Massive FREE expansion for Space Crew coming on October 21st!

Get 60% off Space Crew on Steam today!

London, UK – 11th October 2021 – Are you up for a stellar challenge in the far-flung reaches of the Milky Way? Curve Digital and Runner Duck are excited to announce that the intergalactic crew management strategy game, Space Crew, is launching a free Legendary Edition expansion across PC, Nintendo Switch,  Xbox One and PlayStation 4 on 21st October 2021.

Titled Space Crew: Legendary Edition, the vast new expansion is free to existing owners of Space Crew. It will include aeons of new content including the epic Android Ambush campaign and for the first time – the chance to take your crew off-ship onto stations, outposts and new vessels in Away Team missions. Featuring a new star-system to explore with new missions as well as a range of special features and gameplay experiences, the Legendary Edition expansion is the largest content expansion for any Crew game in the history of time and space.

Space Crew: Legendary Edition – the sequel to the STEAM chart topping title Bomber Crew – warps players to the far-flung future to fight an intergalactic battle on a legendary scale. Armed with a carefully chosen crew and a fully customisable spaceship, plucky captains must protect Earth and venture across the galaxy to stave off alien and android threats.

“We’re really excited to be launching the Legendary Edition for Space Crew” says Jon Wingrove, co-founder of Runner Duck Games. “We want to say a huge thank you to our wonderful community for their amazing support and we’re delighted to be able to give players more content to blast off this October. 

Space Crew: Legendary Edition will feature:

• A brand new campaign – Players will take on a droid army led by rogue androids previously allied with the United Defence Force. Battle against a whole host of new Enemy Champions and ships across new missions, with new gear, liveries and upgrades available for victorious Captains to unlock. 
• Away Team missions – Leave your ship and venture on foot for the first time with three of your crew onto outposts and large vessels in the all NEW Away Team missions. Selecting the right team will be critical for survival as Away Team missions consist of exploration, puzzles, or combat… sometimes even against the clock!
• Legendary Crew members – Build and personalise your ultimate crew by discovering and rescuing legendary crew members with amazing abilities and superior stats, to bolster your efforts against the enemy threat.

About Space Crew: Legendary Edition

Space Crew: Legendary Edition is as varied as it is challenging, with aspiring captains having to manage their crew members one-by-one during missions to ensure objectives with ‘minimal’ casualties. Phasmid attacks, android armies, black holes, falling oxygen levels, incursions from other-worldly organisms, system failures and more are just some of the challenges crews will have to face head-on, with the AI always ready to chuck something dastardly into the mix. 

New captains can take the helm for £19.99 / $24.99 / €24.99, while existing Space Crew owners will be able to upgrade to Space Crew: Legendary Edition for free when it launches.

To support the impending launch of the expansion, Curve Digital is running a Space Crew 60% off sale from 11th October to 19th October on Steam.

Farming Life, a new farming game combining farm simulation, economic strategy and elements of builder games, will debut on PC as early as on October 18 this year. In this “farming SimCity”, the creators focused on varied and relaxing gameplay, while giving players a lot of freedom in running the farm.

The new farming game is being developed by the Polish studio Pyramid Games S.A., known for such games as Castle Flipper and Rover Mechanic Simulator. It will be published by Gaming Factory S.A. and Ultimate Games S.A.

Farming Life is a relaxing single-player farming game with isometric graphics, combining elements of a farm simulator, economic strategy (manager/tycoon) and builder games. The player’s goal is to restore the family farm to its former glory, and the title provides them with a lot of freedom when it comes to running it. It is the player who will decide, among others, how to develop the farm, what to invest in and what production branches to prioritise.

Farming Life – Release Date Announcement Trailer:

“Farming Life has been in development for nearly 3 years, and the gameplay here is by definition calm and focused on relaxation, so we decided to simplify some of the elements of the farmer’s life. The different options for farming and breeding are quite diverse. In addition, players are given a lot of freedom when it comes to management and decision-making, which makes it possible to create completely unique farms, based on individual visions and ideas” – said Jacek Wyszyński, CEO at Pyramid Games S.A.

