Mission Based Game Where Stealth, Intel Gathering and a Steady Nerve To Save Lives are All in A Day’s Work

Warsaw, Poland, June 16th 2022 – Polish independent developer Bnayat Games S.A today announced Shockwave: Land of the Blind, a first person immersive bomb disposal game about the high pressures of saving lives under extraordinary circumstances is coming to Steam for PC in early 2023.

Set in modern-day Syria, Shockwave: Land of the Blind tells the story of Jerome Kowalsky, an ex-military Sapper now tasked with a peacekeeping force as a contract bomb defusal expert. Jerome is accompanying an emissary heading to post-war Aleppo, Syria to save the lives of a community living a precarious existence in the ruins of a city devastated by conflict, lawlessness and crime. As a highly experienced sapper Jerome finds himself pitted against the destructive genius of a determined bombmaker, who is pitting his own wits, knowledge and expertise in the ultimate face off.

Shockwave: Land of the Blind puts a strong focus on stealth and intel gathering in missions that are multi-path and multi-layered, there’s no hand holding here or quest markers, no mini map or magical radar to expose the threat, it’s your knowledge and skillful resolve and how you adapt to the crisis wearing a full Advanced Bomb Suit designed to protect you from fragmentation, blast overpressure, impact, heat, and flame. In its strive for authenticity, developer Bnayat Games S.A worked closely with former members and world leading IED experts from GROM, a Polish Special Forces Military unit well versed in modern day warfare and tactical countermeasures.

“We’re excited to officially reveal the nerve shredding experience of what it takes to be a bomb disposal specialist working under extremely dangerous conditions. It’s our goal to provide players with a narrative driven, thought provoking and technically superior first person military game about the individuals who undertake one of most difficult jobs on the planet in their effort to save life” Said Jamal Bnayat, CEO of Bnayat Games S.A.

“Shockwave: Land of the Blind is also a story that conveys a very revealing journey where experiences are personal and intimate, and how spiritual revelation and positive faith grants Jerome the resolve to save lives” he adds.

Missions will require careful planning – not to mention equipping the correct tools and gear you’ll need to eliminate the bombers threat. The volume and weight of your inventory is limited, so you’ll need to choose your gear wisely. Need to extract something too dangerous to disarm on-site? Use the hook-and-line and the sapper robot. Landmines? Take a metal detector or ground radar. The location is expendable? Water charges will prove the most efficient.

As a highly trained Sapper you’ll need to disarm a range of different explosive devices – from simple improvised charges, through to more complex, procedurally generated IEDs and immense hand-crafted puzzles with a racing countdown.

Bomb disposal is a job where nerves of steel and a careful stealthy approach is necessary, keeping a low profile is essential so as not to antagonize the locals; staying out of sight of armed militia elavates your chances of mission success. As a bomb disposal expert you are a priority target in the area and the enemy will do everything to hunt you down.

The pressure is on and the clock is ticking.

Music to my undead ears

Skövde, Sweden – 16th June, 2022 – Stunlock Studios today have published the new ‘Songs of Vardoran’ trailer, a showcase of the music set to the backdrop of the areas in V Rising and the moods they evoke. In their latest Dev blog, community manager Jeremy Fielding interviews Aleksandria Migova, composer behind the music of V Rising. The atmosphere of V Rising has been receiving heaps of praise from players and one of the big contributing factors is the music, providing a ‘forsaken, mysterious and soul-touching’ ambiance to the vampiric actions happening within Vardoran. Aleksandria gives some insight into her process when creating such an important world building aspect to V Rising:

“I used a lot of strings, woodwinds, ambient soundscapes, and warm evolving string phrases. One of the main and returning instruments of the album is a sampled ‘Huberman’ Stradivari violin from the year 1713. Even if the music is a modern production, I really wanted to have fragments of old, almost ancient-sounding instruments in the mix, communicating the rich and mysterious history of Vardoran.”

Publisher Ziggurat Interactive and Developer Poppy Works Resurrects this Genre-Defining Franchise with a Prequel to the 1999 Game

DENVER, COLORADO (June 16, 2022) — Ziggurat Interactive, publisher of multiplatform retro and modern games, breathes new life into a top-selling title of the Dreamcast era in the form of Slave Zero X, an exciting new action title set in the same world of the original Slave Zero (1999). The all-new game, coming to PC and consoles, features 2D side-scrolling action where players string together brutal combos while traversing a dangerous 2.5D world.

