UNLOCK THE MYSTERY BEHIND A WORLD OF LOST MEMORIES IN BLUE REFLECTION: SECOND LIGHT,NOW AVAILABLE WORLDWIDE

Search for Clues, Recover Lost Memories, and Explore the Magical Land of Heartscape

Hertfordshire, 9^th November 2021 – Today, KOEI TECMO Europe and developer Gust Studios are proud to announce that BLUE REFLECTION: Second Light – the highly-anticipated sequel to their beloved 2017 JRPG, BLUE REFLECTION, is now available worldwide for the Nintendo Switch™, PlayStation®4 Computer Entertainment System (playable on PlayStation®5 via Backward Compatibility), and Windows PC via Steam®.

BLUE REFLECTION: Second Light follows the adventures of three students – Ao Hoshizaki, Kokoro Utsubo, and Yuki Kinjou – who find themselves transported to a mysterious floating academy, searching for clues to find their way back home, with only their names as memories. One day, a path leading to a new land appears. Since the new land surrounds the world the heroines inhabit, they refer to it as “the heart of the world” and name the unexplained new area Heartscape. Inside Heartscape, the characters will be able to find ingredients for cooking, along with materials for crafting, battle, and building special facilities inside the academy. They will also discover memory shards, and the moment Ao and her friends touch one of these enigmatic lights, the memories begin to reignite bit by bit. Collect more memory shards to uncover each heroine’s memories, while at the same time stepping closer to unlocking the mystery of this world.

But inside Heartscape also lurks danger. By battling the creatures inside this magical new land, they unlock unknown powers that only seem to deepen the cryptic nature of their surroundings. Eventually, Ao and friends will learn to use the power of mysterious rings to summon weapons, change their appearance, and become “Reflectors” ready to repel the attacking beasts in a hectic real-time battle system.

Luckily, all is not doom and gloom in the land of Heartscape, as between exploration and battling monsters, the students will be able to bond and grow deeper connections by going out on dates. The friendlier certain characters become with each other, the more conversations they will be able to have, and will even begin holding hands to display these more meaningful friendships. Throughout the adventure, the new friends cooperate and struggle to make their everyday-life as rich and as fun as possible. While spending every day trapped in this unknown world, the characters’ true feelings and personalities will be revealed, and as their bonds grow deeper, they will acquire new strengths and abilities as they attempt to find their way back home.

To keep the adventure fresh after launch, BLUE REFLECTION: Second Light will also feature three free updates arriving after the game’s initial release. The first update will hit November 23^rd and will include all new Photo Mode filters, including watercolour and hatching, along with the ability to take photos of the characters in Reflector form. On December 21^st, all new photo frames and idol poses will be available in Photo Mode, along with the ability to build a Photo Studio in school development, plus the addition of a more hardcore difficulty mode aptly named MUST DIE. The MUST DIE content throws the students into extremely challenging battles, where the enemies are not only more powerful, but the likelihood of the enemies dropping items also increases. Additional Photo Mode updates will also be available January 14^th, 2022, including a Pixel Art filter, along with more unique poses to help add even more variety to your array of snapshots.

Furthermore, Gust Studios recently revealed a costume collaboration between BLUE REFLECTION: Second Light and the upcoming Atelier Sophie 2: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Dream. For those who own both the “Summer Bikini” early purchase bonus for BLUE REFLECTION: Second Light and the limited time bonus “Comfy and Casual” from Atelier Sophie 2: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Dream, the costumes will be unlocked to wear across each respective game.

Rainbow Six Siege welcomes Thorn, an Irish Operator, and a rework of the Outback map amongst many updates

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA — November 9, 2021 — Today, Ubisoft^® revealed High Calibre, the fourth and final season of Tom Clancy’s Rainbow SixSiege Year 6. This new season includes a new Operator, Thorn, coming from Ireland and equipped with Razorbloom Shells and bearing a brand-new weapon, the UZK50Gi, in addition to the reworked Outback map and many other updates.

In High Calibre, players will discover a brand-new Defender, Thorn, equipped with Razorbloom Shells: throwable proximity devices that, once triggered, initiate a timed detonation. If enemy players don’t get out of the area of effect in time, they will receive damage at the end of the fuse timer. Thorn is a medium speed, medium armour Operator who can be equipped with either the new UZK50Gi or the M870 as primary weapon and with the 1911 TACOPS or the C75-AUTO as secondary weapon.

In addition, the Outback map has been rebuilt to improve balancing and player comfort. Both the main building and its exterior have been modified to allow the Attackers to create and execute more effective strategies. In addition, new exterior soft walls have been added to the building, and some areas have been refurbished and cleaned up to remove junk and provide better lines of sight and balance.

