Holidays Are Coming to Red Dead Online – Enjoy Four Weeks of Seasonal Cheer With Bonuses on Moonshiner and Trader Sales, Bounty Hunting, Call to Arms, Gun Rush, and More

‘Tis almost the season in Red Dead Online and the Christmas spirit is ramping up across the frontier. Next week, expect flurries in the forecast and celebrations to be in full swing with decorations at your Campsite and Moonshine Shack, as well as on the cobbled streets of Saint Denis.

Keep an ear out for carols, music, and season’s greetings from Cripps, Harriet, and Gus on your travels and make sure to bundle up: the weather might take a turn for the cold and snowy. Rank lock restrictions will be lifted on the Double Barrel Shotgun, which will allow anyone to get the seasonally appropriate Krampus Shotgun Variant between December 14 and January 5 so you can strike some seasonal terror into your foes.

Before the holidays kick off proper, get into the swing of things with huge bonuses and discounts across an abundance of missions, modes, and more.

2X RDO$ and XP Bonuses on Bounty Missions and Call to Arms

Just because the yule log is lit does not mean that crime takes a day off. As a matter of fact, crime spikes around the holidays every year — and both lawmen and townsfolk alike need all the help they can get stemming the tide. Earn 2X RDO$ and Character XP in Call to Arms, plus 2X RDO$ and Role XP on all Bounty Missions from now until January 5.

New Seasonal Call to Arms Maps Coming December 21

Not everyone is all about peace on Earth and good will to their fellow man: check your inbox at the local Post Office between December 21 and January 5 for Telegrams telling of heartless bandits laying siege to the holdouts at Colter, Rhodes, Hanging Dog Ranch, and Emerald Ranch under the cover of inclement weather.

There are also reports of cougars, wolves, and bears, so don’t let your guard slip. A Christmas-themed locomotive may also be seen stopping in the stations at Rhodes and Emerald Ranch amidst the fighting, except it’s not bearing gifts, but rather hauling more gunmen for you to send to their maker.

Successfully reaching the last wave on any Holiday Call to Arms map will land you an Offer for 50% off any weapon.

2X RDO$ on all Trader and Moonshine Sales

Local townsfolk hunger for fresh goods and strong spirits: completing any Trader or Moonshine Sales over the holiday season will dish out 2X RDO$ for those who manage to keep their wagons on the straight and narrow.

Earn Big for Showing up in Showdowns

Just because the holidays are nigh does not mean all competition has to be friendly and amicable. Do you hanker to get your hands dirty in a good old-fashioned gunfight? Do your trigger fingers itch when they’re idle, especially around the holiday season?

Luckily for you, modes like Make It Count and Last Stand are doling out 3X RDO$ and XP and 2X Gold, while Gun Rush, Gun Rush Teams, Spoils of War, Up in Smoke, and Overrun are all paying out Double Rewards, meaning there’s plenty of reason to see if you can emerge from the bloody fray on top and relatively unscathed.

Christmastime Bonuses and Offers

These are good times to gather and be merry together: visiting any Saloon and ordering a drink from the bartender will land you the ‘Good to See Ya’ Emote, free of charge.

Those who play Red Dead Online between December 14 and Christmas Day will receive Rewards for 25 Capitale and a free Accessory, while the Winter Evans Repeater will be free to all players between December 14-29. Log in between December 26 and January 5 and you’ll receive 10 sticks of Volatile Dynamite, 20 Fire Arrows, plus a Reward for a free Weight Loss Tonic to help stave off the holiday weight, and a Reward to clear your bounty in all states to start next year off with a clean slate.

Ring in the New Year with Bounty Hunter Bonuses, Rewards, and a Free Winter Coat

The dawn of the New Year brings with it the promise of new starts, unless you’re a dastardly coward hounded by the long arm of the law, that is. In which case, the future is looking grimmer and grimmer. From December 28 to January 5, bring in Player Bounties alive for 2,000 Bounty Hunter XP, or cold ‘n’ dead for RDO$200. Likewise, deliver any Legendary or Infamous Bounties — dead or alive — to receive 2 Hawkmoth Bolas.

As the temperatures continue to plummet after the holidays, return to Red Dead Online between the dates above to receive a free Winter Shotgun Coat, all the better to protect you from the incoming snowstorms and howling winds. Please allow up to 72 hours for your Rewards and Offers to arrive.

Discounts

Those looking to join the ranks of the head-hunters can take 5 Gold Bars off both Bounty Hunter Licenses, as well as half off all Bolas (including Hawkmoth, Brookstone, and Gravesend variants), 30% off the Bounty Hunter Wagon, and 40% off all Novice, Promising and Established Bounty Hunter Role Items.

See below for the complete list of discounts available from vendors across the frontier, as well as the Wheeler, Rawson and Co. Catalogue for the next four weeks.

  • 50% off all Bolas (including Hawkmoth, Brookstone, Gravesend)

Those players who connect to Prime Gaming between December 21 through January 17 will receive Rewards for a Bolt Action Rifle and a free Coat.

Introducing Ubisoft Quartz, The First Platform for Playable and Energy-Efficient NFTs In AAA Games

Ubisoft’s Strategic Innovation Lab Will Launch a New Experiment Leveraging the Environmentally Sustainable Blockchain, Tezos

Sydney, December 8, 2021 – Today, Ubisoft announced Ubisoft Quartz, a new platform for players to acquire Digits, the first NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) playable in an AAA game and running on energy-efficient technology. Launching in beta with Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon^® Breakpoint on Ubisoft Connect for Windows PC, Digits will be released as part of limited Editions, each composed of a fixed number of cosmetic items.