“We’re excited to take the wraps off Slave Zero X,” said Michael Devine, SVP of Business Development. “The game is a fantastic mix of fast-action, combo-heavy fighting set to a backdrop invoking a sinister mood, and we can’t wait to show off more of it in the coming months.”

In development by Poppy Works and Ziggurat Interactive, Slave Zero X will bring a whole new experience to fans of the original game. In Slave Zero X, players will don a death-dealing biosuit and do battle against the forces of the evil SovKhan. The game will feature multiple gameplay modes, and a variety of futuristic dystopian urban levels to battle through.

This new entry in the franchise is based on the concept drawings for the 1999 game. With a biopunk flare and H.R Giger influence, the original vision for Slave Zero couldn’t come to fruition due to budget and development time. Now, Poppyworks with Ziggurat Interactive, bring that original vision to life in this fast-paced, hard-hitting, character action game in the unforgettable dystopian world of Slave Zero X.

Features of Slave Zero X include:

• Multiple Gameplay Modes: Play through the story, build your combo-crushing skills in training mode, or test your might in the post-story Bloody Palace Mode 
• Side-Scrolling Hack and Slash: Chain together lethal attack combos with your sword and an array of explosive ordinance while leaping, sprinting, and flipping your way through a grim biopunk world 
• Stunning Set Pieces: Conquer mini-bosses and climactic archvillains in unforgettable combat sequences 
• Action-Packed Heroic Missions: Battle your way through massive levels, mazes, and boss-rushes in a dynamic 2.5D world 
• Epic and Dynamic Ambiance: Immerse yourself in a world of heavy Drum ‘n Bass and industrial tracks that get more intense as the action heats up

Available to Wishlist now on Steam at https://store.steampowered.com/app/1903910/Slave_Zero_X/

Six Sides, Eight Corners, and Ten Years: Toxic Games’ Classic Returns One Decade On in Q.U.B.E. 10th Anniversary

Re-envisioning of Brain-Twisting First-Person Puzzler Coming This Summer

Watch the brand new announcement trailer here!

Bristol, United Kingdom – Thursday 16th June, 2022: One decade after its debut, Toxic Games is excited to announce it’s working on a fresh version of Q.U.B.E., the celebrated brain-twisting first-person puzzler that first launched back in 2012.

Appropriately titled Q.U.B.E. 10th Anniversary, this brand new release will bring refined visuals and, in some places, completely redesigned and revised sections to all of the content that launched in both the original release, and 2014’s Q.U.B.E: Director’s Cut – which itself added a completely new story by award-winning writer Rob Yescombe. 

Q.U.B.E. 10th Anniversary will also include new content, including an entirely brand new chapter called Sector 8, featuring an additional 4-6 hours of gameplay unlocked after the main campaign has been completed. 

All in all, Q.U.B.E. 10th Anniversary is set to serve as the ultimate celebration of Q.U.B.E.’s ten-year run, and will also mark the first time the franchise has appeared on the latest consoles, launching on Steam, Epic Games Store, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch this Summer. It’s debut will coincide nicely with the launch of 2018’s follow-up Q.U.B.E. 2, which is making the leap from PC to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S for the first time in the game’s history.

“We’ve built Q.U.B.E. 10th Anniversary entirely from scratch,” says Dave Hall, Creative Director. “We didn’t just want to paint on some prettier visuals to the game – we wanted to completely reimagine Q.U.B.E.’s world and offer fans, new and old, a fittingly significant improvement in visual quality. We’ve also listened to the amazing feedback we’ve had over the course of the last ten years to fix some of the puzzles we found just didn’t work as we’d intended, as well as adding a completely new chapter, Sector 8. We can’t wait to see what people make of it all.”

Q.U.B.E. 10th Anniversary will feature:

• Q.U.B.E. – The original 2012 version of the game with improved visuals, new puzzles and gameplay tweaks from player feedback
• Q.U.B.E. Director’s Cut – The 2014 version of the game with a voice-over narrative and revised soundtrack
• Sector 8 – A whole new chapter to the game, unlocked after completing the campaign. This provides 4-6 hours of brand new puzzle gameplay
• Fresh visuals, with the game entirely rebuilt from the ground up
• Brand New Developer Commentary – The dev team reminisces about how they made the game
• Assorted Extras – Screenshots, concept art, fully playable soundtracks in the menus, and other trinkets from the making of the game.

Q.U.B.E. 10th Anniversary will launch on Steam, Epic Games Store, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch this Summer.

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?
