MotoGP Is Back, Adding New Amazing Contents and Features For Both Newcomers and Core Gamers

MotoGPIs Back, Adding New Amazing Contents and Features For Both Newcomers and Core Gamers

The greatest edition of the MotoGP franchise is here

Sydney, Australia, February 24, 2022 – Milestone and Dorna Sports S.L. are proud to announce MotoGP™22, the next chapter of the celebrated two-wheel racing simulation game. Coming to PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch™ and Steam, MotoGP™22 is set to launch on April 21st, 2022.

MotoGP™22 continues the great legacy of the franchise, adding amazing new features to the game. (NINE) Season 2009 is a brand-new mode to re-live one of the most incredible seasons in the MotoGP™ history. Players will enjoy a real docu-film narrated by Mark Neale, director of the best MotoGP™ documentaries, with more than 50 minutes of original footage from the 2009 Season. But players won’t just witness history, they will be part of it too! In fact, the fate of the race will be in the player’s hands thanks to dedicated challenges to live again and play the most iconic moments. Players will find themselves in the boots of legendary riders such as Rossi, Pedrosa, Stoner and Lorenzo, trying to replicate history!

This year, MotoGP™22 also added new features dedicated to the newcomers, who are not familiar with the series, and to those who simply want to improve their style and master the gameplay mechanics. With the Revised Tutorial and the new MotoGP™ Academy, now everyone can become a champion.

The Revised Tutorial is a series of short gameplay sessions with custom rules, to help new players to understand the basics of the game and feel confident on the bike. The new MotoGP™ Academy will teach how to improve and perfect their riding style to be faster on every track, through specific challenges focused on electronics, tyre consumption, brakes temperature and core differences between the three main categories.

On top of that, the Adaptive Difficulty System will help players through in-game pop-up messages, suggesting how to adapt and modify the difficulty level based on their skills. For example, the game could recommend lowering the difficulty if players don’t complete specific challenges or enable some helps in case of too many falls, or even suggest playing the tutorial dedicated to the tire consumption in case they finished a race with tyres in bad conditions. These hints will appear at the end of the race and players are free to follow these suggestions or not.

MotoGP™22 is also enhanced in every aspect. For those who are looking for a true next generation experience, here’s what the game has to offer:

  • A level of realism never seen before: new face animations, improved 3D characters and pits
  • Ride Height Device: players will be able to manually manage the locking mechanism of the RHD and control the compression of the bike’s suspensions
  • Enhanced tracks: surfaces have been improved to have a better rideability
  • Improved Suspension system: refined for a better feeling when passing over curbs
  • Tyres and Brakes temperatures are now affected by the slipstream, both for players and AI
  • Tyre deformation: a more realistic tyre behaviour making the experience even closer to reality

Bigger, sharper, faster!

MotoGP™22 includes also the full 2022 season with all the official content, including 120+ official riders and 20+ official circuits. Additionally, 70+ Historic Riders and bikes are available to bring back all the emotions of MotoGP™ legends. 

The Managerial Career is back, allowing players to create their own team or join a real one managing every aspect of the strategy, from Bike Development to the dedicated staff that will support the rider. Players can also customize the season itself, choosing which Grand Prix they want to play from a different set of calendars.

And for the first time in the series, MotoGP™22 features the highly anticipated 2-player local split-screen*, online multiplayer* andcross-play through consoles of the same family.

MotoGP™22 will be released on April 21st, 2022 on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5**, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S**, Nintendo Switch and Steam.

**Free upgrade and Smart Delivery are supported

*Split-screen and online multiplayer not supported on Nintendo Switch

White Plains, NY – February 23, 2022 – ROCCAT, Turtle Beach’s (Nasdaq: HEAR) award-winning PC gaming peripheral brand, today proudly debuted the all-new Kone XP PC gaming mouse. ROCCAT’s first-ever product, the original Kone, launched in 2007 and became a best-selling PC gaming mouse thanks to its superior ergonomics. The new Kone XP is the culmination of 15 years of research and development to produce an industry-leading multi-purpose gaming mouse. The Kone XP improves upon its predecessors in every way, with meticulously perfected ergonomics and groundbreaking 3D RGB lighting, plus ROCCAT’s Owl-Eye 19K DPI optical sensor, and ridiculously fast Titan Optical Switches. With 15 buttons and 29 assignable functions, ROCCAT’s Kone XP is one of the most customizable and configurable PC gaming mice available, and fans can pre-order today for a MSRP of $89.99 at www.roccat.com and participating retailers worldwide. Kone XPlaunches on March 29, 2022.

