Gear Up to Explore “The Depths of Tharis Island” in Season 2 of The Cycle: Frontier, Out Now

0

Explore the most challenging map yet in YAGER’s free-to-play extraction shooter and unearth a sprawling labyrinth of ancient power

BERLIN Sept. 28, 2022 The Cycle: Frontier’s second season, “The Depths of Tharis Island,” kicks off today on Steam and the Epic Games Store. After a wildly successful Season 1, Prospectors are invited back to Fortuna III to fight for rare materials, powerful weapons and the ultimate bragging rights on the hostile planet below. Learn more about what lies in the depths of Tharis island in this video from YAGER. Since every season ends with a progression wipe, this is the perfect opportunity for new or returning players to jump in and experience everything new in Season 2, including new campaign missions, gear perks, a new Fortuna Pass and, of course, Tharis Island, a mysterious locale that hosts a vast, unexplored, labyrinthian cave system.

Players can unlock Tharis Island, the first new map released for The Cycle: Frontier since its launch, by playing through the campaign. Tharis Island pits veteran Prospectors against hazards and missions like nothing they’ve seen before: among the abandoned ruins of the island slumbers unknown technology that can be used to enhance a Prospector’s gear in unique and powerful ways. Unlike the game’s previous maps, Tharis Island is more focused on interior spaces, drawing players into more dangerous encounters with challenges that players must figure out on their own.

Players will also gain access to an all-new Fortuna Pass featuring 100 levels of highly desirable rewards to unlock, including cosmetic items, Aurum, Salvage tokens and other goodies to help them survive and thrive on Tharis Island. The free track of the Fortuna Pass mostly offers gameplay rewards like weapons and gear, while the premium track includes new Prospector and weapon skins, emotes, weapon charms, XP boosters and enough Aurum to purchase next season’s Fortuna Pass if completed. Prospectors who opt to go the premium route will not have any gameplay advantages over those who do not, although they may look a little more awesome.

Season 2 also introduces a variety of general game, balance and anti-cheat improvements for The Cycle: Frontier. These quality-of-life upgrades will continue to roll out throughout the season and beyond. Check out what Season 2 has to offer by reading the patch notes here.

Join the members of the YAGER team as they celebrate the launch of Season 2 at 1:00 PM ET/ 10:00 AM PT on September 29 on their Twitch channel. Adam Cleaver, along with several other guests from the dev team, will discuss what’s new in Season 2, explore some of the mysteries on Tharis Island (including the new gear perk system) and give insights on the future of The Cycle: Frontier beyond Season 2.

About The Cycle: Frontier

Available on Steam and the Epic Games Store, The Cycle: Frontier is a free-to-play PvPvE extraction shooter driven by suspense and danger. Prospect for resources and other riches on an abandoned alien world ravaged by a deadly storm, inhabited by monsters, and frequently raided by other ambitious Prospectors.

Wild Hearts Revealed by EA and Omega Force

Perhaps one of the most unexpected combinations of developers and publishers has been announced today as EA and Koei Tecmo have revealed that they are working together to create a brand new game set in fantasy feudal Japan by the name of Wild Hearts. Wild Hearts is being developed by Omega Force and will be releasing on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC on February 17, 2023 for $69.99.

Wild Hearts takes place in Azuma, a fantasy landscape inspired by feudal Japan, that is now rampaged by the once peaceful Kemono, altering their environment at the cost of citizens’ lives. The Kemono range from plant-infused squirrels to the massive Kingtusk wild boar. After a dreadful fight with the winter wolf Deathstalker, players become bearers of a life-sustaining technology and are compelled to restore balance across the region. In the game players will be able to fight solo or team up with up to two friends in cross-play capable co-op.

A number of screenshots as well as the official reveal trailer for this fantasy hunting game can be found below.

Skull and Bones Delayed Once More to March 9, 2023

The oft delayed Skull and Bones previously had what appeared to be a solid release date of November 8th but that is no longer the case. Ubisoft has announced that they will be delaying Skull and Bones with Ubisoft Singapore aiming to provide “the best possible experience” and delay the game four months as a result. The company has now stated that Skull and Bones will now be releasing on March 9, 2023 where it will be available on the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PC, and even the Stadia and Luna platforms.

While this news will be disheartening for those looking forward to this pirate game, there was at least a bit of good news. The company also stated that while this delay is happening they will be holding an open beta for Skull and Bones sometime in the “near future” so we can likely expect an announcement sometime soon.
