sequel and while no release window has been given the company has stated that the game will be coming to the Xbox Series X, PlayStation 5, and PC.

Dragon’s Dogma II will make use of Capcom‘s RE Engine and once again allow players to recruit Pawns to their party and provide the player with a wide array of vocations for their Arisen to take as they battle with Pawns and enemies reacting dynamically to the player’s actions on the field. Dragon’s Dogma II begins in a subterranean jail, where the Dragon’s voice echoes in the fog of lost memories. With their heart taken by the Dragon, the Arisen is set on a path to slay that symbol of the world’s destruction.

The debut trailer, found below, features all of the content that fans loved from the original plus a whole lot more including different races of characters, new spells, and more.

Alan Wake II Arrives October 17

It looks like Alan Wake fans won’t have to wait too much longer to see how the story will continue as Epic Games and Remedy Entertainment have announced that they will be releasing Alan Wake II on the Xbox Series X, PlayStation 5, and PC on October 17th. In a rather strange move, the company is choosing to release Alan Wake II as a digital only title citing that doing so will help keep costs down, allowing the standard version of the game to remain at $59.99 USD alongside a digital deluxe edition priced at $79.99 USD that will include the expansion pass as well as costumes and weapon charms for both Alan and Saga.

Remedy has described the story saying that a string of ritualistic murders threatens Bright Falls, a small-town community surrounded by Pacific Northwest wilderness. Saga Anderson, an accomplished FBI agent, arrives to investigate. Meanwhile, Alan Wake, a lost writer trapped in a nightmare beyond our world, writes a dark story in an attempt to shape the reality around him and escape his prison. Anderson and Wake are two heroes on two desperate journeys in two separate realities, connected at heart in ways neither of them can understand. Trapped in a sinister horror story where there are only victims and monsters, can they break out to be the heroes they need to be?

A trailer showcasing gameplay and parts of the story can be found below alongside a number of new screenshots for Alan Wake II.

The Launch to Rule Them All, The Lord of the Rings: Gollum Available Now

Daedalic’s story-driven adventure set in Middle-earth launches today on PC and consoles

Hamburg, Germany, May 25th, 2023 – Get ready to return to Middle-earth and hop into the skin and bones of fantasy’s most endearing anti-hero: After more than four years of blood, sweat and raw fish, The Lord of the Rings: Gollum from Daedalic Entertainment and NACON releases today on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox. The developers from Hamburg are proud to deliver a narrative adventure based on the largest IP ever worked on by a German studio.

Carsten Fichtelmann, CEO of Daedalic Entertainment on Gollum: “Our game is true to the lore created by professor Tolkien for which we are very proud. This narrative adventure is a treat for all fans of The Lord of the Rings and players can look forward to meeting both new faces and old friends!”

The Lord of the Rings: Gollum is a story-driven action adventure set in the world of the novels. Embark on a perilous journey as Gollum, chasing the only thing that is precious to him. Climb, leap, and sneak your way past dangers or into advantageous spots. Gollum is skillful and sly, and torn by a split personality. It is up to you to decide whether to yield to the darker side of Gollum or trust the kinder gentler hint of Sméagol. Travel from the depths of Mordor to the beautiful realm of the wood elves and meet compelling characters both familiar and new in a story steeped deep in the lore of Middle-earth.  

“Working with the Daedalic team on the development of the Gollum game during the past several years has been a phenomenal experience for all of us at Middle-earth Enterprises,“ Director of Brand & Licensing, Fredrica Drotos mused. “And we‘re eagerly anticipating Middle-earth‘s fans‘ reactions to Daedalic‘s deep dive into the singularly complex Stoor Hobbit, Smeagol aka Gollum, who is driven by forces, within and outside his control, simultaneously.“

Co-published by Daedalic Entertainment and NACON, The Lord of the Rings: Gollum is developed by a small team of passionate Tolkienites at Daedalic Entertainment in partnership with Middle-earth Enterprises. The game releases digitally for PC, PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One, with a physical version for consoles also available. A Nintendo Switch™ version  is planned for later this year.