Digits are a new way to experience cosmetic items, combining the fun of playing with AAA quality assets and the thrill of owning NFTs that represent unique, collectible pieces of Ubisoft game worlds. Digits are collectible in-game vehicles, weapons, and pieces of equipment that offer players unprecedented ways to connect with and enjoy more value from the games they love:

• Uniqueness: Each Digit is a unique collectible that features its own serial number for others to see in-game, also keeping track of its current and previous owners for years to come, making players an integral part of the game’s history.

• Playability: Digits are high-quality in-game collectibles with active utility value. As playable cosmetic items, Digits provide players the ability to personalize their experience and complete their missions with style.

• Control: Each Digit comes with a certificate of ownership stored on blockchain, a decentralized, community-driven technology independent from Ubisoft, which grants players more control than ever. With Digits, items are no longer bound to a player’s game inventory since they can be put on sale for other eligible players to acquire on third-party platforms outside of the Ubisoft ecosystem.

This large-scale experiment is the next step in Ubisoft’s four-year exploration of blockchain technology through in-house research and development and close collaboration with renowned specialists within the startup ecosystem.

“Our long-term efforts led us to understand how blockchain’s decentralized approach could genuinely make players stakeholders of our games, in a way that is also sustainable for our industry, placing back into their hands the value they generate through the time they spend, the items they buy or the content they create online,” said Nicolas Pouard, VP of Ubisoft’s  Strategic Innovation Lab. “Ubisoft Quartz is the first building block in our ambitious vision for developing a true metaverse. And it can’t come to life without overcoming blockchain’s early-form limitations for gaming, including scalability and energy consumption.”

To operate the first energy-efficient NFTs playable in a AAA game, Ubisoft Quartz leverages Tezos, a blockchain running on a Proof-of-Stake consensus mechanism, using exceedingly less energy to operate than Proof-of-Work blockchains such as Bitcoin or Ethereum.

“Energy-efficiency is a key requirement to propel blockchain technology into a future where it can be widely used by millions of players. We chose Tezos because of its original Proof-of-Stake network and its leadership on clean NFTs,” says Didier Genevois, Blockchain Technical Director at Ubisoft. “One transaction on their network uses the same amount of energy as streaming 30 seconds of video, while the previous generation of blockchain networks can consume the same energy required for one year of non-stop streaming. This low carbon footprint means that both our developers and our players can prioritize innovation without compromising sustainability.”

To ensure that players can use Digits to the full extent of their utility, Ubisoft Quartz will only be available to players that meet the following eligibility criteria:

• Play Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint on Ubisoft Connect for Windows PC
• Reach at least the XP Level 5 in the game
• Be at least 18 years old

In addition, the number of Digits of a single Edition that a player can own at any time is limited to one.

Ubisoft Quartz will be available in beta starting December 10 at 5AM AEDT in the USA, Canada, Spain, France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Australia and Brazil. The experiment will kick off with three drops of free Digits on December 10, 13, and 13 (AEDT), to reward the early adopters among players. Digits can be claimed on the Ubisoft Quartz platform and played with in Ghost Recon Breakpoint. Other drops are planned for early 2022, and more details will be shared at a later date.

Step into an atmospheric dystopia as a young Ravengirl attempting to flee the brutal systemic oppression of the hierarchical White City

Gothenburg, Sweden – December 7th, 2021 – Thunderful Publishing, Mixtvision & Monokel are pleased to announce that cinematic puzzle platformer White Shadows is out now on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC for $19,99 / €19.99 / £16.99. Step into a rich and atmospheric world where you play as a little Ravengirl trying to escape a brutal dystopia founded on propaganda that puts her at the bottom of its hierarchical social ladder.

White Shadows’ striking architectural forms and stunning monochrome art style combine to create a world of tragic beauty. It’s a world where the lies of the elite are plastered across its walls, where twisted forms of entertainment are used to keep everyone in their place, and where hope seems in short supply.

Composed of a vast network of towers rising from the void of post-catastrophe darkness into the sky above, the city our young heroine seeks to escape is a dangerous place to be. She will have to find ways to avoid the teeth of machinery primed to grind her into dust, leap across rickety infrastructure that bridges the cavernous darkness all around and avoid the watchful eyes of guards ready to gun her down. She will travel to the city’s brightest highs and delve to its darkest depths on her journey, discovering her destiny among the last free people alive.

“It’s been a long road to get to this point and we couldn’t be more happy that people are finally going to be able to get to play the game we’ve been working so hard on,” said Daniel Wagner, creative director and co-founder at Monokel. “We can’t wait to see what people make of White Shadows and how they connect with the impactful experience we are trying to deliver.”

About Monokel
Monokel is an independent development studio for interactive narratives. Situated in Cologne and with friends all over, we produce games that see themselves as stories – stories worth telling in a world that grows in polarization, marginalization, and injustice in the distribution of wealth and power. Our shared goal is to inspire through our stories and encourage critical thinking. We try to provide thought- and heart-provoking gameplay experiences for curious players around the world.

The nature of our work is strongly experimental. Monokel sees itself as a social company. We try to emphasize and amplify the voices of every single person who works with us. We put self-organization over classical hierarchies and talent over resumes.

As of now, we are a band of eight mostly highly likable weirdos from all kinds of different backgrounds. Our team includes an emotional support dog (Bonny, named after a famous pirate queen) and a big rubber chicken (Mono, named after nothing in particular). Bonny likes it when you hug her. Mono screams. And of course, we are very pretty. On the inside.
