Plus fan-favorite Classic Joust map returns for Joust and Duel matches

ATLANTA – JUNE 15 – Today, the dark sorceress of Arthurian legend Morgan Le Fay arrives to cast a dark spell over SMITE’s roster of over 110 playable gods.

Having thrilled players in May’s cinematic trailer, Morgan Le Fay brings her cunning and witchcraft to the Battleground of the Gods.

A former student of Merlin’s, Morgan Le Fay turned her newfound knowledge into dark magic. Channeling her powers towards control, sorcery and manipulation, Morgan Le Fay will enchant all who stand in her way – including the best and truest knights – to secure her ultimate goal: King Arthur’s throne.

“Morgan Le Fay is a fantastic backline mage”, said Dishant Samtani, SMITE Game Designer at Titan Forge Games, developer of SMITE. “With her versatile spells, she is able to harass enemies with different controlling effects from afar. If enemies get too close, her defensive dragon apparition summon provides her additional opportunities to get back into a favorable position. Players will love Morgan Le Fay’s powerful sorcery, combined with her deep backstory of legends and vengeance.”

For a detailed overview of Morgan Le Fay and an insight into her design, check out the Morgan Le Fay: A Closer Look blog post.

Classic Joust Map Returns

Also in today’s update, the Classic Joust map is making a comeback! Replacing the current Joust map in all 3v3 and 1v1 Normal and Ranked Joust and Duel matches, the return of the Classic Joust map will delight many players.

Fitting thematically with Morgan Le Fay’s arrival, the return of the Classic Joust map also brings a variety of balance and tuning changes – including new Red Jungle Camp enhancement and bonuses, plus tweaks to the pace players earn Gold and XP to make the curve feel more natural, like other SMITE modes.

2D Stealth ‘Em Up Delivers 80’s Nostalgia with Killer Comedy and Eyepatch Slingshots

Baltimore, MD – June 15th, 2021 – indie publisher Versus Evil in partnership with Independent developer Unepic_Fran are excited to announce that their 2D stealth action game UnMetal is coming to PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch and popular PC stores Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG this summer with a release date to be announced in the coming weeks.

An updated playable demo on PC for Steam is available for players to try, and coincides with new reveals and demos in Steam’s Next Fest from the 16th June.

UnMetal is driven by a narrative that piles on the 80’s movie and TV nostalgia alongside gameplay and characters heavily inspired by games where hiding in cardboard boxes is considered a sound evasion strategy. UnMetal’s top down 2D pixel-art visuals deliberately give the game a distinctly retro feel and tasks you, the player, to conduct a covert mission to escape a clandestine military base for a crime you didn’t commit. Espionage and deception go hand in hand as you take out video cameras with grenades, knock out nosy predictable guards and subdue pursuing enemies with military grade hardware when things inevitably go haywire.

“When Versus Evil first started to talk with UnEpic_Fran about UnMetal, I honestly didn’t know what to expect.  Once we played UnMetal and started learning more, we were hooked. This isn’t just a stealth action game, but a game that is fun, challenging, and wrapped up into a classic retro design filled with intelligent humor. There are truly some genuine laugh out loud moments in this game that make you feel like you are quoting lines from your favorite movie.  The Versus Evil team could not be more excited to launch UnMetal.” said Steve Escalante,General Manager of Versus Evil.

You can start your own escape on all the major console stores this summer, and UnMetal will also stealth onto Steam, GOG, Epic Game Store, Humble Store, Gamesplanet., VersusEvil.com and all other approved Versus Evil PC retailers.

Check out the new official UnMetal announcement trailer which featured as part of the recent Guerrilla Collective 2021 game reveals.
