COMPANY OF HEROES 3 – DESTRUCTION DEV DIARY

Sydney, Australia – 16^th June 2022: Get ready for an entirely new level of destruction in Company of Heroes 3. In our latest look at the explosive RTS, Relic explores its brand-new destruction system, which allows players to topple bell towers, shatter buildings, and dramatically alter the landscape of war on a scale never before seen in the genre.

Check out the new Developer Diary here.

“I have a feeling there will be many people who will end up playing, and they will press tactical pause just to turn the screen a little bit to take advantage of seeing all the destruction and all of its glory in that one frame,” says Jason Brackman, Principal Technical Artist at Relic.

Just how deep does environmental destruction go in Company of Heroes 3? Falling debris and collapsing buildings can now actually spell doom for nearby units. However, toppled buildings can also provide new tactical advantages, allowing players to carve out a new piece of cover. Players can even pre-destroy a map with tactical bombing runs, further altering your strategy and options on the battlefield.

Company of Heroes 3 is 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!

World of Warships and World of Warships: Legends celebrate Summer with a boatload of new content

• The world’s biggest naval MMO across PC and console releases its shipment of new content for June
• Convoy battles reappear alongside a new map of the Faroe Islands and a new batch of TRANSFORMERS content also head to World of Warships on PC
• Pan-European destroyers and the Lucky Six campaign lead the update for World of Warships: Legends on Xbox and PlayStation

 16June – World of Warships and World of Warships: Legends, has this week launched content-packed updates for their two-leading naval MMOs. World of Warships on PC reintroduces an updated Convoy battle mode, alongside a new player-selected map of the Faroe Islands, as well as the third instalment of their brand collaboration with Hasbro’s TRANSFORMERS. On top of this, console players on World of Warships: Legends can research Pan-European destroyers as they enter the tech tree and try their luck in a new five-week, 100-milestone Lucky Six campaign.

Pan-European and Premium American ships in World of Warships: Legends

Kicking of Legends’ June update is the emergence of Pan-European destroyers from Early Access as they drop anchor into the tech tree, with the newly introduced Tier VII Östergötland. Now available for research, this line of ships sports swift torpedoes and impressive guns.

With the new five-week, 100 milestone Lucky Six campaign, players with active admiralty backing have the opportunity to obtain the Tier VII Fletcher-class destroyer Black with rapidly-reloading guns, or the Tier V aircraft carrier Independence with heavy-hitting dive and torpedo bombers.

Closing out World of Warships: Legends June update is a new mission and limited-time Bureau project in celebration of Independence Day. The Windroses are back with the Tier IV to Legendary American ships to receive special bonuses as well as a mission to obtain the Tier III Premium battleship South Carolina. The Bureau project Broad Stripes and Bright Stars includes a number of permanent camouflages for select destroyers in the tech-tree before building up to Star-Spangled Freedom skins for Cleveland and Baltimore. The Oklahoma, amongst other rare ships will also make their return as part of the festivities!

New map, Mode and More in World of Warships

World of Warships kicks off its newest update with a return of Update 0.10.8’s Convoy battle mode. Fought in teams of 12 with Tier VIII–X ships, two randomly distributed teams will participate in an attack-and-defend battle for  Convoys of AI-controlled cargo ships across one of six different maps.

Following a selection by players in Autumn of last year, World of Warships sees a brand-new map of the Faroe Islands introduced in this update. Available for ships in the higher ranks, fights on this new map will be set against snow-peaked mountain ranges nestled in the Faroe Islands’ steep shores.

A number of U.S. destroyer models, present since the release of the game, have been dramatically upgraded. Mahan, Benson, Fletcher and Gearing will all be revamped, with the Update 0.11.6 will bring more of these updated U.S. ships, expanding to the models of Sampson, Wickes, Clemson, Nicholas, Farragut and Sims.

Alongside the improvements to these models, visual effects throughout the game have been overhauled since the beginning of the year. This includes major improvements with HD textures and local weather effects being refined on 8 maps, as well as new effects for guns firing, depth charges detonating under water and on islands, and aircraft explosions on the decks of destroyed carriers.

Lastly, defeat your enemies in style with Hasbro’s TRANSFORMERS franchise! To commemorate the third TRANSFORMERS collaboration, World of Warships will have special content from the critically acclaimed toy line. These special camouflages were originally released only on World of Warships Legends, but now are available for PC! Such as Iowa’s Freedom Fighter skin to represent the Autobots to Bismarck’s Messenger of Oblivion for the Decepticon, it’s time to deck your ship in style. This limited-time content will be available during the update. One shall stand, one shall fall! Which will you be?

Dive into this unique multiplayer sci-fi horror experience filled with unforgettable, cinematic moments. Just remember that here you’re not a hunter. Here you are the PREY.

Nemesis: Distress puts you on a ship lost in space, where evolving Intruders rampage down corridors and rip through everything that stands in their way. Will you save the ship? Will you stay loyal to your crew? Or will you take the easy way out and board an escape pod at any cost? The possibilities are almost limitless, as each game of Nemesis: Distress will create its own cinematic sci-fi horror experience.

