Build a Crew, Battle and Board Massive Enemy Ships, Explore New Aerial Tactics With Zephyr Rework/Deluxe and Prepare for Call of the Tempestarii, Coming Soon to All Platforms

LONDON, ONTARIO – March 19, 2021 – Empowered by player feedback to fulfil Warframe®’s ultimate space fantasy, Digital Extremes has delivered an ambitious re-imagining of space-battle gameplay with the streamlined Corpus Proxima & The New Railjack today on PC. Seamlessly intertwining large-scale space combat with fast, frenetic ninja action, Corpus Proxima & The New Railjack ramps Warframe’s space fantasy to new levels of intensity, while setting the stage for Call of the Tempestarii, which debuts the reaper-like Warframe Sevagoth and a ghostly Railjack story quest this spring on all platforms.

Tenno can earn everything for free in Corpus Proxima & The New Railjack or they can jump into the action and save time by purchasing Railjack in-game through three bundle tiers, including the Railjack, Crew Slots, Nautilus Sentinel and Nautilus Sentinel Accessories. See Warframe.com for more details and pricing.

The player-friendly Dev Workshop Video summarizes how and why changes were made to Railjack and shows how improvements will benefit new and veteran players alike. Make sure to watch the bold new Zephyr Rework in the gameplay video below, and prepare to command the sky with her enhanced Abilities and sleek new Deluxe skin in this update today.

Build, Board and Battle 
Re-worked to embody the core Warframe experience, every aspect of Corpus Proxima & The New Railjack’s redesign is renovated and simplified for less grind and less reliance on matchmaking. Now, all players can enjoy building their personal Railjacks, boarding Corpus Capital ships to sabotage from within, or annihilating them with an arsenal of new ordnance.

“Integrating some of our players’ favorite gameplay, like Necramechs, and adding new core Warframe modes, into this new update transforms Corpus Proxima & The New Railjack into something more unified and essential,” said Sheldon Carter, COO. “This update is so incredibly diverse!”

Corpus Proxima & The New Railjack embraces epic spaceship battles more than ever, with integrated new gameplay modes interwoven with core, familiar gameplay. Tenno can still rely on their favorite Archwing Slingshot to board and pilot enemy ships, and collect, fight and explore in their battleship. But Railjack missions now unite classic Warframe gameplay with Railjack battles, core reward loops, and even hardcore mech gameplay.

New Modes, Expanded Gameplay
By introducing the heavy guns of Necramech gameplay into Corpus Proxima & The New Railjack, players will experience a new sense of variety, surprise, and powerful artillery to crush Corpus forces into oblivion.

With the expansion of Orphix mode (introduced in the Orphix Venom Event late last year) into space battles, players can now board enemy ships and take down sentient invaders using Operators and their devastatingly powerful Necramechs. By weaving in familiar gameplay elements in a new way, players can now hunt and collect valuable Arcanes to boost their Warframes instead of earning currency, and crack relics to unlock Warframes and for the first time, Warframe Primes, such as Ash Prime! 

And blending even more variety into Corpus Proxima & The New Railjack, the all new mission “Volatile” invites players to take on the ultimate challenge — to sabotage the biggest enemy threat, the Corpus Capital ship! Help Cephalon Cy from the inside to create a Reactor failure while fighting off enemy engineers bent on your destruction. This is just the beginning of a slew of new content with more to come!

New Intrinsics and Avionics
The re-worked, improved Command Intrinsics give battle-ready Tenno more control, more gametime, and less waiting around. Command your own NPC crew  by recruiting, leveling up, customizing and commanding AI.

Similarly, the newly reworked Avionics System shifts power from the ship to the individual player using the Harness System, so players use their individual skills and powers, as well as squad-wide buffs, to customize their Railjack crews for more control and deadlier firefights.

“The shift from ship-side to player-side Command Intrinsics makes a world of difference,” said lead producer Dave Kudirka. “We’re very psyched for players to try out our new NPCs!”

More Fun, Less Grind
The more streamlined experience also means players don’t need a Dojo or Drydock to own a Railjack, and Relays will play a more intuitive part in recruiting crews for missions across a variety of planets.

