gamigo’s military strategy game introduces the biggest challenge ever – and great prizes as reward
Hamburg, July 12, 2022 –gamigo announces that between July 13 and August 17, 2022, it’s time for all Commanders of the military strategy game Desert Operations to face their destiny and engrave their names into the records of history. The new LEGACY server offers them a possibility to prove who is the most proficient in the art of war – the best Commander of them all.
Commanders from all countries and regions will have the unique opportunity to participate in the LEGACY server, a one-of-a-kind experience. LEGACY will keep even the most experienced Commander on their toes. Commanders may know the strategies of their own region, and their own server, but are they up to the task of taking on a legion of other Commanders? Will they be courageous and bold enough to dominate and extend their LEGACY through the ages?
But that’s not all, for the first time, there will be a number of exciting rewards for the first month of play. The contest will run from July 13 to August 17, and the most cunning and resourceful Commander will win the first prize, a Dell Inspiron 15 Laptop Carbon Black.
But even if a Commander should fail to come out on top in this biggest challenge ever in Desert Operations, they can still expect hefty rewards in diamonds and items.
If Commanders are willing to accept this challenge, this could be the first of many on the LEGACY server. Therefore, they should join the LEGACY server now and show the world who is the one and true Commander of them all.

Tuesday, 12 July 2022 – Team17 and Small Impact Games have today announced that upcoming PvPvE looter shooter Marauderswill hold a closed PC beta test via Steam from 20-25th July, available to all pre-orders.
Following a successful closed alpha test earlier in the year, the Marauders closed beta will let players loose with a barrage of new content including two new raid locations: the ‘Terraformer’ – a newly abandoned agricultural hub built on top of an asteroid shard, and the ‘Merchant Ship’ – an expansive, breach-able frigate perfect for intimate and long-range firefights. The beta will also introduce two additional firearms: the Heavy Thompson and the Klobb Machine Pistol; alongside the ‘Scrap Bomb’ – a hand-held heavy explosive device; numerous quality-of-life improvements such a ‘Quick Loot’ option and foldable bags for economic inventory management; further cosmetic choices and audio effects, and many more surprises for players to uncover themselves.
Those looking to join the closed beta can pre-order the game now to receive 10% off their purchase and immediate access when it launches next week. All pre-order purchases will also automatically receive the Space Pirate cosmetic pack, which will be available when Marauders launches into Steam Early Access and Game Preview via PC Game Pass later this year.
Players interested in getting hands-on with Marauders before the beta test can head to TwitchCon Amsterdam this weekend, where the game will be playable at the Team17 booth and during the exclusive ‘Battle for the Void’ LAN event on 17th July.
A brand-new beta announcement trailer is ready to breach and clear:

During each match, they’ll be able to breach hostile spaceships; salvage valuable cargo, including an arsenal of iconic weapons from the last century; and do battle with other players and AI opponents in tense PvPvE combat; all before making their escape.
Marauders Key Features
Immersive sci-fi setting: Discover a gritty dieselpunk world where Earth is on the brink of collapse and survival relies on looting and shooting among the stars
Raid, loot, escape: Plunder deep-space battlegrounds and embark on daring raids for troves of valuable loot, then get out alive to claim your spoils and turn a healthy profit
Tense first-person combat: Work alone or with up to three other players to survive intense combat encounters with realistic bullet simulation against enemy teams and AI opponents
Persistent gear and XP: Keep your best gear match-to-match and tweak your favourite weapons with mods while using XP to unlock new items and increase your chances of survival

Kingston Releases Latest Hardware-encrypted Storage Solutions and Versatile USB Drives for Mainstream and Enterprise Users
IronKey Vault Privacy 50 (VP50) and IronKey Vault Privacy 80 External SSD (VP80ES) in the encrypted lineup for users looking for data security and protection
Kingston DataTraveler® microDuo™ 3C and Kingston DataTraveler® Micro USB Flash Drive for additional storage requirements to save memories and important data
Australia – July 12 2022 –Taking ahead its legacy of providing best in class portable storage solutions, Kingston Technology, a world leader in memory products and technology solutions, today announced the release the two latest products in its encrypted lineup, IronKey Vault Privacy 80 External SSD (VP80ES) and IronKey Vault Privacy 50 (VP50), perfect for enterprise users and content creators looking for data security. Kingston also expanded its DataTraveler® range by adding Kingston DataTraveler® microDuo™ 3C (DTDUO3CG3) and DataTraveler® Micro (DTMC3G2) USB Flash Drives, to provide mainstream users additional storage for their important files and memories.
