Limited Edition Elite Gaming Glasses Features GUNNAR’s Adaptive Lens Technology for Indoor/Outdoor Use and Exclusive Ash Pouch, Cleaning Cloth and Glasses Case. 

CARLSBAD, Calif. (March 16, 2021) – GUNNAR Optiks, the preeminent force and No. 1 brand in gaming glasses, today announced the launch of its newest frame, 6–Siege, Ash Edition. A first-of-its-kind, these gaming glasses were designed directly from the in-game frames worn by character Eliza “Ash” Cohen, an Attacking Operator and the acting leader of “Forward Operations” in Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six® Siege. 

“Ash is such an iconic character, so when GUNNAR approached us about a replica of her sunglasses, we knew they would do a great job. The product looks really good, and the adaptive lens is such a great feature” said Dominique Létourneau, Rainbow Six Siege Transmedia Manager. “We are excited this product is so versatile, our Rainbow Six Community will be able to wear them while gaming or use them for cosplay.” 

Designed specifically for 6-Siege fans who want to perform their best during longer gaming sessions, 6-Siege, Ash Edition glasses include elements of GUNNAR’s patented lens technology which helps combat symptoms associated with digital eye strain and also blocks harmful blue light. The authentic semi-rimless frame design allows for an unobstructed wide format viewing to ensure no detail is missed during any mission. Going a step further, 6-Siege, Ash Edition comes equipped with GUNNAR’s advanced Amber React lens in Natural-Focus, making them perfect for indoor and outdoor use. The adaptive lens adjusts from blocking 65 percent of harmful blue light indoors, to 90 percent of blue light and 100 percent of UV rays while viewing digital devices outside – all while still reducing dryness and glare. The glasses are also available in prescription. 

“6–Siege, Ash Edition is unlike any pair of gaming glasses we’ve designed before,” said GUNNAR Optiks, Director of Marketing Gaming, Georgina Petrie. “We were able to work with Ubisoft’s team to make sure we captured the in-game glasses design with full real-world functionality.  Not only do they carry elements of GUNNAR’s industry-leading patented lens technology, but they were designed to be multi-functional with an adaptive lens, so gamers can wear them indoors for gaming (Amber), and continue to wear them as they transition outside (Sun). These are literally two pairs of glasses in one sleek, unisex design, packaged up in a fully branded 6-Siege Ash experience.” 

GUNNAR’s broad lineup of gaming glasses for adults and teens are designed to provide superior performance and patented lens technology that offers protection against the short and long-term effects of digital eye strain and exposure to the artificial blue light emitted from digital screens.  

6–Siege Ash Edition comes equipped with an exclusive Ash branded cloth, pouch, and unique glasses case starting at USD $99.99 / 89.90€ / £79.99 and is available to buy on GUNNAR.com,  GUNNAR France, Overclockers.co.uk,  Amazon.co.uk, GUNNAR Romania, GUNNAR Malaysia, GUNNAR Philippines and other online stores worldwide.  6–Siege Ash Edition is also available in prescription from GUNNAR.com starting at USD $249.99.

With a quirky sense of humor and an outlandish story, Snake-Man’s Adventure pays tribute to 90s classics while not taking itself too seriously and keeping it fun and simple for a younger audience.

“I love the platformers from the 90s and tried to reproduce parts of that art style while transferring it to the modern age and making it more accessible for a younger audience while still keeping it interesting for the retro-fans of the classics,” said Felix Schwerz, Managing Director of DosoSoft. “Snake-Man’s Adventure is a quaintly nutty take on side-scrolling, family-friendly sci-fi adventures that is easy to pick up and play and sometimes make you roll your eyes while chuckling a little.

DECEIVE OR BE DECEIVED IN A HOMICIDAL ROBOT REVOLT WHERE THE COCKTAILS LAST LONGER THAN FRIENDSHIPS

Baltimore, MD – Mar 16th, 2021 – Independent developer Invisible Walls ApS in partnership with indie publisher Versus Evil are excited to announce that their multiplayer social deduction game First Class Trouble will be coming to Steam Early Access on April 8th. 

The announcement appeared in-game as part of the St. Patrick’s Day playtest event, which is open to the public now until March 18th.

Taking place in an alternate 1950’s universe, First Class Trouble is a multiplayer social deduction game where six players must work together to shut down C.A.I.N., the rogue A.I. of a failing luxury space cruise-liner that is trying to kill them. Two of the six players are chosen at random to secretly play as Personoids, killer humanoids sent by C.A.I.N. to betray the other players.

First Class Trouble – Safety Onboard Instructional Film

Collaboration and quick thinking is at the heart of the gameplay and means friends will need to perform co-operative tasks to proceed through the maps, making use of keycards to access other areas and utilizing the various items around them. Personoids posing as passengers will cast doubt and cause trust issues in the midst of the group as the inevitable chaos ensues. The varied map environments allow for hilarious moments: players will be dumping each other out of airlocks, pushing each other into spa pools, locking each other into freezers, and tossing bottles of alcohol at each other’s heads. 

Further details to bring First Class Trouble to consoles will be announced by Versus Evil and Invisible Walls ApS later this year.

ROGUEBOOK REVEALS ITS GAMEPLAY SECRETS

Lesquin, France, March 15, 2021 – At the Media Indie Exchange (MIX), the online event that showcases forthcoming independent video game titles, Abrakam Entertainment and NACON released a new video for the roguelike deckbuilder Roguebook. The video highlights the main gameplay elements and some of its finer points.

Developed by Abrakam Entertainment and co-designed by Richard Garfield, the creator of Magic: The Gathering^TM, Roguebook is a roguelike deckbuilder set in the magical world of Faeria. Players must build a team of two heroes from the four available and battle the legends of the Roguebook in tactical turn-based combat.

Each hero has a unique set of cards, and players must expertly manage their deck, create synergies between heroes and control their position during fights, such as putting defensive heroes at the front to protect the damage dealer of the team.

While exploring, players add cards to their deck, and these cards can be upgraded by adding gems to them or transmute them into new, even more powerful cards. Roguebook also introduces a new philosophy in deckbuilding games: by expanding their deck, players unlock unique talents and skills for their heroes… But in returns, they’ll also have to face more unpredictability in handling a towering deck!

At the start of each chapter, only a portion of the map is revealed, including the path to the boss. Players are encouraged to explore the map and use the ink system to reveal hidden areas. Many treasures, enemies and events can be found to help make your team as strong as possible for the final fight.

As it is a roguelike, defeat means starting all over again… But all is not lost: Roguebook has a permanent upgrade system with new unlockable cards and new abilities for the heroes. And for players who want to uncover all the Roguebook’s secrets, there is the Epilogue system, which can be used to add customised challenges and earn bigger rewards. This greatly increases the replay value of Roguebook.

The Roguebook demo is still available for anyone who preorders the game
