Gaijin Entertainment announces that the next big update for the military online action game War Thunder will be called “Apex Predators” and is planned for the end of December. It will bring three of the most famous fourth-generation jets ever, the F-16, MiG-29 and Panavia Tornado. All three are a part of the Air Force from many nations having performed combat missions in multiple conflicts. In addition, dozens of other new models of vehicles will appear in the game – for example, the Soviet 9A35M2 Strela-10M2 anti-aircraft system, the Israeli Magach 7 tank and the Japanese SUB-I-II armored personnel carrier prototype will be added to the game that will significantly expand the tactical options for players.

The F-16 Fighting Falcon is the most widely produced fourth-generation fighter and the most widely used combat aircraft in the world right now. Several versions of the F-16A modification used by the Air Forces of different nations will debut in War Thunder. The capabilities of F-16A have also been repeatedly tested in combat operations: for example, the Israeli Air Force used the F-16A over the territory of Lebanon in the early 80s, and the US Air Force did that during Operation Desert Storm in Iraq. The aircraft is in service with three dozen countries, and it is still being produced and modernized.

The F-16A has an excellent rate of climb and can climb almost vertically immediately after launch. The aircraft easily breaks the sound barrier while maintaining excellent handling and roll speed, allowing you to perform all basic combat maneuvers. Depending on the version and the chosen weaponry, the fighter can be used as a pure interceptor with guided missiles of the Sidewinder line, or as a multi-role aircraft equipped with adjustable or unguided bombs for ground attacks.

The MiG-29 is a Soviet fighter that was created in the same years as the F-16. Compared to the F-16A, the Soviet fighter is significantly heavier, but has slightly better rates of climb and top speed thanks to a more powerful power plant. As a result, the MiG-29 goes beyond the sound barrier a little longer, but it is able to maneuver almost freely at speeds of about Mach 1 without losing much energy. According to its concept, the MiG-29 was conceived primarily as an interceptor, but the design still provides for the installation of unguided weapons to work on ground targets – for example, heavy S-24B missiles, blocks with S-8KO missiles, bombs in calibers of up to 500 kg and incendiary tanks.

Panavia Tornado is a multi-purpose aircraft with  variable-swept, developed by a consortium of European countries in the late seventies, and is still in service, similarly to the F-16 and MiG-29. During their service with the Royal Air Force of Great Britain and other countries, the Tornadoes took part in numerous NATO combat operations – for example, in Iraq and Afghanistan. It is most often used as an attack aircraft, destroying ground targets with adjustable and free-falling bombs, but Sidewinder missiles allow it to counter air enemies as well.

With the release of the F-16, MiG-29, Tornado and other comparable combat aircraft in War Thunder, a new, eighth rank appears in the aircraft development trees. The rest of the aerial vehicles that will be assigned to it, as well as other new content of the Apex Predators update, will be announced in the coming weeks on the official website of the game.

Anshar Studios & Perp Games announce partnership to bring digital and physical PlayStation 5 version of the award winning Gamedec Definitive Edition to market.

London, UK, 12^th December  2022 Anshar Studios and Perp Games are delighted to announce they are partnering to bring Gamedec Definitive Edition to console, early 2023.

Gamedec is a narrative-focused, non-combat story that puts players in the shoes of a digital detective diving deep into case files spread across the digital worlds of 22nd century Warsaw. How you respond during each case is as important as what you discover—your personality determines skills that unlock different opportunities and paths to different cases.

We are excited Gamedec has a chance to hit the major league. The topic of a potential Gamedec release on PlayStation has been floating around since the crowdfunding campaign back in 2020. The partnership with Perp Games allows us to reach out to the new gamers, who surely will appreciate the extensive branching path the game has. We are aware the roster of PlayStation titles also shows, people are demanding games with choices and consequences. We hope you will feel the weight of the decisions faced by the detectives in the 22nd Century.” Jakub Kwinta – Head of Publishing, Anshar Publishing

“It is such a privilege to be partnering with Anshar Studios on the incredibly detailed game, Gamedec.  Perp Games has always had Virtual Reality close to our hearts and this is why Gamedec is such a great game as it explores a futuristic world where people live out second lives in Virtual Reality.   But this is vision of Virtual Reality that can go dark and sinister, very quickly.” Said Rob Edwards, CEO at Perp Games.

ABOUT GAMEDEC

Gamedec is an authentic RPG experience where decisions are important and come with consequences. The world in which you live adapts to each decision you make. As the story progresses, your hero adapts as well. Just like in “real” life, the consequences of your choices can be immediate, long-term, or stay hidden, surfacing only when you least expect them. Whatever you decide, the game will remain neutral without judging your choices or suggesting “better” options. It is up to you to evaluate what you’ve done. Just remember that in this job, the game is always on.

Anshar Studios returns to the foundations of the RPG genre with their new game, built on mechanics such as Deduction, the Codex, and Aspects. These allow for complex conversations and interactions as players create or expose networks of conspiracies while discovering unusual relationships between virtual worlds. Gamedec’s pen-and-paper-based RPG mechanics give players the freedom to approach situations from multiple perspectives.

YOU ARE THE SUM OF YOUR CHOICES

Your goal is to hunt down the criminals of virtual worlds – rich and spoiled businesspeople, corporations with plans to rewrite history. Are they acting alone, or are they mere puppets? What does a “happy ending” mean to you? To them? Each decision changes the world around you and your character’s personality. Some decisions will feel right, but others might be unexpected.

EXPLORE THE CYBERPUNK OF THE 22ND CENTURY

Welcome to Warsaw City in the 22nd century, where “real” is relative and “life” and “death” have many meanings. Real and virtual worlds have merged, giving rise to ancient vices: lust, sloth, pride, envy… That’s why everyone needs gamedecs – specialists who solve real problems in virtual worlds. Be it the Wild West or a prehistoric amusement park, these and many other worlds reveal our inclinations and weaknesses.