Hardware-encrypted Storage Products for Data Security and Protection
Kinston IronKey Vault Privacy 80 External SSD (VP80ES) marks Kingston’s first innovative OS-independent external SSD with touchscreen and hardware-encryption for data protection. Using IronKey VP80ES is as innate as unlocking a smartphone and simple drag & drop file transfers. Featuring an intuitive color touchscreen and FIPS 197 certified with XTS-AES 256-bit encryption, the drive is designed to protect data while also being user-friendly, ideal to safeguard against Brute Force attacks and BadUSB with digitally signed firmware for users from small-to-medium businesses (SMB) to content creators. Its military-grade security measures make it greatly superior over using the internet and Cloud services for securing important company information, documents, or high-res images and videos.
Along with its ease of use and hardware encryption, VP80ES offers additional features for data protection, like Multi-Password (Admin/User) Option with PIN/Passphrase modes and Configurable Password Rules. With Admin option, choose between numeric PIN or Passphrase modes, set Configurable Password Rules, or enable extended security options like maximum number of shared password attempts, minimum password length of 6-64 characters, alphanumeric password rules, auto-timeout to lock drive, randomize touch-screen layout and Secure-Erase to ensure maximum protection of your important files. The Admin password can be used to restore data and access should the User password be forgotten. For additional peace of mind, VP80ES’ Brute Force attack protection crypto-erases the drive if the Admin and User passwords are entered incorrectly 15 times1 in a row by default.
The external SSD is bundled with a neoprene travel case and two USB 3.2 Gen 1 adapter cables to easily connect to USB Type-C®2 or Type-A supporting computers and other devices, making it the perfect companion that enables portable productivity and convenience when you need secured data and content on-the-go.
The new encrypted USB drive, IronKey Vault Privacy 50 (VP50) comes with FIPS 197 certification and AES 256-bit hardware-encryption in XTS mode for data security. VP50 supports Admin, User, and One-Time Recovery passwords with Complex or Passphrase modes, and this multi-password option enhances the ability to recover access to data on the drive should one of the passwords be forgotten. The new passphrase mode gives users the ability to have a numeric PIN, sentence, list of words, or even lyrics from 10 to 64 characters long that’s unique, yet memorable to them.
Admin can also enable a User and a One-Time Recovery password or reset the User password to restore data access. In addition, VP50 protects against Brute Force attacks by locking out User or One-Time Recovery passwords upon 10 invalid entries in a row and crypto-erases the drive if the Admin password is entered incorrectly 10 times in a row. So, while data is lost, there’s no fear of a breach.
VP50 also protects against potential malware on untrusted systems, by both Admin and User setting Read-Only mode to write-protect the drive; additionally, the built-in virtual keyboard shields passwords from keyloggers or screen-loggers. Organizations can customize and configure VP50 with a Product ID (PID) for integration with standard Endpoint Management software to meet corporate IT and cybersecurity requirement through Kingston’s Customization Program. Small and Medium Businesses can take advantage of the Admin role to locally manage their drives, e.g. use Admin to configure or reset employee User or One-Time Recovery passwords, recover data access on locked drives, and comply with laws and regulations when forensics are required. VP50 is encrypted storage under the user’s physical control, making it superior to using the internet and Cloud services to safeguard important data.