“We thought a lot about how to make Railjack better and more fun,” explained Carter. “Player feedback was very direct. You told us straight up, ‘give us more control and streamline the experience’ and this update is built with that input in every aspect.”

Building up the Railjack and recruiting a crew is not only key to defeating the Corpus now, it’s crucial to recruiting the new Warframe Sevagoth, countering Void Storms, and experiencing the ghostly Railjack story quest in the Call of the Tempestarii.

Take the fight to the Corpus now! Download Corpus Proxima & The New Railjackhere, save time by purchasing Railjack Bundles in-game, and prepare for the Call of the Tempestarii this spring!

New Campaign Weapons and the “Hardest” Challenge Ever Made Enter Espire 1: VR Operative with Latest Free Content Update

ROSWELL, Ga. – March 19, 2021 – Publisher Tripwire Interactive and developer Digital Lode are proud to announce their continued commitment to improving Espire 1: VR Operative, the award-winning virtual reality stealth experience and top-selling Oculus Store title, with today’s launch of the Espire 1: VR Operative Spectre update.

Enhanced for the new Oculus Quest 2 and Oculus Quest, today’s update introduces two new playable weapons to the title’s campaign, offering stealth savvy veterans a new way to enjoy the game. Also included are two brand-new, ultra-difficult challenges that will test the mettle of even the most experienced Espire Agents. For full details on the Espire 1: VR Operative Spectre update, please visit the official Tripwire Interactive forums.

Espire 1: VR Operative Spectre Update Highlights

– New Campaign Weapon: Sawn-off Shotgun

• Playable for the first time in the campaign, the Sawn-off Shotgun offers Espire Agents the option to forgo stealth with this extra loud boom stick. This is the perfect weapon for “tanking” your way through the campaign, guns blazing. The Sawn-off Shotgun’s compact size allows for it to be holstered as either the primary or secondary weapon – and is reloaded via magazine clips. So, there is no need to worry about individual shells. Complete the Shotgun Virtual Challenges to unlock this new weapon for the campaign.

– New Campaign Weapon: Spectre SMG

• Playable for the first time in the campaign, the Spectre SMG comes equipped with a suppressor and an extended 45-round magazine. With it’s unique firing mode, Espire Operatives can fire a round on a trigger squeeze with a second round firing upon release with reduced recoil. Complete the SMG Virtual Challenges to unlock this new weapon for the campaign.

– New Virtual Challenge: Furcata

• Described by the Digital Lode developers as the “most difficult” Hostage rescue challenge ever made, Furcata features multiple starting points, skilled marksmen, and well-guarded hostages.

– New Virtual: Mangua

• This brand-new Takedown challenge offers branching paths and rewards players who explore with special weapons to help complete their objectives. As always, keeping an eye out for guards patrolling above you and using zip lines to get the drop on enemies is critical for success.

To celebrate the Espire 1: VR Operative Spectre update, Espire 1 will be featured as a Daily Deal on the Oculus Store today (March 19th) and discounted 25%! If you don’t already own Espire 1 for Quest here’s your chance to grab it now here. See store page for sale details.

Espire 1: VR Operative aims to set the new gold standard for the stealth genre in virtual reality –introducing the “Control Theatre,” a unique solution to the challenge of VR motion sickness for first-person titles. Espire 1: VR Operative drafts players as drone operators of the future. Players become “Espire Agents” and use cutting-edge Virtual Reality hardware to remote-operate the Espire model 1 from the safety of their Control Theatre.

The technology behind the Control Theatre and the game’s approach to movement lie at the heart of Espire 1: VR Operative’s gameplay and intuitive VR control system. Any time a player performs any artificial locomotion, the game world shrinks down to the size of a floating tablet, with the Control Theatre visible in the player’s peripheral vision. This “VR within VR” system allows for precise, full freedom movement, while maintaining immersion, and eliminating “VR motion sickness” for almost everyone. The Control Theatre is fully customizable to suit the player’s level of comfort, and can be fully disabled for those already comfortable moving in VR.

For the first time ever, the open waters of Port Clovis have evolved to go portable. Whether you’re on the go or in your home, you now can eat, explore, and evolve your way to the top of the food chain and become the Apex Predator of the ocean.