“We designed Kone XP to be the perfect-sized mouse with stunning 3D RGB lighting, a multitude of customizable buttons, and our latest tech so PC gamers can win any PC game with style and confidence,” said René Korte, ROCCAT Founder and General Manager for PC Peripherals at Turtle Beach. “We spend an obscene amount of time obsessing over the size and shape of our Kone mice. Kone XP is the spiritual successor to the Kone AIMO Remastered which was one of the best-selling mice in Germany in 2021. Its ergonomics and multi-button layout make it a great choice for any game, but the Kone XP’s comfort and customization options make it a great hybrid mouse perfect for your work or home office, getting schoolwork done, content creation, and more.”

Fans of the Kone AIMO Remastered, along with PC gamers who play a variety of games across different genres, will love the Kone XP’s multi-button design combined with the refined ergonomics, reduced weight, and overall comfort of ROCCAT’s iconic Kone shape. ROCCAT is also once again redefining RGB lighting with the Kone XP’s impressive 22 LED lights and transparent shell, and through the revolutionary 4K Krystal Wheel that diffuses the RGB lighting though its smoky transparent design to create a 3D lighting effect. The 4D Krystal Wheel also adds left and right lateral inputs to the standard vertical click and scroll functionality, all delivered with ROCCAT’s signature tactile feel. 

The Kone XP has more buttons than any other mouse in this price range. It features 15 buttons, and thanks to ROCCAT’s Easy-Shift[+]™ technology there are 29 possible button functions – ideal for strategy games and MMOs like the just launched Lost Ark and imminent release of Elden Ring. The left and right click buttons activate the Kone XP’s Titan Optical Switches providing a responsive click, with ridiculously fast actuation for unprecedented speed and precision. ROCCAT’s Titan Optical Switch is faster than any mechanical switch and has twice the durability, clocking-in at a blistering 0.2ms actuation speed for up to 70 million clicks while offering adjustable debounce timing which is key for drag-clicking. With the Kone XP PC gamers can expect nothing but crisp, responsive execution with zero mis-clicks.

At the heart of the Kone XP PC gamers will find ROCCAT’s Owl-Eye 19K DPI optical sensor (based on PAW3370 from PixArt). The Owl-Eye sensor tracks any mouse movement with high-precision for extreme in-game accuracy and is customizable via ROCCAT’s Swarm software suite.

The Kone XP’s translucent shell sets the stage to showcase ROCCAT’s AIMO lighting engine and ecosystem, synchronizing with other AIMO-enabled ROCCAT products such as the Magma membrane keyboard or the award-winning Vulcans. AIMO produces vibrant lighting displays in 16.8 million colours right out of the box, without the need for extensive configuration. 

The Kone XPalso features ROCCAT’s PhantomFlex™ cable and heat-treated PTFE glides for a wireless mouse feeling. Flexible, pliable, and light, the cable won’t snag or tangle, and the mouse glides smoothly across desktops.

Hypnotizing Arcade Shooter Tempest 4000™ Comes to Atari VCS and Nintendo Switch this Spring

Dazzling Neon Graphics and a ‘90s Trance Soundtrack Culminates in Atari’s Return of the Beloved Fan-Favorite from Legendary Designer Jeff Minter

New York, NY (February 23, 2022)Atari® — one of the world’s most iconic consumer brands and interactive entertainment producers — announced today that Tempest 4000™, the critically-acclaimed sequel to the classic arcade game Tempest®, will launch on Atari VCS and Nintendo Switch on March 22, 2022. Developed by Llamasoft and legendary game designer Jeff Minter, Tempest 4000™ is a visually stunning, action-packed arcade shooter that remains faithful to the original while adding heart-pounding new gameplay features.

In Tempest 4000, players once again face screaming electric death as they take control of the Claw, a powerful spacecraft equipped to destroy deadly creatures and other obstructions with rapid-fire shots on vibrant geometric prisms. With three game modes to choose from and 100 levels to conquer, players must eliminate all enemies as quickly as possible to survive and achieve that coveted spot at the top of the leaderboards. 

Watch the latest Tempest 4000 trailer here:

The original Tempest, one of the first video games to use 3D vector graphics, represents one of Atari’s hallmark titles and is considered one of the most popular arcade games of all time. It has been featured prominently across pop culture — including in Ernest Cline’s dystopian Ready Player One novel. 

Key Features of Tempest 4000 Include:

  • A Blast from the Past: Take down hordes of enemies in this fast-paced, retro-arcade style shooter
     
  • Pick a Mode, Any Mode: Pick from three different game modes including Classic, Pure and Survival that will push your skills to the limit
     
  • Level Up: Progress and conquer 100 unique geometric levels by destroying enemies with various weapons and power-ups, and by earning upgrades through bonus rounds
     
  • Scale the Leaderboards: Show off your high score in your quest to be recognized as number one 
     
  • Get Bass Boosted: Enjoy the beats of a thumping soundtrack inspired by early 1990’s techno

Developed by Llamasoft, in partnership with designer Jeff Minter, and published by Atari, Tempest 4000 will release on Atari VCS and Nintendo Switch on March 22, 2022. The game is also available for purchase on Steam for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One for $19.99.
