In ONE PIECE ODYSSEY players will embark on an adventure with Luffy and the Straw Hat Crew as they are trying to regain their lost powers. To do so they will visit “Memoria”, a world built from the memories of their previous encounters, leading them to go back to important locations in their history such as Alabasta, and Water Seven.

In this adventure, you will experience a new story of the Straw Hats, with a focus on Usopp and Robin. This quest will lead them to see familiar places like the Gallery-La Company or faces like Franky’s gang, Iceburg, Aokiji some of the CP9 members like Lucci and Kaku. But while places and situations can look and feel familiar, nothing is as it exactly was in these memories and players will see some differences with the story some of them know and love.

Produced by Toei Animation and based on the top-selling manga title of all time by creator Eiichiro Oda, the One Piece series first premiered on Japanese TV in October 1999 and follows Luffy and his Straw Hat Crew on their epic quest to find “One Piece,” the legendary treasure of the former King of the Pirates, Gol D. Roger.

World of Warships and World of Warships: Legends bring in a fresh shipment of content for November

• The world’s biggest naval MMO across PC and console releases its shipment of new content headlined with Japanese ships for November
• Japanese light cruisers make way to Early Access and submarines come to the tech tree in World of Warships on PC
• Tier VIII Premium Japanese destroyer Hayate awaits players at the end of the Brewing Storm campaign with pirate booty coming to World of Warships: Legends on Xbox and PlayStation

7^thNovember – World of Warships and World of Warships: Legends, have launched two absolutely packed November updates. World of Warships on PC sees playable submarines landing in the tech tree, as well as an impressive selection of Japanese light cruisers entering Early Access. Console players are also treated to new ships and content in World of Warships: Legends with a five-week, 100-milestone campaign where Japanese Premium Tier VIII  destroyer Hayate awaits, and a Treasure Chest of pirate content including two new Captains and crates with various plunder inside, including a fistful of guaranteed doubloons.

Japanese light cruisers and submarines set to sea

Kicking off World of Warships November content drop is the introduction of six new Japanese light cruisers to Early Access. These ships are armed with high-damage and high-range torpedoes to strike significant damage on enemies from far away. Further enabling sneak attacks, these cruisers can take advantage of the element of surprise using their good camouflaging. From Tier VII upwards ships in this range sport torpedo tubes equipped with a revolving mechanic, and Tier VIII upwards also see the addition of a large number of main battery guns.

These ships are available to players through a wide range of means, with some ships available through consecutive sets like the Agano, Gokase and Shimanto, and others available through combat missions and in random packs.

As these ships enter Early Access, submarines have departed and made their way to the tech tree, with German and American submarines researchable to all players. These covert vessels span Tier VI-X, and can strike lethal damage with their powerful torpedoes. The two nations offer different opportunities for gameplay, as German ships sport long-range acoustically guided torpedoes and a wide margin of autonomy, while the American submarines are equipped with short-range acoustic torpedoes and boast quicker recovery.

Premium Japanese destroyer and Pirate antics

World of Warships: Legends also offers Japanese watercraft to its players, with Japanese Tier VIII Premium destroyer Hayate waiting at the end of a classic Warships-style Brewing Storm campaign, taking place across five weeks with 100 milestones to achieve. Hayate is powerful, with a sturdy HP pool, as well as impressive torpedoes and excellent fire-starting capabilities. To secure this beauty, players must complete Brewing Storm with Admiralty Backing active; however a catch-up mechanic is in place alongside Heroic Effort missions to help carry stragglers to victory.

Pirates also come on board in this update, with plenty of treasure for players to unearth, including two new Captains, each with their own unique voiceover, two new ships Caprice and La Foudre, and themed Treasure Chest Crates packed full of doubloons and plenty of other treats. Beyond this pirate content is the addition of six new ships for British and French navies, with three vessels for each nation. One destroyer, one cruiser and one battleship, including French Alsace and the British cruiser Neptune, can be located in the tech tree.

Finally, World of Warships: Legends celebrates Black Friday with a robust offering of deals and discounts across the board, from black ships to Commander Progression Items. The range consists of five impressive black warships, including famed battleship Bismarck and an Italian powerhouse Dante Alighieri, with the latter available through a special Black Friday mission.

Blazing speeds of the SSD 990 PRO can cut load times and increase game responsiveness while its thermal control solutions help keep the drive at optimal temperature for virtually uninterrupted play.

Available from today, the first 100 people to pre-order the SSD 990 PRO via the Samsung Online store between 7- 20 November 2022 will receive a bonus Portable SSD T7 500GB valued at $149.00[1].

The speed and efficiency of the SSD 990 PRO makes it a go-to choice for avid gamers and creatives

SYDNEY, Australia – November 7, 2022 – Samsung Electronics, the global leader in advanced memory technology,[2] today launched pre-order for the SSD 990 PRO in Australia – a high-performance NVMe SSD based on PCIe 4.0 which delivers seriously-fast speeds and power efficiency. Available from Samsung’s online Store and select resellers in a 1TB model and 2TB model; the new SSD is optimised for graphically demanding games and other intensive tasks including 3D rendering, 4K video editing and data analysis.

“With continuing innovations in gaming, 4K and 8K technology as well as AI-driven applications, consumer need for high-performance storage is growing exponentially,” said Phil Gaut, Senior Director of Display, and Brand Memory, Samsung Electronics Australia. “The 990 PRO provides the optimal balance of speed, power efficiency, and reliability, making it an ideal choice for avid gamers and creative professionals seeking uninterrupted work and play.” 

Extreme Performance for an Immersive Gameplay Experience

Featuring Samsung’s latest V-NAND and a new proprietary controller, the 990 PRO series offers the highest speed currently available from the PCIe 4.0 interface[3]. The SSD delivers sequential read and write speeds of up to 7,450 megabytes per second (MB/s) and 6,900 MB/s, respectively, while random read and write speeds come in at up to 1,400K and 1,550K IOPS[4], respectively. With up to a 55% improvement in random write performance over the 980 PRO[5], the 990 PRO is particularly well-suited for heavy gaming as well as creative and productivity tasks.

High-performance NVMe SSDs are also critical in reaping the full benefits of the latest game console and gaming technologies. Powered by NVMe, the 990 PRO brings fast loading times to compatible PCs and consoles for an immersive gaming experience. When tested with Forspoken[6], Luminous Productions’ action role-playing game supporting the latest game-loading technology, the map loading time was around one second, compared to 4 seconds for a SATA SSD and 28 seconds for a hard disk drive (HDD).

Outstanding Power Efficiency and Reliable Thermal Control

Built on a low-power architecture, Samsung’s newly designed controller dramatically improves the SSD’s power efficiency by up to 50% compared to the 980 PRO[7]. Additionally, the 990 PRO employs a nickel coating on the controller and a heat spreader label on the drive for reliable thermal management. Samsung’s Dynamic Thermal Guard technology further ensures that the drive’s temperature stays in the optimal range.

Samsung’s SSD 990 PRO is also an excellent solution for laptop and desktop upgrades as well as for build-your-own PCs, providing a significant performance boost while using minimal power for long battery life and thermal management.

Launching on 21 November, the SSD 990 PRO is available for pre-order from today via Samsung’s online Store in 1TB (RRP: $265.00) and 2TB (RRP: $439.00). The first 100 people to pre-order the SSD 990 PRO via the Samsung Online store between 7- 20 November 2022 will receive a bonus Portable SSD T7 500GB valued at $149.00 RRP[8].

A 4TB capacity version and a 990 PRO with Heatsink version has been confirmed to launch next year, with Australian availability yet to be announced.