Watch the Nemesis: Distress Steam Early Access Launch Trailer on Awaken Realms’ YouTube channel HERE.

Get the game from Steam (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1343620/Nemesis_Distress/).

ABOUT NEMESIS: DISTRESS

Nemesis: Distress is a sci-fi horror FPP multiplayer gamev from Awaken Realms – the creators of the incredibly popular Nemesis board game that raised $4,000,000 on Kickstarter back in 2018. Nemesis became so well-known that it even made a cameo appearance in South Park!

Moreover as a result of another Kickstarter campaign for Nemesis Lockdown – a stand-alone expansion to the original game, developers gathered over $8,500,000 and at the time of launch sold over 500,000 units of both the base game and the expansion.

This outstanding success made them start working on the digital version of the game and finally led to Early Access launch of Nemesis: Distress on Steam today.

Gameplay-wise, it mixes a hidden traitor mechanic with shooter and survival elements. However, it’s NOT a shooter, as in this game, you’re not a hunter – you’re the PREY.

In Nemesis: Distress, players will progress through 40-minute scenarios while trying to survive and fulfilling their secret objective.

Choose one of the asymmetric character classes, each with special actions that come in handy in specific situations. Select the secret objective you’ll have to fulfill to win the game – these are randomly drawn out of an exciting challenge pool and include destroying the Nest, safely directing the ship to Mars, or even ensuring the death of other players. Sometimes there won’t even be a traitor, but you’ll never know who to trust!

While the implants inside your characters block any direct negative interaction (such as shooting other crewmembers), there are plenty of indirect ways to make other players’ lives harder. Setting rooms on fire, spreading false information, and closing doors right in front of their faces are just a few.

On top of that, there’s the constant threat of evolving Intruders slowly taking over the ship. While it is possible to kill them, it’s not an easy task, and there’s no benefit – other than surviving the encounter, that is.

NEMESIS: DISTRESS MAIN FEATURES

• The horror experience – Get ready for a thrilling environment where every sound and movement around the ship will keep you on the edge of your seat. There are different types of enemies, including the dangerous Adult that can one-shot you.
• Unique semi co-op – You will need to find a fine balance between collaborating with your teammates (otherwise, you won’t survive) and not trusting them fully, as some might have nasty secret objectives. This creates an interesting dynamic and adds an extra layer to the horror experience.
• Noise management – Since the alien species on the ship is blind, you’ll need to be very careful about the sounds you make. But you can also use it to your advantage – throw items to distract enemies and sneak past them… or just use a flamethrower to scare them away.
• Fresh items idea – Since Nemesis isn’t a shooter, don’t expect too many weapons. Instead, you’ll have a different “arsenal” – a noise detector, hacking tool, or good-old pipe will come in handy in various situations.

Nemesis: Distress is being developed by Awaken Realms and is now available on Steam.

Hamburg, June 16, 2022 – gamigo is asking the Envoys of anime MMO Aura Kingdom to be wary when they venture into the “Forgotten Caverns” in patch 86. They would be well advised to bring a companion along to watch their back.

Plenty of adventures await players in the latest update for Aura Kingdom including:

• Anti-Epidemic Attack: Let’s make Azuria a healthy environment and prevent the invasion of the virus!

• Prism Collection Event: The new Prism Collection Event is all about collecting as many Prism Shards as possible. This limited time event includes new and exclusive items that can only be obtained by exchanging Prism Shards with the NPC Isaac to get the ‘Prism Tears.’
• New Dungeon “Bond – Secret Grass Kingdom”: Players with a Slvl10 or higher should head to Gloomy Ridge to find this new dungeon. They need to be careful though since normal attacks don’t work there. To figure this out, Envoys need to bring a battle buddy – only the power of two gives them a chance to succeed.
• Daily Quest “Eidolon Gossip Chapter 13 – Cesela”: The Moon Goddess wants to be the lead singer of a band and the players must find out why.
• New Quest “Deity Cultural Relic”: This new Mirabelle quest requires a group of five players of at least level 25 to go to Crescent Hill to the Fame Bulletin Board to accept it. If the players are successful, they can receive the reward “Cultural Relic Lucky Pack”.
• Legendary Battle – Beast Master: Stop the powerful monsters that suddenly appear by using unique items ​ residents of the border village have. Experience the legend first-hand by challenging the Beast Master with your party of five to win the battle. The reward “Legendary Victory Treasure Chest IV” beckons!
• Navea Event – Toxic Crisis: The city of Navea is suffering from a Poisonous Worm problem and is now in quarantine! Envoy, ask Gray to take the Poisoned Villagers back to the Safe Zone. But be careful you don’t become poisoned yourself!

