Friday, September 10, 2021 — From today until September 29th, the fantasy city-builder game Elvenar gets ready to celebrate this year’s Autumn Zodiac event. 

Players will meet Chyou the halfling, a trained monk and a worshiper of Kirit and Karak who will guide the players’ path among the local halfling artists. Together with her, players will celebrate the zodiacs and await the arrival of another magical evolving bear: the Red Panda Master. 

By following the questline and fulfilling tasks for Chyou, players will be rewarded with Golden Keys which they can use to open Spheres containing all kinds of prizes. Each Sphere players open will also reward them with a small amount of Star Dust. It gathers in their progress bar towards the special Grand Prizes, including Evolution Artifacts for the Red Panda Master, this year’s new bear. 

The Red Panda Master will provide players with population, culture and other bonuses depending on their chapter and its evolution stage.  

Also new this year is the Royal Prize Pass. This is a special Premium option which players can purchase to get extra rewards with each Grand Prize acquired in this event. The Royal Prize lane becomes available with purchasing the Royal Prize Pass, which can be purchased at any time during the event. Once unlocked, for every 20 Stardust collected, players can simultaneously receive one of the Royal Prizes, containing even more rewards for their city. 

A detailed explanation of the game mechanics is available in this video: 

Elvenar is available for browser, iOS and Android devices and can be played for free. 

About Elvenar

To celebrate the Launch DESTINYbit and Ravenscourt created this launch trailer:

Dice Legacy on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1229460/Dice_Legacy/

Players can finally dive into one of the most unique games of 2021. A unique blend of survival city builder, roguelike and board games that shows a glimpse into the future of digital tabletop gaming. They need to build and expand their newly founded settlement while dealing with various challenges to survive in the mysterious and uncharted ringworld they’ve just arrived at. But every obstacle can be overcome with a good throw of the dice. What does fate hold in store for you?

Maybe you will find a way to even the odds or even make the dice favour your desired outcome.

About Dice Legacy:

Dice Legacy is a roguelike survival city-builder. Players use dice to establish a medieval town in a fascinating ringworld and grow their society.

Every action is based on the roll of a six-sided dice, from planting and harvesting to establishing supply chains or combat. In Dice Legacy, the dice represent the work force. As a ruler, builder, conqueror or trader the players will need to provide their dice with nourishment and care or witness their subjects eventually fade away. Balancing exploration, resource gathering, building and conquering is key whilst the ever present threat of mysterious factions looms in the fog of war.

Players will soon realize luck is nothing without a good strategy behind it – and dice versa.

Sony Interactive Entertainment is pleased to debut its 2021 brand spot for PlayStation, “PlayStation – Play Has No Limits”.

Welcome to the city where play is elevated to extraordinary new heights. Where every move is crucial and the game means everything.

This new film for Sony Interactive Entertainment, the maker of PlayStation, takes the viewer on a journey through a city like none other. A world that is uniquely PlayStation and shows what can happen when play is taken to an unprecedented level.

This powerful new spot ignites the feeling of exhilaration that comes with PlayStation’s unapparelled gameplay experiences, as dozens of elaborate characters travel through a city laid out like a chessboard.

The film tells the story of two rival Kings, who battle in through an epic game and follows the progress of a Pawn, the most unassuming piece on the board, as she makes her way through the city. On her way she encounters different challenges posed by the opposition, but ultimately makes her way to the rival King’s penthouse to win the game for her team.

To find out some additional details about the new global spot, check out SIE Blog for a post from Eric Lempel, Sony Interactive Entertainment’s SVP and Head of Global Marketing.

Today’s PlayStation Showcase provided players with a tantalising first glimpse of God of War Ragnarök, two big surprises from Insomniac Games, as well as exciting updates on upcoming titles from PlayStation Studios and the industry’s most imaginative developers.

See the full list of announcements below. Or, if you missed it, you can check out the full Showcase here.

