Sydney, Australia – 22^nd June 2022: As part of its 25^th anniversary celebration, Relic Entertainment has re-released the fan-favourite, free-to-play mini-game Armor of Heroes on Steam, which puts you in control of your very own tank in heated multiplayer firefights. It can be redeemed via https://community.companyofheroes.com/.

Armor of Heroes is a 1-4 player arcade-style game that gives you command over your very own WWII tank, and challenges you to blast your three opponents to smithereens. Armor of Heroes originally debuted in 2020 as part of SEGA’s 60^th anniversary celebration and was only available for a limited amount of time. The game features nine distinct modes, including king of the hill, last man standing, and classic deathmatch. Four equally distinct maps make sure you’ll always have a new fight on your hands. If you download Armor of Heroes during the sale window, it’s yours to keep forever.

However, there’s much more to come from the Company of Heroes franchise. We’re gearing up for Company of Heroes 3, the ultimate package of action, tactics and strategy. Take charge in the heat of real-time battle, then command as a General guiding the overall campaign where every decision matters. ​Overwhelm your opponents with new and familiar factions, units, and international Battlegroups. Command ground, air and naval forces and build supply lines to crush enemy advances on the new Dynamic Campaign Map – no two playthroughs are ever alike!

June 22, 2022 — The North Sydney Sentinels and the South Sydney Skorpions have battled their way to a spot at the World of Tanks ANZ Premier League Season Four finals, on June 25 at Fortress Melbourne to compete for a slice of the AUD$25,000 prize pool.

The World of Tanks ANZ Premier League (ANZPL) is a 5v5 competitive World of Tanks mode, featuring state-based teams, a double round robin group stage, a grassroots league in the ANZBL, and an offline LAN final to determine the best team across Australia and New Zealand.

The season four winners will walk away with cash and prizes from the total prize pool of $25,000, including $10,000 prize money, and premium swag from Noble Chairs, PC Case Gear, and HyperX. Second place winners will receive $5,000 and HyperX gear.

Kevin Zhu, World of Tanks ANZ Community Evangelist says the rivalry between the two Sydney teams have intensified across the seasons, and the South Sydney Skorpions will be looking to claim their first Grand Final victory. The team have made the playoffs in previous seasons, but this will be their first official Grand Final.

“The North Sydney Sentinels are the powerhouse of the league, having won two championships in three seasons. Kings of the competition, their dominance reigned supreme throughout season four.

“However, whilst the North Sydney Sentinels took the easier route in the upper bracket of the league; the South Sydney Skorpions traversed the long road in the consolidation final, to clash once again.

“The Sentinels are hungry for the crown, but the Skorpions are determined to topple the kings and show which team is the best in Sydney and across Australia and New Zealand,” said Kevin.

World of Tanks ANZ Premier League Season Four finals will be held at Fortress Melbourne on Saturday 25 June, from 6.30pm – 11.30pm.

Jake Truman, World of Tanks Associate Producer, says this is the first year they are offering paid ticketed events, with the goal of adding to the fundraising efforts for GameOn Cancer.

“We recently held two livestreams to raise funds for cancer research and are getting close to our goal of $10,000. For every paid ticket purchased, we will donate $10 to GameOn Cancer.”

“The finals will be an awesome night of exhibitions, giveaways, celebrations, exclusive menu items and of course some of the best World of Tanks Pro Gaming, this side of the equator,” said Jake.

To attend the World of Tanks ANZ Premier League Season Four finals at Fortress Melbourne, visit https://tiny.cc/wotgf. Entry is free and there are an additional two paid options, offering reserved seating in The Alienware Arena, drinks, A Hot Tog, a code for three in-game items and access to the bar tab. $10 from every paid ticket will be donated to GameOn Cancer.

Bethesda ANZ has recruited the talents of Australian controller customiser, We Are Robots, to celebrate the launch of The Elder Scrolls Online: High Isle on consoles. This new chapter brings the debut of the Systres Archipelago, taking adventurers through the never before seen High Rock and Amenos. During the Legacy of the Bretons year-long adventure players will recruit new companions and face off against a secret order of knights, led by the mysterious Ascendant Lord.

The Ascendant Lord’s armour is the inspiration for the transformation of an Xbox Series S console (512GB), Xbox Wireless Controller, and Xbox Stereo Headset. This year’s antagonist’s armour matches his dark and mysterious demeanour, the perfect mix of ornate High Isle Breton style and menacing darkness. The sigil of The Order, a sign of their goal of a crownless utopia for Tamriel, adorns both the Xbox Wireless Controller and Xbox Series S console. On both units, the sigil is surrounded by the ornate lines and decoration of his dark steel armour.

The Xbox Stereo Headset caps off this ornamental collection with The Elder Scrolls Online’s ouroboros logo, symbolising the three factions meeting for peace talks in this new chapter. The design is 3D printed and moulded, showcasing each part of the logo in unparalleled detail.

Several of these extremely limited-edition Xbox Series S console (512GB), Xbox Wireless Controller, and Xbox Stereo Headset packs will be available through giveaways in ANZ. The Elder Scrolls Online fans should stay tuned to local social media channels, including Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, to learn how to secure one of these legendary prizes for themselves.

Delve into the history and culture of a noble chivalric people, explore a stunning never-before-seen location, and uncover a mysterious new threat in The Elder Scrolls Online: High Isle and Legacy of the Bretons year-long adventure. The Elder Scrolls Online: High Isle is out now for PC/Mac, Xbox and PlayStation consoles. For more information visit www.elderscrollsonline.com.