Farming Life will not lack random events. The farmer’s life can be impacted by additional factors, for example an above-average rainfall or a fox hunting the farm animals. The creators have also prepared, among others, additional tasks that the player can carry out for the mayor and other residents, as well as elements of competing with other farms.

“Farming Life offers many different possibilities. Spatial planning of our farm, investing in buildings and equipment, planting vegetables, fruits and crops, animal husbandry or hiring and managing employees. These are just some examples of what will await the players. Farming Life is also to some extent a game similar to SimCity, although – instead of a city – our focus is, of course, on the farm. This game should also appeal to players who like productions like Stardew Valley and Farm Manager 2021” – added Rafał Jelonek, COO at Ultimate Games S.A.

Farming Life – features:

• farm management and development;
• relaxing gameplay;
• many types of plants and livestock;
• great freedom in farming;
• caring for animals and tending to crops;
• competing for the title of the best farm in the city.

The release date for PC (Steam) is set for October 18, 2021.

Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition and More Coming Soon – Plus Details on Upcoming Special Events and Updates in GTA Online

Later this month marks a very special anniversary for Rockstar Games: 20 years since the original release of Grand Theft Auto III — the game that set players loose in the sprawling, three-dimensional metropolis of Liberty City with a new and unprecedented sense of freedom and immersion. In addition to carving a new path for the open world genre, Grand Theft Auto III established Grand Theft Auto as a cultural phenomenon, alongside its two subsequent — and equally legendary — entries in the series, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

We’d like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all the Grand Theft Auto fans who have supported the games over the past two decades. Your love and appreciation for these games has helped push the Grand Theft Auto series forward with every iteration.

In honor of the upcoming anniversary, today we are excited to announce that all three games will be coming to current generation platforms later this year in Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and the Rockstar Games Launcher on PC. Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition will feature across-the-board upgrades including graphical improvements and modern gameplay enhancements for all three titles, while still maintaining the classic look and feel of the originals. We’re extremely excited to share more about these groundbreaking titles in the coming weeks — stay tuned!

To prepare for launch, we will begin removing existing versions of the classic titles from digital retailers next week. For more information, please visit Rockstar Games Support. In addition, Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition will be coming to iOS and Android in the first half of 2022.

Plus, as part of the 20th anniversary celebration for GTAIII, look for a cavalcade of special gear to collect in Grand Theft Auto Online throughout upcoming events this Fall, including commemorative clothing and liveries.

We’ll have more details on how to acquire these in the weeks ahead as part of our ongoing events in GTA Online. This month’s GTA Online events will also have some special surprises — including the upcoming possibility of some unusual activity occurring in and around Southern San Andreas…

We are also continuing to improve and evolve GTA Online. As you may have noticed, we recently began cycling select Adversary Modes and Player Jobs in and out of the game. GTA Online offers a hugely diverse array of gameplay, hosting over 1,000 Rockstar-created Jobs and tens of millions more player-created Jobs since launch. By beginning to cycle the Rockstar-created Jobs in and out of the game over time, not only will we be freeing up space for new missions and modes in the future, but we are also improving the game’s matchmaking by focusing the community on a more streamlined list of Jobs from week-to-week.

This will also allow us to bring back Jobs at various times for special or seasonal events and help reduce some of the lesser-liked Jobs, as well as helping surface some of our slept-on classics or the community’s quirkier favorites alongside special bonuses, like this past week’s return of Offense Defense, Sumo, and more. 

We are also looking at ways to improve the GTA Online experience for new and returning players in the upcoming release of GTA Online for the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S next March – stay tuned to the Rockstar Newswire for details on this and more information about the expanded and enhanced releases of GTAV and GTA Online in the months to come.

And later this year, get ready to go on an exciting new adventure in GTA Online as some well-known contacts and familiar friends need your help in expanding their “legit business” — with many more surprises soon to be revealed!
