Epsom, November 15: Slitherine (Warhammer 40,000: Gladius – Relics of War, Warhammer 40,000: Sanctus Reach and Warhammer 40,000: Armageddon) and Black Lab Games (Battlestar Galactica Deadlock and Starhammer) are pleased to announce that the critically acclaimed turn-based strategy title set in Games Workshop’s world-renowned grimdark universe: Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector will launch on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4 and Games for Windows on December 2. 

That’s not all: the game will be available Day One for Xbox Game Pass for Console and PC

Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector is the definitive battle-scale turn-based strategy title that takes players to the battlefields of the 41st Millennium in an epic single-player campaign that explores the aftermath of the Devastation of Baal. Sergeant Carleon and his allies must purge the Tyranid infestation on Baal Secundus, and preserve the honour of the noble Blood Angels. The gripping campaign also introduces the mighty Primaris Marines for the first time.

The console version features full achievement and trophy support, in addition to an updated UI and brand new control scheme specifically designed for consoles, giving players full tactical control when commanding the Blood Angel Space Marines in bone-rattling and soul-crushing skirmishes against the Tyranids.

Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector will be expanded over the coming months via DLC which will introduce new factions, maps and modes. The first two packs will launch on December 2 for both Console and PC, adding new elite units to the game.

The Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector – Blood Angels Elite DLC gives players access to Assault Terminators and Sanguinary Guard. Assault Terminators feature a game-changing Deep Strike ability, while The Sanguinary Guard can quickly traverse the battlefield using their Jump Pack and can be equipped with a variety of ranged and melee weapon options. 

The Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector – Tyranid Elites DLC adds the Broodlord and Hive Guard. The Broodlord are superior melee warriors with a natural ability for disrupting the minds of nearby prey, whereas the Hive Guard offers deadly ranged attacks, wrapped in a heavy armour of lumbering carapace. 

For an exclusive first look at a new, upcoming faction that will be added to the game in 2022, please tune in to the Slitherine Home of the Wargamers Live + event taking place on the 14 December.

Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector was positively received by critics and gamers alike, and currently holds a Very Positive rating on Steam with over 1,400 reviews.

Magical and Murderous Intent With a Medieval Aesthetic

Denver, CO – November 15th, 2021 – Independent developer VestGames in partnership with indie publisher Versus Evil are excited to announce that their multiplayer social deduction game Eville  will be launching on PC via Steam Early Access in 2022.

A mysterious murder has taken place in the once peaceful village of Eville, and so begins a collective effort for those involved to either unmask the co-conspirators and prevent them taking over the village, or just get through the night alive. Built upon a solid foundation of deceit, slander, and manipulation, Eville casts players into randomly assigned roles with every session each with unique abilities, skills and advantages.

As Mayor you could flex your voting power and village stature, or go about setting traps for the dastardly murderer as the Trapper, or you could be investigating suspicious villagers as the Detective, or just talk smack, casting doubts and aspersions about the other players as the Slanderer. Whatever your role, there’s murderous intent afoot and someone’s responsible, it could be you or it could be someone else, utilizing your social skills is key to your survival.

Fundamental to Eville’s gameplay mechanic is its day and night cycle, during the day villagers will go about their daily lives before retiring to their cosy homes in the evening, unless of course you’re the murderer, where nightfall can be used to deadly effect, gruesomely hacking people to death in their beds while they slumber.

Players will have access to handy items and crafting abilities, spending their hard earned copper during the day on upgrades to help them survive the night or survive the devious traps by the pesky do gooders impeding another murder.

Within the quaint village map of Eville, players can find forlorn citizens who need assistance and even encounter the ghosts of the dead, Eville is not a place where dead men tell no tales and the clues to treachery and murder are still attainable.

“The Versus Evil team are huge fans of the social deduction genre. We just launched First Class Trouble 1.0 this month on PC, PS4, & PS5. Social deduction offers players a form of multiplayer gaming that connects people and invites them to engage one another in ways specific to this style of game,” said Steve Escalante, General Manager of Versus Evil.

“Eville stood out to us because the talented team at VestGames have approached social deduction in a wholly unique way with its medieval RPG style, character roles, and individualized motives. It’s sure to deliver a distinctive experience full of excitement, challenge, friendships, and of course, inevitable betrayal, that we feel fans of the genre will enjoy.  We’re very excited to be working with the creative minds at VestGames, and to introduce Eville to players around the world.”To find out more about Eville and its unique spin on the social deduction game genre, head over to the game’s Steam page here.