Players can experience the chaos of the Wonderlands, debuting alongside all post-launch content like the brand new DLC: Molten Mirrors

Today, 2K and Gearbox Software announced that Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands® is releasing at 3:00 a.m. AEST on June 24, 2022, on Steam, where it has consistently been one of the most wishlisted titles. Since launching on other platforms earlier this year, critics and fans around the world have been enamoured with the delightful chaos from Tiny Tina’s unpredictable mind. With crossplay between PlayStation®5 (PS5™), PlayStation®4 (PS4™), Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, the Epic Games Store and now Steam, even more players can join in on the adventure together.

“Gearbox is all about one-of-a-kind entertainment experiences – with Wonderlands that meant creating a new take on a familiar genre,” said Randy Pitchford, founder of the Gearbox Entertainment Company. “Steam players are in for one heck of an adventure as they explore Tina’s off-the-walls imagination, and crossplay gives our fans even more ways to battle the Dragon Lord, no matter what platform they game on.”

For a limited time, Steam players will be able to pick up the game for a special Steam launch price*, and get the Golden Hero Armor Pack until July 7, 2022.**

On Steam, players will have the choice between the Standard Edition or the Chaotic Great Edition. The latter comes with the Dragon Lord Pack of bonus content, as well as the Season Pass, which includes an extra playable class being released in a future update, the Butt Stallion cosmetic pack, and all four Mirrors of Mystery DLCs.

Mirrors of Mystery DLCs provide new ways to hunt for loot and cosmetics on your way to defeating the Dragon Lord, with challenging new dungeons such as Coiled Captors, Glutton’s Gamble, and the brand new Molten Mirrors, releasing on June 24 on all platforms, including Steam.

In Molten Mirrors, players will battle Fyodor the Soul Warden, who lords over his horde of lost souls deep within his mountain stronghold. In order to break their chains, players need to defeat Fyodor’s murderous mechanized defences, including terror-powered turrets, blazing furnaces, and bone-crushing hammers, all while looting for new weapons, gear, and cosmetic items. Additional details about Molten Mirrors are available on the game’s official website.

For owners of the Chaotic Great Edition or Season Pass, the fourth Mirror of Mystery DLC releasing later this year will also feature a brand-new playable class called the Blightcaller.**** This shamanic elementalist channels spirits and summons storms to wear down foes with poison and elemental damage. As the seventh class to be introduced to Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands, the Blightcaller will bring even more player customization by further expanding the deep multiclass system in the game.

For more information about the game’s Steam release, check out the game’s official website. Note, players’ save data can be transferred between the Steam and Epic PC platforms but will need to be moved manually. By doing so, players run the risk of potentially losing save files, so we strongly recommend making a backup copy before attempting any manual transfers. Detailed instructions will be available on support.2k.com in time for the Steam release.

Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands previously launched on March 25, 2022, across Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PS5, PS4, and the Epic Games Store.

Developed by Gearbox Software, Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands is rated “M” by the OFLC. For more information on Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands, please visit playwonderlands.com and follow @PlayWonderlands on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.

1.0 Version Debuts Plethora of Never Before Seen Content Simultaneously to PlayStation 5|4, Xbox One, Series X|S, Nintendo Switch and PC

ST. PETERSBURG, Russia — June 21, 2022 — Despot’s Game: Dystopian Army Builder, the roguelike tactical auto-battler from developer Konfa Games and publisher tinyBuild where commanders build their squad of puny humans into a legion of wizards, ninjas, and dozens of other heroes while leading them through a strange post-apocalyptic labyrinth, exits Steam Early Access to 1.0 release on PlayStation 5|4, Xbox One, Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC this summer.

The nefarious d’Spot has spoken–Despot’s Game soon leaves Early Access to join the console and PC ranks with revamped mechanics, new quests, enemies, mutations, and an expanded soundtrack. Terrorizing the naked and memory-less humans as they try to escape an endless maze-like complex has never been so fun.

Equip the unarmed masses with one of 50 weapons ranging from conventional swords and guns to ridiculous apparatuses like stale pretzels throwers, magical rabbits-in-a-hat, and damage-soaking refrigerators. Make use of 10 human classes including throwers, mages, and cultists, building up their ranks and diversifying armaments to unlock power-ups that aid in battles.

Keep the ranks well-fed and deploy them strategically for a better chance at survival. While mages and shooters provide support with long-range attacks, fighters sporting Rocky’s iconic boxing gloves and tanks with protective periodic tables should take the front lines for hands-on combat and protection.

Stack mutations to strengthen forces, like invoking “Glory to Satan” to sacrifice a newcomer and summon an eldritch tentacle that deals massive damage to foes. Smash through 60 types of monsters with destructive abilities to survive these chaotic killing games. From man-eating cabbages and killer robots to necromancers joined by vicious giant skeletons ready to drop humans into black portals, many perils await.

Today, players can enjoy Despot’s Game for the first time on consoles via an Xbox demo featuring the first levels of the Early Access dungeons. Alongside the 1.0 release, the game also gains a new mode focused on an enhanced multiplayer experience.

“Over the past months, we really listened to our community to learn what would make Despot’s Game even greater,” said Nikolay Kuznetsov, Game Creator, Konfa Games. “From that came exciting revamped mechanics to better the player experience and a ton of new content that we are proud to release across all consoles and mobile. Now, there’s no more excuse to stay out of Despot’s Game’s chaotic madness!”

Despot’s Game: Dystopian Army Builder is available now on Steam Early Access for Windows PC for USD $14.99 / EUR €14.99. It supports English, Russian, Brazilian Portuguese, French, Italian, German, Spanish (Spain), Japanese, Korean, and Simplified Chinese languages.
