PAWTUCKET, RI – June 29, 2021 – Hasbro, Inc. (NASDAQ: HAS), Universal Brand Development and Amblin Entertainment today revealed the first-ever TRANSFORMERS X Jurassic Park collaboration. The iconic T.Rex and Ford Explorer from the blockbuster 1993 film, Jurassic Park, are now TRANSFORMERS robots – TYRANNOCON REX and AUTOBOT JP93. The new TRANSFORMERS X Jurassic Park figure and vehicle pack celebrates the groundbreaking, ultimate thrill ride, Jurassic Park, which brought audiences to an island theme park populated by dinosaurs created from prehistoric DNA… and we all know what happened next!

Welcome…to Jurassic Park. TYRANNOCON REX is on the loose, and it’s up to AUTOBOT JP93 to track her down and stop her from wreaking havoc. Both figures feature a combined 260 unique decos and details inspired by fan-favorite moments from Jurassic Park. The TYRANNOCON REX figure converts into T.rex mode in 27 steps and features detailed molded dino texture. The figure features an all-new head mold and stands at 7 inches.

Fans will also enjoy a nostalgic interpretation of one of the iconic vehicles from the film, as the AUTOBOT JP93 figure converts into licensed Ford Explorer mode in 18 steps. The figure stands at 5.5 inches and comes with a blaster accessory that can attach to the figure in both modes. Dr. Alan Grant and the Game Warden inspired both the JP93 hat in bot mode and the JP93 blaster accessory.

Both figures are contained within packaging inspired by the unforgettable scene in Jurassic Park when the T. rex gets loose from her enclosure and crushes the Ford Explorer. The packaging also includes a cardboard backdrop illustration of the T. rex’s cage, so that fans can recreate the iconic scene, in addition to T. rex footprint graphics on the back of the pack.

TRANSFORMERS robots have always been… More than Meets the Eye, but now, through the TRANSFORMERS Collaborative, fans can experience these larger-than-life characters as they team up, mash up, and meet up with other characters, teams and people who share this same special quality. It is a world of constant change where things are not what they seem.

The TYRANNOCON REX figure and AUTOBOT JP93 vehicle pack are available now at $104.99 for pre-order on Amazon.com. A second release of the figure and vehicle pack will be available starting December 1, 2021, via HasbroPulse.com and select retailers worldwide.

About Pixile Studios
Pixile was founded in 2011 to create online multiplayer games that are accessible enough for new players to enjoy right away, but deep enough to keep them coming back for more. After completing the competitive multiplayer tower defense game Stratosphere, Pixile is now fully focused on Super Animal Royale, which delivers a whole new perspective on the battle royale genre.

New maps, weapons and missons and a hardcore mode have also been added to the game

Gaijin Entertainment and Darkflow Software announce that the Battle of Berlin is now available to all Enlisted players. Game balance, game modes and the progression system have been thoroughly polished during the Closed Beta testing period of this new campaign for the online military shooter. New missions and 11 extra levels of progression have also been added to the Battle of Berlin that unlock new squads, weapons and military vehicles. The new Battle Pass season has also started in Enlisted that brings new rewards for all three available campaigns.

One of the new missions will take players to the Lehrter Bahnhof railway terminal. This is the location where the Wehrmacht will go on a counter-offensive in “Invasion” mode, where it will be the Red Army holding their ground. The train station is large enough inside to use armored vehicles, while the infantry storm the administrative buildings. New squads, weapons, tanks and planes can now be used in these battles, including the 137 Infantry Division flamethrower squad equipped with the ROKS-2, soldiers with DPM machine guns, Yak-3 fighter planes, Me.410 B-1 attack planes, SU-85M  and Panzer IV/70 (A) SPGs and more.

