Play as waves of undead and destroy humanity in RealityZ’s brand new episodic strategy title

Lyon, France – 4 November 2021 – RealityZ, the French video game studio, has announced the release of Too Many Humans, the real-time strategy game where players take control of a zombie horde to destroy humanity and save the Earth. Too Many Humans will be divided into three episodes, the first of which is playable today, while the next two will be available in 2022.

Kill the Humans, Save the World
In Too Many Humans, Gaia, the goddess of nature, calls upon her brother Phtisis to destroy humanity, whose polluting presence is harming Earth. Phtisis raises an army of living dead to carry out his mission and preserve the planet. Players will harness the immeasurable strength of their undead horde and discover new mutations to power up their legion of the living dead.

Tower Defence in Reverse
Too Many Humans promises a strategy experience that innovates on the genre’s typical format – This time, you are the threat!  The gameplay of Too Many Humans focuses on three main mechanics:

• Collect resources: In order to feed the horde, players will have to ’forcefully recruit’ new troops by using humans to enlarge their ranks. This “flesh” resource that players recover can then be used to create more zombies to overwhelm humanity’s strongholds.
• Mutate your zombies to adapt your tactics: The mutation mechanic gives players flexibility in their tactical approach. Some zombies will be more resistant, others capable of causing explosions, some will collect resources by consuming whatever gets in their way, be it humans, cars, or lampposts.
• Control the battlefield: Players will have to manage their resources, special troops, and enemies to make the best decisions during battle. By doing so and reacting to the challenges of each level, their relentless zombie waves will carry them to victory. In the case of defeat, players will be able to raise their army of the dead again and adapt their strategy to defeat the last remnants of humanity.

“After spending what could be considered a lifetime playing Zerg in the various Starcraft games, I wanted to recreate the feeling of the horde coming and going and harassing the opponent to the point of exhaustion, while making the control easier and more intuitive.” Says Julien Millet, creative director at RealityZ. “I hope that players will find this experience in Too Many humans,”

This first episode features seven action-packed levels that will allow players to travel across the United States to spread chaos and desolation. The second and third episodes, scheduled for February and June 2022 respectively, will add to the number of levels and bring new gameplay mechanics.

Too Many Humans – Episode 1 is now available on Steam for £5.79 / $7.99 / 6,59€

About RealityZ:
Realityz is a French independent game development studio, based in Lyon, France, created more than 7 years ago.  The studio has worked with many prestigious partners such as Asmodée Digital, Arkane, Mi-Clos or Tactical Adventures. After successful experiences in the world of virtual reality games with the production of games such as Monsterplant vs Bowling or Beatblocks, RealityZ is back with Too Many Humans, their first strategy game, a genre that has always fascinated the studio’s team.

New Route Arrives Today on PC, PlayStation®4, PlayStation®5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S

KENT, U.K. – Nov. 4 , 2021 – Dovetail Games is excited to announce the addition of the Rivet Games developed West Cornwall Local route for Train Sim World 2 on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, the Xbox One family of devices including the Xbox One X, as well as PlayStation®5 and Xbox Series X|S. Train Sim World 2: West Cornwall Local allows operators to experience the beautiful countryside of the ‘Great Western’ across Penzance – St. Austell & St Ives. A journey into the past, the West Cornwall Localcaptures this line in the 1990s in the pre-British Rail privatization era.

Opened in 1867, the Cornish Main Line, has long been the backbone of Cornwall’s thriving tourism industry as its sprawling branches serve local communities and bring holidaymakers keen to make a coastal getaway into the region. Control the recognisable BR Class 150/2, a staple of any rural regional line in England, or experience classic motive power in the form of the BR Class 37/5 which can be accompanied by the YCV ‘Turbot’ and YGB ‘Seacow’ wagons.

“We’d had a lot of requests for a route in Cornwall, the UK’s most South-Westerly region, and we could see why,” said Rivet Games Director Tim Gatland, “It has beautiful countryside, amazing beaches and lovely towns. We’re looking forward to players exploring this iconic British railway in Train Sim World 2.”

With the West Cornwall Local route, operators choose how they want to play; drive trains across the 44-mile line from Penzance to St. Austell, ride around as a passenger across the St. Ives branch, complete the newly added route tasks, or simply pick a vantage point and watch the action unfold. You are in control of your experience with the Scenario Planner and Livery Designer. Whatever you choose to do, there’s lots to see and experience in Train Sim World 2: West Cornwall Local.

• Strong Planning and Customer Support Leads to 27% Market Share
• Solid Business Position Continues into 2021

Australia– November 4, 2021 – Kingston Technology, a world leader in memory products and technology solutions, today announced TrendForce has named it as the number one supplier of SSDs in the channel (retail)for all of 2020. According to TrendForce, Kingston accounted for a whopping 27 percent of the 111.5 million units shipped in 2020.

With the emergence of COVID-19 in 2020, TrendForce reported a 15% YoY decrease in annual SSD shipments to the channel and severe delays in manufacturing and logistics resulting in a sudden decline in order volumes. Yet, findings show through Kingston’s global strategy for sourcing components, the company was well ahead of its competitors considering a global pandemic and looming chip shortage. The results reinforced Kingston as the clear leader in SSD production, as the second-place supplier accounted for only 8 percent of the total channel market. As a category, third-party suppliers (non-semiconductor) SSD makers accounted for 65% of the total shipments in 2020.

Kingston Technology’s presence in the market is widely due to its strong relationships with customers and channel partners worldwide. As the ongoing health crisis swept through the world and businesses moved fast to adapt, Kingston continued to offer top-tier sales support and access to in-house product experts and engineers who embody the “Kingston Is With You” working attitude that has led to three successful decades of reliability and support for customers. Kingston’s #1 rank in the SSD market is no surprise when the same approach in the DRAM division has led the company to be the largest third-party memory module supplier for the 18^th consecutive year.

“The 2020 research findings reinforce Kingston’s growing presence and position in the SSD market,” said Kingston. “The COVID-19 pandemic has largely impacted and accelerated the worldwide demand of SSDs with remote working and education as the key drivers behind last year’s surge continuing through 2021 into next year. With that, we continue to solidify our offerings with distinct SATA and NVMe solutions in the client space and growing enterprise solutions for a variety of applications and host environments.”

Kingston has no plans in slowing down having just added two PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSDs to its portfolio with the addition of KC3000 and Kingston FURY Renegade SSD.  The high-performance drives joined Kingston’s family of client SSDs to enable those who demand speed and reliability to handle intensive games and application workloads on desktops and laptop PCs.
