Next-Generation Games Technology Studio Mythical Adds Command Streaming Entertainment Platform to its Portfolio

LOS ANGELES – Jan. 18, 2022 – Mythical Games, a leader in the growing play-to-earn gaming industry, today announced its acquisition of Polystream, whose interactive streaming platform transforms how real-time 3D content is streamed at scale. Polystream’s breakthrough technology seamlessly delivers everything required for outstanding interactive 3D consumer entertainment, enabling gamers and non-gamers alike to instantly engage with the content they love, without the need for massive game client downloads. The acquisition follows Mythical’s Series C raise in November 2021 of $150m at a $1.25b valuation, led by Andreessen Horowitz, and the announcement of the first developer partners signed to the Mythical Platform.

Leveraging the Polystream cloud-native infrastructure as well as its own proprietary economic engine, Mythical aims to decentralize how game publishing works and more fully bridge the gap between blockchain and mainstream gaming. Through Polystream’s “extended reality” technology, games and content become more accessible to all players across more devices and platforms. In early tests with Mythical’s Blankos Block Party game, a full 4GB game client was reduced to a 5MB PC client and downloaded in a matter of seconds. This technology not only enables more players on more devices to nearly instantly enjoy the game, it also ensures the game is always current without needing any additional updates when content changes.

“Over the last few years Mythical has grown to one of the largest gaming communities utilizing player-owned economies in video games. With this growth, we have seen increasing interest every month from non-traditional gamers and consumers wanting to be in immersive 3D game worlds. This new player demographic is not always the same as the ‘hardcore gamers’ we have seen before in PC and console, but very much want to interact and transact in these worlds,” said John Linden, CEO of Mythical Games. “I believe the combination of the Mythical Platform and Polystream’s revolutionary approach to command streaming fulfills massive components of the web3 ideology referred to as the ‘Metaverse’. Mythical now has not only the economic engine but a proprietary, patented streaming tech stack to deliver these incredible 3D worlds in a matter of seconds across nearly any platform. In addition, Polystream’s technology delivers this experience on CPU cloud hardware, allowing us to scale faster, and at a fraction of the cost of cloud streaming platforms.”

Polystream’s headquarters in Guildford UK will provide Mythical with a European hub that will become the epicenter for cloud-native, blockchain-based technology and games, and Polystream co-founders Bruce Grove and Adam Billyard will become part of the senior leadership team. 

“Our mission, from day one, was to disrupt everything we know about cloud native gaming. I can’t express how excited I am today that now, as part of Mythical Games, our platform will bridge the gap between blockchain-based technology and millions of consumers, bringing the benefits of NFT gaming to an even larger stage via accessible mass-market games,” said Bruce Grove, co-founder and CEO of Polystream. “We’ve been following Mythical for a long time, and they share our vision of a metaverse that not only hands ownership of IP back to the creators and the users, but importantly, makes it fun. I’m so proud of all my team for never giving up on building the impossible, and we can’t wait to start working with our new friends and colleagues at Mythical.” 

The acquisition of Polystream brings the total number of Mythical employees to over 200, and the company, named one of Inc.’s 2021 Best Places to Work, is continuing to hire for roles globally. For a listing of open positions, please visit: mythicalgames.com/careers.

World of Warships launches Pan-Asian cruisers into Early Access

The New Year marks the arrival of a new batch of cruisers from out east in Update 0.11.0, as well as Superships coming to random battle and rewards exclusive to Twitch and Discord

18 January –World of Warships, is setting out to sea with a brand new range of Tier V-X Pan-Asian cruisers this update. On top of this, rentals of superships are being made available for Random Battles, Asymmetric Battles make a grand return, and the Armory has been freshly fitted out with some powerful new additions.

Pan-Asian Cruisers: Part One

In the first new event of the year, players can take the helm of six Pan-Asian cruisers for the very first time – vessels known for their small-caliber but quick-firing guns and mighty deep-water torpedoes. These include the Tier V Chungking of the Republic of China and Tier VI Rahmat from Malaysia, all the way up to the Tier X Jinan from the People’s Republic of China.