Two Unlikely Partners Will Journey Together and Discover the Forgotten Truth Beneath Ruin and Wreckag

Wiesbaden, Germany – 15th June 2022 – Award-winning indie publishers Assemble Entertainment and developers littleknightgames are elated to reveal today MIRA and the Legend of the Djinns, a new Metroidvania game in Assemble’s catalogue of successful indie titles. A highlight of Steam’s Guerilla Collective and showcased in the Shacknews E6 lineup, MIRA and the Legend of the Djinns showcases the remarkable world the duo journeys through, illustrated through vivid Mediterranean-inspired pixel artwork and a lulling soundtrack. Throughout their travels, they learn of the world Mira once knew and how it was consigned to oblivion. Along with the reveal, the studio has also released a trailer showcasing the title’s mix of beloved retro mechanics expertly merged with gameplay novel to the genre.

Drawing deep inspiration from Moroccan and Amazigh culture, language, and spiritual traditions, MIRA and the Legend of the Djinns is an adventure that tells the tale of Yuba, an avid treasure hunter, and a mysterious Djinn named Mira, the first Djinn discovered in generations. The two journey together across the devastated world of Fallen Amazgesh, a world of ruins, to uncover her lost memories, and in turn, what happened to her land and its people. To this end, Yuba and Mira agree to form a spiritual Bond, something no human has done outside of fabled legends.

Delivered in a classic 2D Metroidvania-style format, Mira and Yuba traverse the vast expanse of the Desert Ocean, discovering new friends and vicious foes along the way. Together, the pair will track down priceless artefacts, explore dangerous ruins, battle against mutated creatures and corrupted spirits, and come face to face with the very cause of the cataclysm that destroyed Mira’s world and conceived Yuba’s.

Key Features of MIRA and the Legend of the Djinns:

• Go With the Flow: Djinns hold power over four Primal Elements: Solar, Celestial, Infernal, and Lunar. Players are granted four different weapons to wield, each one imbued with one of the four Elements. A fluid combat style allows players to switch between weapons and elemental modes on the fly — even in the midst of combat!
• Grow the Skill Tree: Whether by progressing the story or buying them in-game, take down enemies in style with dozens of moves to unlock. Create new movesets and utilize them to kick some serious butt!
• Show Me Your Moves: Along with the classic Metroidvania abilities such as the Dash, Mira and the Legend of the Djinns features magical abilities unique to the retro genre. Many of the spells have uses outside of combat, encouraging players to try out different combos and think outside the box.
• All Good Things are Multipurpose: Throughout the game, players can discover seven different tools, each used to overcome obstacles, solve puzzles, and weaponize during combat. Certain items are more scarce; acquire these rarities by doing side quests, defeating certain enemies, and if you’re lucky, occasionally purchasing in shops.

MIRA and the Legend of the Djinns is available for wishlist on Steam, with a planned release set for 2023.

You can enjoy Daedalic Entertainment’s acclaimed strategy RPG on Nintendo’s handheld system right now!

Hamburg, Germany, June 15th, 2022 – Daedalic Entertainment is happy to announce that Blackguards 2 is releasing on Nintendo Switch today at 4pm UK / 5 pm CEST. The turn-based strategy-RPG originally launched on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, when it was praised for a superb job building over its 2014 predecessor. Filling the gap for dark and mature epic fantasy RPGs on Nintendo Switch, Blackguards 2 features a gritty storyline, alongside deep lore and strategy mechanics while pitting players against challenging enemies.

Deep in the dungeons of Aventuria, Cassia waits for her chance to break out and claim what she perceives as rightfully hers: the Shark Throne. To achieve her goal and overthrow the man that took everything from her, the young noble will have to recruit the Vanquishers of the Nine Hordes and other mercenaries. Every choice matters in this dark tale and Cassia needs all her wits about her to control the army of criminals – and lead her squad to victory or to certain death.

In Blackguards 2, the player chooses the playstyle. Front line combatants, ranged fighters or dangerous mages – up to 20 characters can join the party and head into battle. Every challenging hexfield battle needs a new strategy and the wrong spell might result in death. When every action during battle has consequences, each move has to be carefully considered. Not only do the player’s choices matter on the battlefield, but throughout the entire game. Cassia’s story is not set in stone and fateful decisions can influence the ending of the game and the fate of the squad.

Main features:

• Recruit mercenaries, find upgrades and build an indomitable army
• Find the Vanquishers of the Nine Hordes and see what has become of Takate, Naurim and Zurbaran
• A story with many twists and turns, fateful decisions and more than 20 challenging hours of playtime awaits you
• Command up to 20 characters in your party and lead them to death or glory
• Master and finish the game on many different non-linear paths
• Make decisions influencing your squad and the ending of the game
• Choose your spells, talents and skills wisely, since they dictate your strategy on the battlefield. Give priority to offensive or tactic in challenging battles
• Interact with your environment and let walls collapse or even discover new routes on your journey through Aventuria
• Lay waste to your enemies with powerful spells and abilities. But be on your guard: your foes may wield them as well

Blackguards 2 launches today on Nintendo Switch. More information is available on the Nintendo eShop.