EXPERIENCE THE ESSENCE OF ROLE-PLAYING

Use your wits to gather info from witnesses and suspects, get to the bottom of deceptive schemes, save lives, and investigate the extraordinary relationships between virtual worlds and their inhabitants. Gamedec emulates the nature of tabletop RPGs by focusing on character development through decision-making. As in classic tabletop RPGs, you’re given the freedom to approach situations from multiple angles rather than forcing a single solution – the choice is yours and yours alone.

More information can be found on the game’s official website, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Discord.

Hinwil, 12 December 2022 – Alfa Romeo F1 Team ORLEN Esports looks back on a strong 2022 esports season as the team prepares for the final three rounds of the 2022 F1 Esports Series Pro Championship. Drivers Nico Longuet, Dani Bereznay, and Tomek Poradzisz head into Event Four firmly holding sixth place in the standings, fully aware the opportunity of moving up even higher to P5 is still within reach.

It’s been a positive season for the skilled ensemble, which collected a series of impressive results after quickly managing to turn the tide from a less-than-ideal start. Frenchman Longuet showed his great skills and consistency, finishing in the Top Ten in seven out of nine rounds so far, including a spectacular pole position in Monza which resulted in the team’s first P3 of the season. Following a pointless spell, returning race winner Dani Bereznay had a great Event Three, finishing fourth and seventh and scoring precious points. The team also prided itself with giving emerging talent Poradzisz the opportunity to grow and show his potential race after race.

The season also saw the unveiling of the Sauber Esports Arena, a brand-new home for the team and a significant step forward in Sauber Motorsport’s Esports programme, as further proof of its commitment to create a remarkable virtual racing legacy.

While Alfa Romeo F1 Team ORLEN Esports is currently sitting strongly in sixth place in the Constructors Standings, the fifth spot is just six points away: Nico, Dani, and Tomek are fully determined on giving everything until the Abu Dhabi chequered flag to finish the season on a high and achieve an even greater result for the team.

Event Four of the 2022 F1 Esports Series Pro Championship will take place from the 14th to 16th December. Round 10, 11, and 12 will be hosted in Suzuka, Interlagos, and Abu Dhabi respectively.
 
Cameron Cowell, Team Principal: “The F1 Esports Series Pro Championship almost flew by: it seems like yesterday when we were announcing our 2022 line-up and getting ready for our debut, and now we’re already approaching the final three rounds of the season. We can consider ourselves satisfied with the job done so far: we had a positive season, and our results constantly improved round after round. Together with two established talents like Dani and Nico, we also had the delight of seeing our rising star Tomek growing with the team. I am sure we will be witnessing great achievements from him in the future. We can cement our sixth-place position this week, but our aim is for more: P5 is still up for grabs, and I’m confident our drivers will be doing their very best to try and seize it.”

Nico Longuet: “After Event Three, we all needed a much-deserved break, to get our minds off the Championship for a while: it had been a few long weeks of constant driving and practicing, and I feel we were all quite exhausted. We have had much more time to prepare Event Four, and I think we have managed our time well. This is our last chance to clinch fifth place in the Constructors’ championship and we will give our all to do that. The tracks for this event are quite thrilling, especially Brazil, which is usually the track I perform best at, so I’m really looking forward to it. There are still some days of training ahead of the final three rounds, and I feel fresh and ready to compete again. Let’s end the year on a high!”

Dani Bereznay: “In terms of enjoying racing in general, Event Four tracks will make an exciting challenge for us, and I am sure they will provide awesome races. We have two main goals: to gain another position in the Constructors’ Championship, first, and to outperform ourselves compared to Event Three with our growing experience in the Sauber Esports Arena, to carry great confidence and momentum over the winter break and in the challenges ahead.”

Tomek Poradzisz: “After the first three Events, where we had to practice flat-out pretty much every day, we finally got a bit of rest time as there has been a full six-week break. Nevertheless, training resumed quickly, and we have been preparing hard for the final event of the season, which is our last chance to gain some crucial points for the Constructors’ Standings. Personally. My season has been a growing experience, I have been learning a lot and gaining much needed experience; I am hoping to show the best version of my driving in the final three races and bring home valuable results for the team”.

Jaw-droppingly detailed environments meet jaw-breaking combat in atmospheric new trailer

Gateshead, United Kingdom – December 9th, 2022 – A new trailer for Coatsink and Sad Cat Studios’ highly anticipated sci-fi action platformer, REPLACED, debuted today at The Game Awards. The trailer showcases more of the game’s jaw-dropping retro-futuristic dystopia, offering a tease about some of its backstory as we get glimpses of bleak abandoned landscapes, bustling neon cityscapes and stylish combat.

REPLACED is a 2.5D sci-fi retro-futuristic action platformer where you play as R.E.A.C.H. – an artificial intelligence trapped in a human body against its own will. The game blends cinematic platformering, stunning pixel art, free-flow action combat and a deep engaging dystopian story set in an alternative 1980’s.

In and around Phoenix-City, outlaws are rife in society. Everything is ruled by corruption and greed and the ones in power see humans and their organs as nothing more than currency. Explore and uncover the mysteries from the perspective of R.E.A.C.H, who is beginning to understand what it’s like to be human in a broken world.

Inspired by cyberpunk cinema like Blade Runner 2049 & Upgrade, developers Sad Cat Studios want to build an in-depth, complex world, with pixel art at the heart of REPLACED’s gritty, dystopian past.

REPLACED is planned for release in 2023 and will be available to play on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Xbox Game Pass for Console, Xbox Game Pass for PC, Steam & Epic Games Store with an optimized version for Xbox Series X|S.