Twenty-eight fresh combat missions will be made available in four batches week by week, which on completion come littered with rewards, such as access to the Tier V Chungking and Tier VII Chumphon as well as Pan-Asian tokens. This new temporary resource can be redeemed for a swathe of camouflages, patches, and sequentially available bundles for the Tier VI Rahmat and Tier VIII Harbin as well as the Tier IX Sejong and their special skins. The Dragon Port has also been updated in honour of the event.

Following the theme of the Pan-Asian cruisers, players will also be able to celebrate the Lunar New Year by participating in combat missions to earn a themed flag, special containers and other items.

Earn Portal Tokens through socials

Update 0.11.0 also encourages players to earn Portal Tokens to secure the Japanese Castle skin for Fuso, exclusive to World of Warships’ fans on Twitch and Discord, as well as active Recruiters.

From January 19th and throughout the update, Portal Tokens can be gathered through missions revealed via weekly Twitch drops, regular Discord activities. Players can exchange the resource for either the skin itself or to unlock a mission marathon with the skin as the final reward.

Supership-sized changes to Random Battles and the grand return of Asymmetric Battles

After extensive sea trials in Ranked and Co-op Battles, Superships are now ready for an extensive new phase of testing in Random Battles, bringing this popular new addition to being a permanent fixture in World of Warships.

Asymmetric Battles are back! The battle type with different numbers of ships on each side has undergone a few changes since it’s been away, which now contains 6-8 Tier IX and X ships on one side and 9-12 Tier VII and VIII ships on the other.

Additions to the Armory

Last, but by no means least, the battle cruiser project Incomparable will be made available in the Armory for Steel, packed with a wide variety of consumables. Thanks to its 508-mm main guns and two four-pipe torpedo tubes, this ship is not only speedy, but powerful too.

NeocoreGames is announcing that the full release date of its upcoming tactical-RPG King Arthur: Knight’s Tale has been moved from 15 February to 29 March, 2022 on Steam.

While the delay is a small one, NeocoreGames is confident that the extra weeks of development and polish will help to deliver the strongest possible version of King Arthur: Knight’s Tale for its fans.

The turn-based tactical game is currently available in Steam Early Access, where players can experience the entirety of the campaign’s first Act. The rest of the campaign and the endgame mode will be added in the final release. There is still plenty more information to share with players in the run-up to launch, but to learn more about what happens after the campaign credits roll, please watch the dev diary below.

King Arthur: Knight’s Tale is also coming to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S at a later date.

Set in a dark fantasy world based on the Arthurian myth (and our previous King Arthur strategy games), this Tactical / RPG hybrid begins right after the famous battle of Camlann, with a twist:

You are Sir Mordred, the nemesis of King Arthur, the former black knight of the grim tales. You killed King Arthur, but with his dying breath, he struck you down. You both died – and yet, you both live.

The Lady of the Lake, the ruler of the mystical island of Avalon brought you back to end a true nightmare. She wants you to go on a knightly quest. She wants you to finish what you have begun. Kill King Arthur – or whatever he has become after she took his dying vessel to Avalon.

MAIN FEATURES

Your Fights 
Control a small team of heroes and fight gruelling, but satisfying battles with a deeply engaging, tactical turn-based combat system. Choose from more than 30 heroes across six diverse classes and combine hundreds of skills and artifacts to assemble an efficient team.

Your Heroes
Gather your own Knights of the Round Table and send them on knightly quests. These heroes are the most important resources and the most complex gameplay elements at the same time. But beware! Death is always final! You must manage them at the Round Table accordingly, planning ahead before going into battles. The character progression system is designed to be as deep as in the traditional RPGs: heroes level up on unique skill trees and the complex loot system provides unique options to fine-tune their tactical capabilities. Each hero has a distinctive personality and their loyalty is constantly changing through the decisions made by the player –  in certain cases they can even leave the Round Table and turn against you.

Your Kingdom
See the entirety of Avalon presented on an Adventure Map, observe all the territory, select your missions and explore various places. Management in King Arthur: Knight’s Tale focuses on rebuilding Camelot and expanding the mystical Stronghold with new buildings that each unlock various upgrades, and also offers different ways to heal up and manage the heroes of the Round Table.

Your Legend
Play as Sir Mordred, the former nemesis of King Arthur. Explore the mystical island of Avalon, venture on knightly quests and make decisions in various encounters where you’ll need to make moral choices, as in most RPGs, which all have impact on the story and your Morality.