Out now on the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, PlayStation®5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, and PC (via the Epic Games Store)—and this spring for the Nintendo Switch™ system—Maneater invites players to experience the ultimate power fantasy by controlling the apex predator of the seas—a terrifying shark!

Maneater is a single player, open-world action-RPG (ShARkPG) where YOU are the shark. Starting as a small bull shark pup you are tasked with surviving the harsh world while eating your way up the ecosystem. To do this, you will explore a large and varied open world encountering diverse enemies — both human and wildlife. Find the right resources and you can grow and evolve far beyond what nature intended, allowing the player to tailor the shark to their play style. This is fortunate, because to get revenge on the cruel fisherman that dismembered you will take evolving into a massive shark, an apex predator of legends. Eat. Explore. Evolve.

Maneater Key Features Include: 

• Eat: Feed on humans, consume nutrients, and find rare shark loot to evolve past what nature intended.
• Explore the Gulf: Explore seven large regions, including bayous of the gulf coast, resort beaches, industrial docks, the open ocean and more. Experience a living world with a full day/night cycle.
• Evolve Into a Legend: Unlock and equip various Evolutions that improve and enhance your shark as you progress through the campaign.
• Unique Story: Play through a full narrative, story-based campaign narrated by Chris Parnell (Rick and Morty, Saturday Night Live, 30 Rock) and set against the backdrop of a reality TV show.
• Diverse, Compelling Combat: Battle fierce wildlife including other apex predators or fight against various types of human hunters ranging from town drunks all the way up to the Coast Guard.
• Includes the Tiger Shark Evolution:  The Tiger Shark is often called the ‘garbage disposal of the sea.’ Appropriately enough, this evolution allows you to digest nearly anything, increasing your ability to gain vital nutrients from all varieties of prey.

With a truly unique premise and never-before-seen approach to the action-RPG genre, Tripwire Interactive looks forward to taking players on a journey through uncharted waters with Maneater.

Maneater for Nintendo Switch releases May 25, 2021 for $39.99 / €39.99 / £34.99 MSRP with an ESRB rating of M for Mature, PEGI 18 rating, and USK 16 rating.

About Little Chicken

Little Chicken started making games back in 2001. With a rich history in work for hire projects, among which a lot of VR projects on the early VR platforms, the studios switched to making their own games back in 2015. They released REKT! and Rescue Wings on mobile platforms. And also Track Lab, a music-making gamified tool on the PlayStation VR platform. From that team comes Traffic Jams, where all the lessons learned in VR and all previous games come together. littlechicken.nl

Double Rewards in Arena War This Week – Plus Bonuses on Rhino Hunt, Special Vehicle Work, and More

Double Rewards in All Arena War Modes

Put on your spikiest outfit, fill your lungs with a cocktail of noxious fumes, and enjoy the rocket’s red glare at Maze Bank Arena’s hottest ticket: the Arena War Series is paying back double rewards (that’s GTA$, RP, and Arena Points) to all competitors across all game modes — from Bomb Ball to Wreck It and everything in between. Turn that engine’s purr into the roar of an apex predator.

Arena Workshop owners can also add the Vertical Jump ability to any Arena vehicle this week for free.

Double Rewards in Rhino Hunt

In Rhino Hunt, pursuers in off-road vehicles are armed with nothing but Sticky Bombs and their wits; the hunted, meanwhile, are protected by the armored plating of their tank, and must survive for three minutes. And no matter who is victorious, both sides will walk away with double the usual GTA$ and RP, all week long.

2X GTA$ and RP on Special Vehicle Work

Executives who have completed a series of Vehicle Cargo Missions can diversify their revenue streams by using the SecuroServ computer in their Office to take on Special Vehicle Work. Complete these missions to earn double GTA$ and RP until March 24th.

Unlock the Brute Heavy Duty Tee

All GTA Online players who jump in to play this week will receive a complimentary Brute Heavy Duty Tee — this way, everyone will know about your super-sized carbon footprint.

On the Podium This Week: Pfister Comet SR

Stop by The Diamond Casino & Resort’s lobby to spin the Lucky Wheel and walk away with GTA$, RP, clothing, and all sorts of other mystery prizes. This week on the podium is the Pfister Comet SR, a sports car with carbon fiber spliced into its very DNA.