DIGITAL EXTREMES INTRODUCES PRIME RESURGENCE TO WARFRAME, UNVAULTING A VAST COLLECTION OF ITS RAREST AND MOST POWERFUL PRIME WARFRAMES FOR A LIMITED-TIME ONLY AS THE NEW WAR APPROACHES THIS DECEMBER

Discover Warframe’s Thrilling All-Out-War Action and Assemble the Prime Vanguard with the Prime Resurgence to Prepare for a New War with Old Enemies this December

LONDON, Ontario – November 12, 2021 –Warframe developer Digital Extremes is inviting new and returning players to discover its free 30+ hour story-based Cinematic Quest within the critically acclaimed action game as the Canadian publisher and developer treks toward launching its next and largest expansion, The New War, on all platforms in December. Full of non-stop space action, combat, and a personal story of self-discovery, Warframe’s Cinematic Quest is a AAA developed single-player experience taking players on a journey across 16 planets with 3 Open Worlds as they work to restore balance to a fractured intergalactic ecosystem – The Origin System – left in a state of all-out war.

To prepare players for the action and threats of The New War, Digital Extremes is introducing its first-ever, massive, limited-run Prime unvaulting program, Prime Resurgence, to Warframe on November 16. Prime Resurgence gives players an opportunity to instantly unlock or earn a selection of Warframe’s rarest and most powerful Prime Warframes, the Prime Vanguard, on a rotating basis through the expansion’s release in December. An extension of Warframe’s Prime Vault program, Prime Resurgence will reward players with unprecedented access to 18 Prime Warframes and gear previously retired from Warframe’s reward tables and will bring a wealth of long-awaited content to players on all platforms.

“There has never been a better time to play Warframe,” said Digital Extremes COO Sheldon Carter. “Prime Resurgence will bring powerful Prime Warframes to players that participate, and will create an exciting experience for newcomers and Warframe collectors while preparing everyone for the launch of The New War.”

A new trailer highlights Warframe’s story so far and features a first-look at the game’s upcoming cinematic CG short teasing an old friend, now turned enemy:  

The full The New War cinematic trailer will premiere during Devstream #158 on November 30 at 10 a.m. ET/ 3 pm GMT, where more unveils, giveaways, and exclusive Twitch drops will also take place. 

Beginning November 16, each week Warframe players will have an opportunity to instantly unlock or earn two Prime Warframes, along with their Prime Weapons and Accessories from a new event shop located in Maroo’s Bazaar. Former Dax, Varzia, the shop’s new vendor, will help players enact the Prime Resurgence, recovering Prime Warframes who lay dormant in Orokin technology using curious new resources: Aya and Regal Aya.

The New War is Warframe’s biggest Cinematic Quest expansion in its 8-year development history and will offer players more ways to engage with its sprawling sci-fi universe. New playable characters will be added for the first time, along with new environments, threats and challenges, plus the addition of Warframe’s 48th unique Warframe into the game, all while answering longstanding questions about its bold and intimate story. Arriving in December, The New War will also introduce new Customizations, Weapons, and Accessories, giving players limitless power to look and play the way they want. Furthering its commitment to players, Digital Extremes will bring Cross Save and Cross Play features and Warframe for Mobile to players in 2022. New, existing, and returning players can jump in now and start preparing to unite opposing forces as the Tenno and heroic villains save the Origin System from the invading Sentient threat. A Warframe Quest Guide is available to help players prepare for war.

Prime Resurgence: Assemble The Prime Vanguard

How It Works: Instantly Access or Play to Earn

A new in-game event store will be introduced to Warframe in Maroo’s Bazaar on November 16 where players can awaken the ancient Orokin Prime Vanguard by interacting with Varzia and exchanging a new curious currency, Aya and Regal Aya, for Void Relics or fully built Prime Warframes, Weapons, and Accessories:

• Gather Aya from select missions and bounties or Purchase Regal Aya
• Exchange Aya for Void Relics | Open Void Relics for Prime Parts
• Exchange Regal Aya for Fully Built Prime Gear

For step-by-step details visit: https://www.warframe.com/prime-resurgence. 

The Prime Advantage

During unvaulting periods, Prime Warframes, Weapons, and Accessories can be instantly unlocked or earned, allowing players to tap into the power and prestige of the Prime Warframe. A Prime Warframe, Weapon, or Accessory represents technology as it was during the height of the Orokin Era and boasts superior performance and other advantages over its non-primed counterpart. Prime Warframes, in particular, offer increased base stats and additional polarity slots offering maximum customization, among other features like enhanced visual style.