In addition to the showing of Santa Monica Studio’s action-adventure, viewers were treated to news that two exciting new titles are in development from veteran Insomniac Games Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and Marvel’s Wolverine, the news that Gran Turismo 7 will launch on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 on Friday, 4 March 2022, and much more. 

First look at God of War Ragnarök

The team at Santa Monica Studios has unveiled the first look at the highly anticipated sequel that picks up a few years after the events of God of War (2018). The freezing winds of Fimbulwinter have come to Midgard, making survival for Kratos, Atreus, and Mimir in the Norse wilds even more challenging than before. 

While the last game built an enormous amount of trust and understanding between father and son, there is still a great deal of complexity in their interactions – especially after the revelation of Atreus’ Giant heritage and the hidden prophecy only Kratos saw.  Together, Kratos and Atreus will have to make a choice about which path they will take. Whatever they choose will define the fate of all those living in the Nine Realms as God of War Ragnarök approaches. 

Check out the trailer here.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and Marvel’s Wolverine revealed 

Veteran developer Insomniac Games has created two new exciting titles for PlayStation 5 consoles. Firstly, players will continue the journey of both Peter Parker and Miles Morales in their most epic single-player adventure yet with Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, coming exclusively to PlayStation 5 consoles in 2023.

Today’s game footage trailer is merely just a glimpse at what’s in store in terms of the new abilities our heroes will acquire, suits they will wear (more on that some other time), and the villains that will try to hunt them down. Speaking of villains, make sure to check out the trailer to see who’s coming to Spidey 2!

Another exciting announcement was the first glimpse of Marvel’s Wolverine. Marvel’s Wolverine is a standalone game being directed by Brian Horton (creative director) and Cameron Christian (game director), who recently led the creative efforts on Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales. 

Check out the trailer for Marvel’s Wolverine!

Gran Turismo 7 arrives on PS5 and PS4 March 4

Gran Turismo7 is both the culmination of the series which answers the expectations of Gran Turismo fans throughout the years, and at the same time it is a title that marks a beginning of a difficult mission to contain the full breadth of car culture from the past into a single video game.  Even more exciting is the firm release date, coming March 4, 2022!

At today’s PlayStation Showcase livestream, Tango Gameworks revealed a thrilling glimpse of Ghostwire: Tokyo through an exciting, brand-new trailer that stars the menacing Hannya.

Watch The Official Ghostwire: Tokyo Hannya Trailer Here:

Hannya has unleashed a catastrophic fog upon Tokyo that wipes out most of its population. In the aftermath, he leads the Faceless, a menacing group of loyal zealots who bend to his will. Where smiling citizens once walked now stands an army of one-of-a-kind creatures only Tango Gameworks can create: The Visitors.

Inspired by Japanese legends, folklore, and tales, The Visitors are striking, imaginative enemies that lurk throughout Tokyo. Many characters are from famed dark stories like “Kuchisake-onna,” characters that stay true to Tango’s desire to honour Tokyo through an authentic, never-before-seen game world. 

Awakening in the famed Shibuya Crossing, Akito finds himself partially possessed by a strange spirit and surrounded by the dangerous creatures invading Tokyo. Desperate to ensure the safety of his sister, Akito must ally with the spirit and master powerful abilities to battle his way through Tokyo’s dangerous streets. 

With the power and speed of the PlayStation 5® console, Tokyo is vividly brought to life thanks to the console’s stunning ray-tracing technology. As players walk its streets, reflections of gorgeous neon lights drip onto puddles that become glassy mirrors of the world’s vibrancy and beauty. Ghostwire: Tokyo also delivers faster loading times to keep players immersed, and haptic controls that allow players to tangibly feel their actions while traversing Tokyo’s streets and rooftops. 

Ghostwire: Tokyo will be available worldwide for PlayStation 5® and PC in Spring 2022. For more information and news, stay tuned to our official website and follow us on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube.