New DataTraveler® USB Drives for Enhanced Data Storage Mobility
For mobile workers with various devices on hand, DataTraveler® microDuo™ 3C (DTDUO3CG3) offers dual interface that works with both newer USB Type-C®2 and traditional USB Type-A ports, while providing up to 256GB3 of extra storage. The eye-catching form factor offers convenient plug and play connectivity, with USB 3.2 Gen 1 speeds of up to 200MB/s read4, allowing users to transfer files quickly between their smart phones, tablets, and computers. Whether it is for on-the-go (OTG5) work, travel or just out capturing the moments, the DT microDuo 3C is the perfect compact companion to backup and store more.
For those looking for a sleek and modern device to store and move their files, DataTraveler® Micro (DTMC3G2) is an ultra-small and lightweight USB drive, designed for convenient plug-and-stay storage that’s compatible with computers, printers, gaming consoles and more. It delivers USB 3.2 Gen 1 speeds up to 200MB/s read6 and up to 256GB3 capacities to quickly transfer and store large files such as movies, music, games and photos. DT Micro incorporates a low-profile design with premium metal casing and built-in key loop to leave in USB ports without interference.
“As more and more people continue to work from home and outside of company firewalls, we want to provide products of user-friendly military-grade security for our customers as well as small and medium businesses to complement our existing encrypted solutions,” said Kingston. “We also want to empower our users with increased data storage mobility, and we believe the two new DataTraveler USB drives will give ease of carrying important data and memories anytime, anywhere.”

A new branch of Tier III-X battlecruisers sail into the game, alongside a limited time Titans of Industry event, the second wave of refurbished U.S. destroyer models and changes to in-game economy, AI and user interfaces.
AUSTIN, TEXAS (July 11, 2022) — Wargaming, publisher and developer of the naval multiplayer free-to-play game World of Warships, is introducing its newest update, bringing with it a barrage of new British battlecruisers to Early Access, more improvements to U.S. destroyers models and a new limited time event. In addition to all this new content, Update 0.11.6 also sees a number of changes to in-game economy and the AI for bot ships, as well as improvements to the user interface.
Check out the video overview here.
New British Battlecruisers Drop Anchor Kicking off this update is an entirely new branch of Tier III to Tier X British battlecruisers arriving into Early Access. This dynamic range features ships equipped with powerful torpedoes and Repair Party consumable that helps regenerate HP lost in battle. From the iconic and historic Tier III Indefatigable and the Tier VI Renown as well as five new project ships with Tier VII Rooke, Tier VIII Hawke, Tier IX Duncan, Tier X St. Vincent, and Premium Tier VII Collingwood – several of which are accompanied with their own special camouflages. These ships are also equipped to take advantage of a wide array of consumables throughout the tiers, starting with Engine Boost at Tier V, all the way up to Defensive AA Fire at Tier VI and Specialized repair teams at Tier IX.
The Second Wave of U.S. Destroyer Models Changes Following the first instalment of U.S. destroyer model improvements that occurred in the previous update, an additional number of these ships are seeing revamps across the board. With adjustments to defense composition, HP distribution and the positioning of torpedo tubes and battery guns; Sims, Sims B, Sampson, Wickes, Clemson, Nicholas, and Farragut are all seeing a number of upgrades.
Titans of Industry Event Offers Unique Rewards A new timed event that comes as part of this update alongside a newly decorated London port is the “Titans of Industry” event, similar to “Aircraft Bureaus Rivalry,” “Battle of the Beasts” and “Clash of Courage” events that have come before. In “Titans of Industry” players choose between three British dockyards – Chatham, Elswick and Clydebank to support, with each yielding a different reward, a special commander, alongside British tokens that can be exchanged for several rewards including ships available in Early Access and permanent camouflages.
AI Updates, Economy, and Interface Changes Update 0.11.6 also sees refinements to AI of bots in the game, with improvements to movement and firing capabilities, as well as ability to use consumables in Training Battles. This update also kicks off an overhaul to how the in-game economy functions, simplifying management of economic bonuses and inventory display, alongside the separation of economic bonuses and camouflages from one another, allowing players to mount the camouflage they like, with the economic bonuses they prefer.
The interface also sees several changes, with containers now grouped by type and with information available about possible in-game items, and Spectator Mode interface after the sinking of the player sees enhancements alongside updates for the hotkeys and camera control hints.
