ULTIMATE SKILLS HIT THE BATTLEFIELD IN SAMURAI WARRIORS 5

Introducing the Thrilling New Powers Ready to Dominate the 1 vs. 1,000 Fight!

Hertfordshire, 24^th March 2021 – KOEI TECMO Europe and developer Omega Force are excited to announce the latest upgrades to the SAMURAI WARRIORS 5 arsenal, introducing stunning new Ultimate Skills into the exhilarating warfare. The electrifying 1 vs. 1,000 tactical action game is currently under development for the Nintendo Switch™, PlayStation®4 Computer Entertainment System (playable on PlayStation®5 via Backward Compatibility), the Xbox One consoles (playable on Xbox Series X|S via Backward Compatibility), and Windows PC via Steam®, and is set to launch across Europe on July 27, 2021.

SAMURAI WARRIORS 5 takes place inside the Sengoku period, during which an inverted social order extends across Japan. As war rages, several influential figures appear across the country seeking to reign supreme over these turbulent times. Among those figures, the great daimyō, Yoshimoto Imagawa, dispatches his troops to escort the minor daimyo of the neighboring nation – Ieyasu Tokugawa – as a hostage. While everyone is assessing the situation, there is one person watching all of this occur from high above … Nobunaga Oda. SAMURAI WARRIORS 5 begins with Nobunaga, along with his childhood friend Toshiie Maeda, as they make a raid on the Imagawa Army in order to rescue Ieyasu from his captors.

In SAMURAI WARRIORS 5, this and every raid will be complemented by the all-new ability to unleash Ultimate Skill attacks on enemies. Ultimate Skills are incredibly powerful actions that can be used during battle, with players able to equip up to four types of Ultimate Skills at any one time. Ultimate Skill types include the Avalanche, enabling you to thrust your Great Spear into the earth to create a shockwave that stuns nearby enemies; Recuperation, where you can either increase your attack power or defense, or recharge your Musou Gauge; Relentless Storm, where you throw enemies into the air, beat them to a pulp, then bring them down to the ground with a strike from your Great Spear; and Pulse, an Ultimate Skill suited for continuing combos, enabling you to connect Pulse Ultimate Skills and Musou attacks.

In addition, Hyper Attacks return to the battlefield, enabling characters to travel great distance while assaulting enemies. As the Hyper Attack allows you to round up combatants and can be connected to a standard attack, it acts as the perfect starting point for any battle.

Alongside the new battle details, nine characters were also announced to join the fray. These larger-than-life personalities include Kanbei Kuroda, Shikanosuke Yamanaka, Sena, Hanbei Takenaka, Kazuuji Nakamura, Tadakatsu Honda, Toshiie Maeda, Oichi, and Nagamasa Azai. All of the game’s character models have been completely redesigned and re-imagined in a vibrant new style to help showcase the storyline’s Sengoku time period in spectacularly impressive fashion.

KOEI TECMO Europe also revealed that fans of the SAMURAI WARRIORS series will be able to get their hands on two different must-have special editions of SAMURAI WARRIORS 5, exclusively available through the KOEI TECMO Europe Online Store. The Treasure Box version of SAMURAI WARRIORS 5 includes the game’s soundtrack, an art book, a selection of postcards (alongside a display case), a deluxe cloth poster showcasing the game’s vibrant new art style, and a copy of the game, all packaged into a samurai themed collector’s box. The Collector’s Edition of the game includes all of the content featured in the Treasure Box version, alongside a mini acrylic stand set featuring the pivotal characters from this epic historical drama. Pre-orders for these versions of the game will open soon, with further details shared on the KOEI TECMO Europe social channels.

Cross-platform launch unites gamers, Crayator and Ben Prendergast celebrate Apex Legends arrival on Switch with an epic live broadcast 

• Gaming celebrity Crayator and Apex Legend’s voice actor Ben Prendergast team up to showcase how the free-to-play FPS title unites gamers across its new cross-play functionality.
• Meeting the man behind the voice of Apex Legends’ first Australian character, Fuse, released in Season 8 Mayhem. 

Australia, March 18. In celebration of EA Games’ Apex Legends arrival on Switch and the launch of Season 8, celebrity gamer Crayator caught up with Apex Legends voice actor Ben Prendergast to share their love of gaming from two different worlds on two different platforms.

The Aussie legends teamed up for a live stream on Sunday, March 14, to showcase the game’s cross platform functionality and introduce the first Australian inspired Legend, Fuse, voiced by Australian pop culture veteran and voice actor Ben Predergast.

Throughout the two hour live stream, hosted by Crayator, the team tested out Apex Legend’s first homegrown Australian character, Fuse, who is voiced by Ben Prendergast. This explosive new addition to the game’s Legends features a set of new abilities to challenge players, with apt names such as the Knuckle Cluster. 

During the broadcast it became clear that Fuse and Ben shared more than just a striking resemblance and voice, with the actor’s joyous and laid back personality entertaining both viewers and Crayator throughout. 