Lone Fighters mode with only one soldier per player instead of the squad have been significantly revamped in Enlisted. From now on it’s focused on the needs of extremely challenging and hardcore shooter games. Friendly fire is turned on here, so as in real combat one has to watch their line of fire, and be very careful where they throw their grenades and explosive packs. The interface has also changed, i.e. the minimap and kill log are no longer visible in this game mode. So in order to be sure if the enemy shot was a kill, players need to watch the fallen body for movement, just like in real life. It’s important to add that the signature Squad Mode of the game is still all about the golden middle between the dynamic and realistic approaches to shooter gameplay.

The new season of Battle Pass brings new rare weapons and vehicles: the experimental Degtyarev PDM-42 SMG, a fully automatic M1A1 Carbine version produced for the US Marines, the Finnish SMG KP-26 by Aimo Lahti, an experimental rifle based on the Gewehr 43 with 7.9 mm Kurz ammo, as well as five tanks and one plane. Other Battle Pass rewards will help players with soldier recruiting, leveling up, gear and customization.

The full list of the content added in the Update as well as the Battle Pass reward list are available at the official website. https://enlisted.net

QUEENSLAND, Australia – June 29, 2021 – Paint the Town Red, the first-person brawler with sandbox combat levels and a massive roguelike mode from South East Games, bursts out of Early Access where more than 400,000 bruisers created carnage, and onto Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PlayStation 5 and 4 on Thursday, July 29, alongside the debut of 1.0 on Steam for Windows PC, Mac, and Linux.

Originally released in 2015 to Early Access, version 1.0 of Paint the Town Red evolved from a violent voxel sandbox into a deeply-customizable action experience. Slay foes in fast-paced, visceral first-person melee action using fisticuffs, class abilities, and wielding from a selection of more than 200 weapons. Attack with improvised armaments like barstools, implements of pain like shurikens, and say hasta la vista to foes with deadly firearms. 

Tackle the roguelike Beneath mode, working for a clandestine organization that stands against undead terrors and eldritch horrors in a subterranean world. Pick from five different classes with distinct stats and abilities, such as the nimble Spectre who possesses the ability to teleport and the stalwart Vanguard capable of healing allies. Uncover the mysteries of this shifting, procedurally-generated world, and defeat the four Elder Gods.

Cause mayhem in Scenarios mode, a series of themed sandboxes where brawlers must kill ‘em all and let the Elder Gods sort ‘em out. Fight to the bloody end in the Arena mode, with an endless mode for warriors to push themselves to the limits. Use modifiers to customize the experience, enabling prospective punishers to bring a gun to a swashbuckling pirate fight or enjoy a slow-mo disco demolition night with an authorized SUPERHOT mode.

PC fighters can expand the fun even further with a built-in level editor and full Steam Workshop support, with more than 8,000 items and counting including custom levels, texture packs, and music packs. A PC-exclusive online co-op mode allows up to 4 rowdy brawlers to make a bloody mess in Scenarios or pummel the Elder Gods in Beneath mode together.

“Paint the Town Red’s lightning-fast, gory, and tactile combat makes it such a blast to play,” said Matthew Carr, South East Games, co-founder. “The simplistic voxel-based graphics present the game as clean and sterile at first glance, but once the fists start flying, all of the viscera and fleshy bits really add some colourful details.”

Paint the Town Red launches Thursday, July 29 on Steam for Windows PC, Mac, and Linux, as well as PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch for $19.99. A Playstation 5 release will follow shortly afterward. Paint the Town Red supports English audio and interface, with interface support for French, Italian, German, Spanish, Arabic, Bulgarian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, Greek, Hungarian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Portuguese (Brazil), Romanian, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Swedish, Thai, Traditional Chinese, Turkish, and Ukrainian.

Gaming metaverse unveils bold strategy to reduce environmental through layer 2, carbon credits compensation and trees growing charity support actions impact by up to 99%

HONG KONG – June 29th, 2021 – The Sandbox, the virtual world built onto the blockchain and a subsidiary of Animoca Brands, has unveiled a Zero Carbon plan to address the environmental impact of NFTs with a multi-step strategy currently in development. The Sandbox team is seeking to bring creators and gamers together in a persistent virtual world that provides secure ownership via NFTs while using up to 100 times less energy than traditional blockchain transactions.

