Age of Water Closed Beta Applications Started

Gaijin inCubator and Three Whales Studio are pleased to announce that the Closed Beta Test of Age of Water, the upcoming adventure MMO taking place on a post-apocalyptic Earth completely covered in water, will start this summer. Anyone can apply for the beta at the official website, but the number of test participants is limited. Those who will be picked for the CBT will receive an email with a link to download the game and other necessary information.

In the Age of Water, people live on the roofs of high-rise buildings and on the tops of other man-made and natural objects that have turned into islands in the boundless ocean. Players freely roam the open world in a motorboat or small ship, recruiting new crew members, upgrading equipment and weapons, fighting or trading, completing quests, and uncovering the mysteries of the Age of Water.

Dozens of hulls and hundreds of parts are available to the players, from which they can assemble anything ranging from a small boat to a hefty 30 meters long vessel, and then equip it with gear, armor and weapons. It’s also important to gather a suitable team of crewmembers to man all the machine guns and cannons or do other jobs on board. In addition, the player can establish their own naval base. Such a hideout is reliably protected from enemies, and it is possible to organize the production of everything that the captain may need on it.

Pirates are always waiting for the player in the sea, and players can not only destroy the enemy watercraft, but also capture it in battle and make it their own forever. In addition, it’s possible to meet other players, interact with them, invite them to the team or help with the quest. But far from safe zones, players can also attack others. In Age of Water, everyone decides what their role will be today, a peaceful traveler or a bloodthirsty pirate

Games, 3D Realms, and Slipgate Ironworks™, today announce the launch of Ghostrunner: Complete Edition. This version of the critically-acclaimed first-person cyberpunk action game includes the recent Project_Hel expansion, highly replayable post-launch game modes, and all previously released cosmetic packs for [$39.99/€39,99/£34.99] on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Amazon Luna, and PC via Steam, the Epic Games Store, and GOG.

Scale Dharma Tower, a megastructure serving as humanity’s last shelter, on a violent mission to take down a cruel tyrant.

Daniel Deluxe’s electronic soundtrack breathes pulse-pounding power into each leap and slash.

The Ghostrunner: Complete Edition includes everything that made Ghostrunner a smash hit at launch in 2020 and adds the refinements and post-launch content One More Level has created since then. The Project_Hel prequel DLC offers a new campaign starring a new playable character, Hel – an unstable combat android driven by seething hatred, with distinct moves that set her apart from the original protagonist Jack.

Master Ghostrunner: Complete Edition’s movement and combat in post-launch game modes. Speed through Killrun, defeating enemies along the way to add precious seconds to the timer. Overcome an onslaught of attackers with help from randomized upgrades in the roguelike Wave Mode. Assist Mode provides optionable boons like shorter ability cooldowns, slower gameplay, and an extra life. Take the perfect snapshot with Photo Mode. 

Cut down cyborgs in style with intricate katana and glove sets previously released as cosmetic DLC packs. Strike fear in the hearts of opponents with the Halloween Pack, feel festive with the Winter Pack, embrace the glitzy side of cyberpunk with the Neon Pack, or take inspiration from Confucian constant virtues with the Metal Ox Pack.

Ghostrunner is published by H2 Interactive for Nintendo Switch and PlayStation in Asia.