“When I read the characters’ lines, backstory and abilities, I couldn’t help but laugh,” said Pendergast, “To pair an offensive Legend, whose an explosive enthusiast, with an Australian accent just made perfect sense in my mind. I’m looking forward to confusing teammates with custom voice lines as I play”. 

Dropping lines like “get my budgie smugglers in a twist” while preparing to dive into Kings Canyon with a Joy-Con controller, Ben and Crayator delved deep into the latest season updates from new weapons, map changes, and the long awaited debut of in-game vehicles.

Sharing his thoughts on the experience, Crayator was clear that he felt he scored more than a Champion title from the showcase, “pairing up with Ben has earned me more than bragging rights, it’s always something special to collaborate with a genuine champion of the industry, who has behind the scenes insights and a hilarious attitude to match”. 

Highlighting the value of Apex Legend’s new cross platform functionality, Crayator said, “it’s a lot more exciting than people realise. The opportunity for gamers to play together on different platforms is a big deal, and [it’s] just another positive step towards inclusivity and accessibility for our community.”

Apex Legends arrived on the Nintendo Switch on March 9, with the move allowing the game’s reach to expand massively, bringing in an entirely new crowd who typically don’t have access to high-end PCs. Encouraging a new level of inclusivity amongst consoles.

To support the release, Nintendo has also provided a handful of perks for anyone who plays the game on the Switch, including 30 free battle pass levels and a legendary Pathfinder skin. 

Check out Apex Legends newest additions to the game, and download it for yourself, at www.ea.com/en-gb/games/apex-legends. You can rewatch the full broadcast on Crayator’s Twitch channel, head over to his YouTube or click here for the highlights.

ROSWELL, Ga. – Tuesday, March 23 – Developer and Publisher, Tripwire Interactive, is proud to announce that the esteemed title, Killing Floor 2, received another free content update today, Killing Floor 2: Dystopian Devastation. This update maintains Tripwire Interactive’s history of releasing free seasonal content updates for players since the game first launched in 2016. Out now for PlayStation®4, PlayStation®4 Pro, Xbox One, Xbox One X, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, the annual spring event comes fully charged with electrifying new weapons, and more. 

Killing Floor 2: Dystopian Devastation also introduces a new community map, Dystopia 2029. While conquering waves of zeds under neon lights and in seedy city streets, players can appreciate Dystopia 2029’s bleak futuristic style in standard survival, weekly, and endless game modes.

Additionally, players can slaughter in splendor with Killing Floor 2: Dystopian Devastation’s fresh weaponry. Demolitionists can pick up the Gravity Imploder, which will blast canisters at zeds to implode their heads—or use the alternative fire to draw them closer. Sharpshooters can sing this spring with new HRG weapon: the Beluga Beat. This gun shreds sonically, with the ability to charge up a shot to destroy with greater decibels. These weapons enter the fray with even more content, like added achievements, quality of life tuning, and seasonal store bundles.

And what is dystopia without drip? Killing Floor 2: Dystopian Devastation brings futuristic cosmetic options and skins for players to frenzy with flair, including hats, masks, backpacks, and more.

In Killing Floor 2, players descend into continental Europe where the outbreak caused by Horzine Biotech’s failed experiment has quickly spread and gained unstoppable momentum, essentially paralyzing the European Union— Just one month after the events in the original KILLING FLOOR, the specimen clones are everywhere and civilization is in disarray; communications have failed, governments have collapsed, and military forces have been systematically eradicated. The people of Europe know survival and self-preservation too well and lucky survivors have gone into hiding.

Not all have given up hope though… A group of civilians and mercenaries have banded together to combat the outbreak and established privately funded operation bases across Europe. Upon tracking specimen clone outbreaks, players will descend into zed-laden hot zones and exterminate them.

Killing Floor 2 is developed and published by Tripwire Interactive and is published at retail by Deep Silver and Iceberg Interactive for the Xbox One, Xbox One X, PlayStation®4 Pro, PlayStation®4, and PC. This title has been rated M by the ESRB, PEGI 18, USK 18.

Formed in 2005 as a humble independent developer founded by gamers who found success in the video game modding community, Tripwire Interactive has developed and self-published multiple critically acclaimed titles in the wildly popular Killing Floor and Rising Storm franchises, which have collectively sold over 20 million units to date. The studio’s latest project, Maneater, breaks new ground in the popular action RPG genre and finds players taking on the role of a deadly shark with the uncanny ability to evolve as it feeds.

Since then, Tripwire Interactive has expanded its business and now turns its experience and resources to include publishing titles spanning multiple platforms and genres from other talented independent studios. The publishing division aims to help like-minded independent studios bring their titles to market, including Chivalry 2 developed by Torn Banner Studios, Espire 1: VR Operative developed by Digital Lode, and Road Redemption developed by EQ Games and Pixel Dash Studios.