The Sandbox has laid out several commitments in reducing environmental impact:

• New Efficient Technology: The Sandbox is migrating to a new eco-friendly NFT layer 2 technical solution this summer that will use up to 100X less energy than Ethereum.
• Carbon Removal Offset: The Sandbox has begun acquiring carbon credits for reversing emissions with carbon removals via blockchain based platforms, such as Nori and Offsetra, providing transparency on the compensation. The company has already calculated its carbon footprint associated with NFTs for 2021 to be equivalent to 350 tonnes of CO2 and acquired $Carbon Credits. Check Nori Sandbox Certificate of Carbon Removal. In addition, The Sandbox also purchased 200 tonnes of CO2 removal credits from Offsetra. You can visit The Sandbox’s profile page to view the impact and proof of certification.
• Tree Growing: The Sandboxhas renewed its partnership collaboration with WeForest, a forest restoration charity it previously partnered with in 2014 to plant nearly 9,000 Mangrove trees in Madagascar, and committed that for every hectare users buy of virtual LANDS in The Sandbox, 1% of proceeds goes to WeForest to protect and restore forests in Ethiopia, Zambia and Brazil. The Sandbox will engage with additional nature protection foundations in its ongoing efforts to make a real impact in the physical world. You can follow The Sandbox‘s tree regrowing progress on the WeForest website.

The Sandbox wants to set the standard for transparency and best practices in the world of NFTs and encourages a healthy discourse about the tools that can be used to reduce environmental impact and the uses of NFTs and blockchain technology.

“The Sandbox is committed to building a vibrant and environmentally friendly gaming ecosystem while fully supporting secure content ownership, creating new jobs and offering economic opportunities” said Sebastien Borget, COO and Co-Founder of The Sandbox. “As a pioneer in the blockchain gaming space, we’re taking steps to mitigate energy usage by up to 99% now, and will continue to look for additional solutions such as our engagement with WeForest to protect and restore forests in Ethiopia, Zambia and Brazil.

In the meantime, The Sandbox has recently launched the beta for its Marketplace, allowing artists from the Artist Fund to monetise their NFTs. They have pledged to reduce the number of minted NFTs while improving the technical functionality of the Marketplace. To support the artists from the Artist Fund, NFT drop events will continue while waiting for the new environmentally-friendly technology to come online.

Under the new efficient technology powered by Polygon, NFT mining will generate less than 1% of the carbon emission that it currently produces on the standard Ethereum blockchain. The Sandbox is also considering other options that are currently in development if a more efficient technological solution were to appear.

This commitment to addressing the environmental impact has led The Sandbox to partner with Nori, who were part of 2019s Techstars Sustainability program. Nori coordinates the creation and administration of carbon removal projects, starting with regenerative agriculture projects that store carbon in soil thanks to the large co-benefits including water retention and improvements to soil health and quality. Through working with Nori, The Sandbox will be responsible for a number of Nori Carbon Removal Tonnes (NRTs), each NRT representing a tonne of CO2 removed from the atmosphere and stored in a terrestrial reserve.

“The team at The Sandbox is paying attention. They see that this is not a zero-sum game; we can innovate in technologies like blockchain and take care of our environment,” said Alexsandra Guerra, Co-Founder of Nori.com. “The time when businesses define success only by the bottom line is now antiquated; we need to look at the double bottom line: profits and impact, as The Sandbox is doing.”

“One of Offsetra’s co-founders, Damien Schuster, @damshoey, was one of the first LAND buyers,” said Andrew Bonneau, Carbon Markets Advisor at Offsetra. “Our team of crypto natives is thrilled to help The Sandbox reduce its emissions and help drive sustainability forward in unique metaverses like theirs.”