Additional updates coming with High Calibre include:

• Choosing team colors between blue, orange or red
• Balancing updates (Finka, Echo and Mozzie’s drones, bulletproof cameras update, new rule for cameras placed outdoors)
• New customisation features on Operators’ Cards, victory dances, colors and more.
• New HUD
• New version of the Streamer Mode soft launch for a limited number of creators is coming during the season

The Test Server for High Calibre will go live on November 10. The Test Server format has been updated and will now be open at three separate times throughout the season and content will be split into three different releases: the seasonal release TS which contains the content that will be shipped with the season, the Lab TS release which includes experimental content that will be used to test features in early production, and the TS balancing release which contains the Operator and other balancing changes.

Players are invited to submit the issues they encounter on the Test Server on the updated R6 Fix platform here. This new platform is now easier to navigate in and offers new features such as the search feature or the possibility for players to track updates on bugs they report for more transparency.

In addition, players can earn twice as many Battle Pass points from November 12 to November 15.

About Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege

Alongside a thriving professional esports scene and a community of over 75 million registered players, Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege puts players in the middle of a fast-paced, ever-evolving multiplayer experience grounded in the selection of unique Operators. Using the right mix of tactics and destruction, Rainbow Six teams engage their enemies in sieges, where both sides have exclusive skills and gadgets at their disposal. Defenders prepare by transforming the environments around them into modern strongholds, while attackers use recon drones to gain intel for carefully planning their assault. With access to dozens of Operators inspired by real world counter-intelligence agents from around the globe, players can choose exactly how they want to approach each challenge they encounter. Through the constant addition of new Operators and maps that add to the depth of both strategy and combat, the unpredictability of each round of Rainbow Six Siege sets a new bar for intensity and competition in gaming.

First-time finalists go head-to-head in Season Three Finals

9^th November 2021 – Two brand new contenders have overcome the odds to make it to the World of Tanks ANZ Premier League Season 3 grand final this November 13^th. The Melbourne Matildas and Perth Panthers will both be making their grand finals debut as they compete for the title of ANZ Premier League Season Three Champions.

Season Three has proven to be the most unpredictable and riveting season yet, full of upsets and underdog storylines. The Perth Panthers are writing their own Cinderella story, sneaking into the playoffs on the very last day of the regular season, before shocking the back-to back defending ANZPL champions, the North Sydney Sentinels, in a dominant 4-2 victory in the semi-finals.

For both teams, this grand final represents the culmination of a significant turnaround. For the Matildas, who placed last in Season One of the Premier League, this season has been all about making good on the progress and promise they had shown in Season 2.

For the Panthers, making it to the finals is a massive coup. This team was bottom of the ladder in Season Two and looked to be heading in a similar direction until very late into the season until a climactic ending.

World of Tanks ANZ Product Manager, Jake Truman, believes that Season Three has been the most surprising and captivating season yet, in no small part because of the Panthers dramatic final day clinching of a playoff spot at the expense of South Australian team, Adelaide Action X.

“This  will be a genuine East Coast vs. West Coast finale with both teams hungry for the win. We expect plenty of star power as well, with three of the five Fantasy League ‘Team of the Season’ players playing for the Matildas or Panthers,” said Jake.

The winners will receive a cash prize of AUD$10,000, seven noblechairs Hero Black edition gaming chairs and seven HyperX custom ANZPL Alloy Origins 60 keyboards.

TOKYO – 9 Nov. 2021 – Super UFO Fighter, the head-to-head party action game from Japanese indie developer VV-LABO and published by Phoenixx, warps over to Steam for PC and Nintendo Switch for release on Thursday, 13 Jan. 2022, as revealed at INDIE Live Expo Winter 2021.

Compete to be the galaxy’s best Shwooper in colorful 1v1 battles with pixel physics! Use each UFO’s Shwoop Beam and Smash Attacks to fling items around the stage in search of the Target Item found in falling capsules. Once the Target Item is under the sway of Shwoop Beam, deposit it in the goal by outflying your opponent, scoring a long-range using game’s spacy pixel physics, or by taking advantage of the unique gimmicks on each stage. When on defense, use your own beam to block and steal the Target Item, deposit regular items in goals to raise or lower barriers, or use Smash Attacks to gain the upper hand!

Learn to become a super Shwooper in the single-player Story mode. Accidentally abducted human girl Lulu finds herself exploring the ultra-colorful universe as the next big Shwooper. Duke it out with other UFO contenders in locales like the Shwoop Stadium, Bubbletopia Palace and Corner Caboodle, using each stage’s Gimmick to become the galactic champion!

Probe your way through the rankings in one of six different UFOs, each with different Shwoop Beams and Smash Attacks. Become the most extra extraterrestrial by competing in online UFO battles, with ranked, casual, and friend modes. Super UFO Fighter also supports cross-platform multiplayer to Shwoop it up with friends in other galaxies. Local play is also supported and is designed for Tabletop mode on the Switch with two Joy-Cons.

“Super UFO Fighter is the game that brought our team together, and we’re excited for it to bring friends together,” said Taro Masuda, main programmer and art director, VV-LABO. “We look forward to putting people’s friendships to the test in early 2022.”
