Farm Manager 2022 is the second instalment of the popular series of economic farming strategies. The game mainly focuses on managing and developing a farm.

Naturally, our game focuses on farming and animal husbandry. However, to become successful, you need to pay attention to the most important elements: hiring and managing employees, managing finances, warehouses, as well as the placement of buildings and the availability of agricultural machinery. The gameplay is also influenced by other conditions, including those related to the changing seasons and weather”, says Rafał Szymański, CEO at Cleversan Games.

The developers have prepared many improvements and new solutions compared to the first instalment. They have significantly increased the number of available plants, animals and machines, and added a variety of special buildings (e.g. a veterinary centre and a mechanic’s garage).

The game takes a holistic approach to farming, while providing many hours of quiet and addictive fun. Fans of agriculture and strategy will have a lot of room for action here” – adds Rafał Jelonek, COO at Ultimate Games S.A.

Farm Manager 2022 – main features:

  • running and developing a farm;
  • soil cultivation, animal breeding;
  • employee management;
  • various agricultural machines;
  • changing seasons and weather.

Alfa Romeo F1 Team ORLEN Esports reveals 2022 line-up

Hinwil, 20 July 2022 – Alfa Romeo F1 Team ORLEN Esports will make a strong bid for the 2022 F1 Esports Pro Championship title as it presented its line-up for the new season, featuring Nico Longuet, Tomek Poradzisz and the returning Dani Bereznay. Longuet and Poradzisz have been revealed as the newest additions to the roster, while Bereznay, a multiple F1 Esports race winner, makes his comeback to the team where he spent some memorable seasons in the past.

20-year-old Franco-Italian Longuet scored three pole positions and two podiums in 2021, ultimately finishing in seventh place in the 2021 F1 Esports Pro Series. Passionate about motorsports from a very young age, Nico still holds the record as the youngest F1 Esports driver ever to have scored a podium, and joins the team from Alpine.

16-year-old Pole Poradzisz has recently been crowned 2022 F1 Esports Challengers Champion in the PC league, having previously conquered the Polish F1 Series title three times. Despite his young age, Tomek has been around the F1 Esports scene for a few years, an established and well-known presence now making the step to the top tier.

Bereznay returns to Alfa Romeo F1 Team ORLEN Esports after having competed for the team in 2019 and 2020, seasons in which he finished P3 and P5, respectively. Bringing his skills and extensive knowledge of the Championship, the talented Hungarian will join his team-mates in their quest for the 2022 F1 Esports crown.

Nico Longuet: “I am excited to compete in the 2022 F1 Esports Pro Championship with Alfa Romeo F1 Team ORLEN Esports this year. I like to consider this as a fresh new start, with new team-mates and a whole new crew behind me. There is a strong team spirit already: we get along very well and enjoy spending time together so I am sure this year we can be very competitive. As always, my objective is nothing less than winning because I have shown in my years competing that I am capable of achieving that. I hope to see the fans in the chat rooting for us!”

Tomek Poradzisz: “I am thrilled to finally compete in the F1 Esports Pro Championship, and I could not have had a better team to start this journey with, having worked with some of my team-mates for over three years now. The atmosphere within the team is great, and my team-mates are two extremely fast and experienced drivers – which just reassures me even more that we can achieve big things this year. The goal is quite simple – bring the team to the top, exactly where it belongs, and I know that we can do it.”

Dani Bereznay: “Coming back to Alfa Romeo F1 Team ORLEN Esports feels like coming home, and it is one of the best days of my entire life. Hopefully, we can re-write history together with renewed energy and represent the team in the best possible way. Practice has been going on for a long time now with my team-mates and I see really great potential of upcoming success.”

Frédéric Vasseur, Team Principal Alfa Romeo F1 Team ORLEN: “Our Esports program keeps playing a big part in our efforts to bring our fanbase closer to the team. The F1 Esports scene has become incredibly competitive and keeps growing, and Alfa Romeo F1 Team ORLEN wants to continue to play a leading role in it. We are thrilled to be welcoming Nico and Tomek to the team and delighted to have Dani back with us after having worked together for two successful years in the past. We can be proud of fielding three of the best talents on the current F1 Esports scene, and I cannot wait to see what we can achieve together over the course of the season.”

He was recognized as “Person of the Year” at the 2002 video games Phenix Awards; Syberia was crowned “Best adventure game of the year” in 2002 in the USA. In April 2004, the release of Syberia 2 met the same success as the first episode of the saga and was greeted with enthusiasm by fans all over the world. With Syberia 3, Benoît Sokal chose to stick with the old-fashioned way of drawing with pencils and watercolors, rather than using digital tools, giving his universe and characters a very distinctive look.

July 20th, 2022 – Marvelous Europe today announced No More Heroes 3 is coming to PlayStation®4, PlayStation®5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S on October 14th.

Being the “number-one assassin in the world” isn’t what it used to be. Otaku hero Travis Touchdown is back once more, forced out of retirement to defend Santa Destroy, and the whole world, in an intergalactic test of might while proving he’s more than just a washed-up has-been who talks to his cat. Warm up those beam katanas, tighten up the all-new Death Glove, and get ready to partake in outrageous boss battles against the evil Prince FU and his 10 alien henchmen as Travis fights his way to the top of the Galactic Superhero Rankings!

The PlayStation®5 and Xbox versions of No More Heroes 3 will also be available physically, including a copy of the game featuring an all-new illustration by series artist Yusuke Kozaki for the case, 3 art cards and a double-sided poster featuring Travis and his trusty Demzamtiger.

About No More Heroes 3

The legendary assassin Travis Touchdown returns once again to the Garden of Madness! The evil Prince FU, a self-proclaimed superhero from the farthest reaches of the galaxy, has landed on Earth with his sights set on world conquest. In order to save humanity, our no-more-hero must fight to rise to the top of the Galactic Superhero Rankings, taking on each of FU’s nine alien henchmen before he can earn a title match against the prince himself.

Grow Your Galactic Legend

In classic No More Heroes style, the Galactic Superhero Rankings are packed with outrageous boss battles, each oozing with personality. Soar through the ranks and prove you’re the baddest in the universe.

Old Dog, New Tricks

Travis may be one bad day away from a mid-life crisis, but he’s still an innovator when it comes to kicking ass. From beam katana boss to wrestling pro, Travis can do it all. Take violence to new extremes with the customizable Death Glove, and punish those deadly invaders with combat that suits your style.

Superheroic Side Hustles

Battling aliens ain’t cheap. Explore Santa Destroy on Travis’ Demzamtiger to pick up odd jobs, from Coast Guard missions to toilet cleaning, then hit the road to unique locales outside of Santa Destroy like Neo Brazil and Thunderdome to keep the cash rolling in.

Bolder, Badder, and Better Than Ever

Thanks to sharper visuals, No More Heroes 3 has never looked better. Add in improved load times and better responsiveness, and you’ll be dishing out eye-popping ultra-violence in no time.

Developed by Grasshopper Manufacture, No More Heroes 3 will release on October 14th for the PS4™ system, and PS5™, and will be supported with Smart Delivery on the Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S across Europe and Australia. The title has been rated ACB MA 15+.
