Infinity Kingdom is celebrating its six-month milestone and thanking its supportive player base with a banquets of gifts 

YOOZOO Games, Singapore – 23.07.2021 | From July 28 through  July 31, Infinity Kingdom will commemorate a half-year since launch — with celebrations taking place both within and outside of the game. The Infinity Kingdom team will be sending fantastic gifts to players to thank them for their ongoing support.

Infinity Kingdom is a cartoon-style strategy mobile game, set in the legendary continent of Norheim where players must defend three kingdoms against the chaos wrought by pesky Gnome armies. They must join arms with other kingdoms as well as protect their own territories. 

Across the celebrations, players can complete tasks to score free Castle Decorations which can be upgraded to gorgeous skins using Gems. Players can coordinate their decorations with the festivities to truly celebrate this event with the IK team!

The celebration is the perfect opportunity to gather Dragon Crystals and Immortal Fragments by exchanging Fruit of Hope picked from the sacred tree of Elpus. Each lord will get free chances to pick fruits, while Gems can be exchanged to gain extra chances. 

Short on gems? Have no fear: logging in daily, you’ll have the opportunity to win various items and games. Both the “Giggle” emoticon and the emoji “Adore” are also rewards for players who complete celebration tasks and help push back the evil Gnomes. 

The IK team has introduced a page dedicated to the festivities. Here players can view personal stats — previews of IK’s future updates and plans — as well as a special little project commemorating all the memories we’ve made so far in the past 6 months. Content on the page can be saved to either keep or share on social media. 

Following its successful launch, Infinity Kingdom has received recommendations from the Google Play Store in more than 30 countries (including the UK and Germany) with awesome reviews.

World of Warships: Legends celebrates two year anniversary with boatload of content

23 July  – A summer festival to celebrate World of Warships’ Legends second birthday kicks off from 26 July, with a new campaign, Arpeggio of Blue Steel -Ars Nova- collaboration and a retrospective Bureau project, uniting the whole variety of activities with its flavour and bringing free in-game goods for the players as a gift. Plus, Arms Race and Tier VII ships are coming to Ranked mode as USN alternate battleships headlined by Kansas leave early access to become researchable.

One of the main attractions of the Anniversary Festival, is a fresh new campaign “Shock and Awe” and is focused on German destroyer ZF-6. 100. T milestones, which within five weeks provide the path to a flurry of rewards with the ship herself as the cherry on top, obtainable with Admiralty Backing. Coming with almost cruiser-like impressive AA suite including a consumable, ZF-6 features torpedoes faster than those of her peers with a drawback of slightly decreased range. 

Arpeggio of Blue Steel -Ars Nova- goods arrive to the store with a selection of items to choose from as a surprise appearance at the Summer Festival. This collaboration brings two new Kongō-based battleships: Haruna and Kirishima, five diverse commanders and more, available through special crates.

Another festival activity, the special Birthday Bureau project, goes back to the significant landmarks of Year II, including events such as Halloween, New Year, Black Friday, and introduction of Italian ships, among others. Players will be awarded with corresponding festive crates at each project stage.

Heading to the high seas with their guns bristling are USN Battleships Nevada, Tennessee and North Carolina which leave early access to become researchable in the tech tree on the way to Tier VII Kansas. Just in time to wreak havoc on the opponents: Arms Race mechanic is coming to Ranked after being battle-tested by the latest Arena season to make the celebrations even more fun. At the same time, Tier VII ships reinforce the Ranked battles line-up for the first time ever. Additionally, historical camouflages for a handful of signature ships (such as Bismarck, Charles Martel and Lexington) become available for paint.

More good things destroyer players can look forward to this summer – Regia Marina gets two dedicated destroyer commanders: Luigi Rizzo and Giuseppe Fulgosi. The former is all about speed, including base trait that improves Engine Boost. The latter is a sneaky one: improving Smoke Generator consumable is his signature move. Capping off the Italian part of the summer is all-new Paolo Emilio, a destroyer obtainable for global XP.

Two-year anniversary celebrations are upon us, so grab your free ticket to the Summer Festival in the in-game store and turn the tide.

Action RPG Hindsight 20/20 Launches onto Next-Gen, PC 9 September

AAA Veterans at Triple-I Games to Release Debut Indie Title on PlayStation 4 & 5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC

AUSTIN, Texas – 22 July 2021 – Hindsight 20/20 – Wrath of the Raakshasa, the action-RPG with morality-based decisions from the BioWare, ArenaNet, and Sucker Punch veterans at Triple-I Games, takes players on an epic journey full of difficult decisions on PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Nintendo Switch™, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Windows via Steam on Thursday, 9 September. 

Young one-armed warrior Jehan stands between two wildly different worlds. Growing up in the kingdom of Champaner, he learned to abhor violence. He chose pacifism whenever possible, at worst using a stun baton in self-defense. That was before his father’s murder, before the virus started turning Champaner’s citizens into bloodthirsty Raakshasas. Now Jehan finds himself at the crossroads of fate itself, and his decisions will shape the future of the entire world.

Mold the future, one choice at a time. Uphold Champaner’s values with a stun rod in Merciful combat, or embrace the sweet finality of sharpened steel in Ruthless battle. Wield special abilities from throwing the sword like a boomerang to stunning entire crowds of enemies. Confront bosses reacting to Merciful and Ruthless combat differently, effectively creating two different encounters. 

Jehan’s actions — combat, dialogue, even who he chooses to help and when — alter how passerbys perceive him throughout his journey. What may seem like the “right” path early on can have unexpected implications further down the road, leading to 10 different endings. Explore a gorgeous watercolor world blending magic and technology in a highly divergent story encouraging multiple playthroughs to see all of the different possibilities.

On PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, Hindsight 20/20 runs at 4K/60FPS with improved post-processing effects like light bloom and ambient occlusion. The PlayStation 5 version provides a more immersive experience via the DualShock’s haptic feedback and adaptive triggers. 

“Hindsight was developed around our custom-built Experience Engine that grants players deeper choices and consequences,” said Hemanshu Chhabra, creative director at Triple-I Games. “We don’t want our dilemmas to be black and white, and we hope our game makes you carefully consider your actions when it releases in September.”

Hindsight 20/20 will be available in English on PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation®4, Nintendo Switch™, Xbox One, and Windows via Steam on Thursday, 9 September.

To learn more, please visit Hindsight 20/20’sofficial site, Steam page, Twitter, Instagram, Discord channel, and Facebook page.

About Triple-I Studios

Consisting of veterans from BioWare, ArenaNet, Sucker Punch Studios, and Amazon Games Studios, Triple-I Games came together when Hemanshu Chhabra came to his friends with a vision: to make a game that would help a younger, self-critical version of himself understand what “hindsight 20/20” really means.

First New IP in 25 Years from Legendary Publisher Behind Duke Nukem, Max Payne, Prey

THE NETHERLANDS — 22 July 2021 — Residual, a new breed of survival platformer from OrangePixel and legendary publisher Apogee Entertainment, crash-lands on Steam for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch on Thursday, 9 September. The PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 releases will lift off later this year.

Alone against the void, one explorer must survive an unpredictable alien world, generated anew with every fresh start. Repair the ship against incredible odds as rain lashes, high winds push back, blazing heat or chilling cold strike, and the secrets of a long-lost civilization make themselves known. Only creative puzzle-solving, resourceful crafting, and an eye for escaping subterranean doom will bring the intrepid spacefarer home.

Witness the Nature Engine, a proprietary procedural generation system which governs everything from climate and minerals to hostile plant life from a set of nature-based rules. For every planet among thousands of possibilities, a different ecosystem challenges what adventurers have learned with new twists. In the absence of fishing pools, find a new food source. In the face of long, cold nights, make haste to chart new ground during the day. Hot deserts bring plentiful solar power; what will you spend it on?

Choose between a male, female, or non-binary protagonist and venture forth alongside the quirkiest snarkcasm-filled robot this side of the galactic core: your Personal Disaster Bot, Pedey-B! A constant companion, Pedey-B guides its friends(?) through the journey, offering helpful advice, sarcastic well-meaning tips, and random commentary.

“Look, my words were a bit harsh the last time I was asked for a quote,” said Peedy-B in an apologetic, albeit synthesized voice. “We’re a real team here—even if I do 98.7% of the work and come up with the plans and—”

“Residual invites players to tell their own survival stories in a forgotten galaxy where no two planets are exactly alike,” chimes in Pascal Bestebroer of studio OrangePixel. “Sharing stories from our gaming is the best part of this business, so it was very important to me that Residual come to many different platforms and have options for a gentler survival adventure.”

Residual lands planetside Thursday, 9 September on Steam for PC, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch for $19.99 with support for 11 languages. The PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 releases will follow later this year. For more on OrangePixel and Apogee’s galactic adventure, check out the game website, follow the studio on Twitter, Discord, and Facebook, and tune in for Pascal’s weekly devlogs on YouTube. Hang out with Apogee on its official website or follow the legends on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and Discord.

About OrangePixel

OrangePixel is Pascal Bestebroer, a Dutch independent game developer best known for the half-million-selling twin-stick dungeon crawler Heroes of Loot and dropping weekly game-dev knowledge bombs on his YouTube channel. His studio name? Well, he tried designing a logo and only got as far as a single orange pixel.

About Apogee Entertainment

Apogee Software’s pioneering journey began in 1987, when Scott Miller decided to split his new game, Kingdom of Kroz, into three episodes, with the first episode available as free shareware. The “Apogee model” of distribution revolutionized PC gaming at the time and catapulted Apogee Software to global renown. As an indie publisher, Apogee (and it’s later incarnation, 3D Realms) would introduce the world to id Software, Remedy Entertainment, Parallax Software, and other video game superstars in the making. As a developer, Apogee would innovate and inspire in equal measure, creating treasured characters and franchises like Duke Nukem, Shadow Warrior, and Prey en route to earning over a billion dollars in commercial revenue.

The new Apogee Entertainment, with founder Scott Miller and longtime partner Terry Nagy at the helm, will empower today’s incredibly talented indie developers, paving the way for their global success with innovative ideas, cutting-edge marketing, and the same fearlessness that changed the industry.

SAN FRANCISCO – July 21, 2021 – Today, Zynga Inc. (Nasdaq: ZNGA), a global leader in interactive entertainment, announced the upcoming CSR Racing 2 (CSR2) “Europe Series”, a new in-game multi-event that will challenge players to race across prime tracks throughout Europe.

Following the success of the recent America Series in CSR2, the Europe Series will rev up its engines beginning on August 12 and run through October 29 of this year.

The finale will take players to the legendary Nürburgring track, where they will have a chance to win the officially licensed Mercedes-AMG F1 W11 EQ Performance featuring its striking black livery as driven by the seven-time World Drivers’ Champion Lewis Hamilton.  The in-game driver of the W11 will be depicted wearing Hamilton’s black and purple helmet, his black race suit seated in the black liveried car – all designed as part of the team’s statement against racism and discrimination in all forms.

 “For the first time in CSR2 history, we are bringing an F1 car to our game that not only celebrates one of the world’s most iconic racing cars, but also lets players experience the power and performance of this car in-game.”
