About the Rainbow Six Esports global program

Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege’s Esports includes 4 main regions, Europe, North America, Latin America and Asia-Pacific. All four regions run in parallel their own dedicated regional leagues, all feeding into one unique and global race towards a qualification for the Six Invitational, the pinnacle of the Rainbow Six Siege competitive year. Each regional league ties into a coherent global program, one unique race towards a qualification for the Six Invitational. As teams across the four regions face off in regional and global competitions, featuring 3 Majors and regional leagues, they will be ranked based on a new and in-depth point system that rewards sustained performance. Each competitive Season runs for nearly a year, from March through the following February. Each Season will be divided into 4 quarters. The first three quarters correspond to the 3 “Stages” of the regional leagues and conclude with a Six Major bringing together 16 of the world’s best teams – four per region across the four regions. Each stage awards prize money and points for the Global Standings. The Global Standings determine the sixteen teams earning a spot to the annual Six Invitational. Following the 3 stages, the last quarter of the season will be dedicated to regional finals and relegations. The season will then conclude with the Six Invitational that will crown the world’s best team. Four additional teams will also have a chance to qualify for the Six Invitational through Regional Open Qualifiers, making the Six invitational a 20-team competition. A notable exception to the global structure will be the first Season of 2020. As the transition and sunset of the legacy Pro League program, this year will shorten the program to only 2 stages with two Six Majors this year.

Rustler (Grand Theft Horse) will gallop with a neigh to Steam Early Access on February 18th. Watch a hilarious little live-action teaser

Get ready for some crazy medieval action as Rustler (Grand Theft Horse) – a GTA-like open-world game – will launch on Steam Early Access on February 18th of this year.

You are The Guy – a cheeky, picaresque, blusterer just trying to make a living in the rough medieval times you’re living in. The good news is that moral dilemmas are foreign to you. “Good” is what brings profit to you, and “bad” is what doesn’t – simple as that. And if it means stealing, robbing, cheating, and throwing punches, so be it. You are The Guy, and you make the rules.

While waiting for the release, you can download the Rustler: Prologue for free from Steam (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1232710/Rustler_Prologue/) and wishlist the full version of the game on Valve’s store as well (https://store.steampowered.com/app/844260/Rustler_Grand_Theft_Horse/).

ABOUT RUSTLER (GRAND THEFT HORSE)

Rustler is an open-world, top-down action game paying tribute to the good old GTA style and gameplay, fusing it with a historically inaccurate medieval setting. Play as The Guy, whose parents apparently were too lazy to give him a proper name. Experience feudal injustice, inquisition, witch-hunting, and join The Grand Tournament. Meet valiant, yet incredibly stupid knights. Complete a wide variety of twisted missions and quests, or don’t give a damn about the plot and bring mayhem in the villages and cities. Choose to go on foot, or by a stolen horse. Fight with a sword or pick a fancy automatic crossbow. All that, spiced up with an inappropriate Monty Python inspired sense of humor.

Be a bold, bald thug in a medieval sandbox

The world of Rustler is filled with humor, anachronisms, and pop culture references. Remember Monty Python? Ever been towed for parking in a “NO HORSE ZONE”? Wanna do some cage fights in Medieval Martial Arts Arena? Or maybe pimp-a-horse a little? How about joining the Round-Earthers sect?

Wreak havoc with top-down, old-school combat

Use swords, spears, turds, and crossbows. Not efficient enough? Try throwing a holy hand grenade or… horses. Nothing’s more deadly than hooves galloping in your direction. Or drifting a cart.

Screw everyone over to win half the kingdom

As a poor peasant, you’ll need to get creative to win the Great Tournament™. Form weird alliances, double-cross your foes, and dig up dinosaur skeletons in a light, easy-to-understand, and hard-to-empathize-with story.

Hire bards to aid you musically in battle

A bard can be your sweaty personal radio. Not only will he not leave your side, even in the midst of the bloodiest of conflicts, he will also change the song’s dynamic depending on the action on-screen. Moreover, you can express a desire to change the tune by punching him in the face.

A lot of horsin’ around

Shoot cows into the sky, dress up as a guard or even Death himself, burn entire piles of weed, draw fancy shapes with a plowing cart, survive a full-on guard onslaught after killing half the city… And that’s only a few of the many crazy things you can do in Rustler.

Rustler (Grand Theft Horse) will launch on Steam Early Access on February 18th.

Stand guard for global safety, or make the whole world burn in the flames of war in Professional Soldier – an action FPS simulation game coming to PC

There was a time when you were a soldier. Now you are a Professional Soldier, and you get to choose between justice and money. Do whatever is necessary. Work for whoever is the highest bidder. Fear nothing, don’t let anyone stop you, and make sure that the only people who know your name are no longer alive to speak it.

The world that Europeans and US citizens know these days seems relatively peaceful for them, and soldiers might seem irrelevant. In the end, what can a soldier do in times of peace? Luckily, the world is large, and people are always fighting somewhere…

ABOUT PROFESSIONAL SOLDIER

The only thing you need to do to keep yourself busy in these peaceful times is to choose where to strike. There are plenty of people out there that you can either help or eliminate depending on who’s paying and how much. Maneuver wisely between money, fame, ethics, and the type of job while remembering that no one promised you this would be easy.

Once the deal is done, choose your method. Some jobs will require sophistication to complete, others nothing more than brute force. Some will require you to be close to your target. Others can be completed at long range. Depending on your preferences, you can get your hands dirty or do the job silently without unwanted casualties. Bombs, rifles, pistols, knives, and much more will all be at your disposal – make sure the tools fit the job.

After accepting the job, remember that nothing’s black or white, and you will often be able to decide which side you are on. So, trigger a conflict, or end it. Protect the good or join the bad. Support the poor or work for the rich. Save lives or take them. War is in your blood – don’t fight it!

PROFESSIONAL SOLDIER – MAIN FEATURES

  • It’s all about who you know. Remember that establishing a powerful grid of contacts will bring you more lucrative contracts and make the job easier.
  • Make sure you meet your clients’ expectations. Upgrading your skills and buying new gear are crucial if you want to be considered a professional.
  • Choose your side. Become a silent hero saving lives or a world-famous terrorist that’s hunted by global police forces.
  • Build your brand. Whether in a good or bad way, make sure everybody will know who you are.
  • Get rich. Professional services come at a price, and it’s a demanding job, so charge for it properly.
  • Become a lone wolf or stay loyal to your employer. Choose freedom of choice over stable employment or the other way round. Whatever suits you best.
  • Keep yourself entertained. Your job is far from being boring, so make sure it stays that way. Take part in black ops missions, join open conflicts on either side, plan assassinations, lead hostage evacuations, and much more.

Professional Soldier is being developed by ArtGabi and is coming to PC.

More information about the game is available on the official websiteSteam, and Facebook.

Dive into the thrilling story of Buried in Ice – a game inspired by the masterpiece The Thing and coming to PC and consoles

Welcome to the silent, snowy desert of Antarctica. You are the sole survivor of the US base here. Left alone, accused of destroying the facility and killing all the crew, and unarmed against a threat that’s larger than humankind. You are now the first last line of defense for all humanity. Left all alone in this frozen, immense land, no one will hear you scream.

Add the game to your wishlist on Steam (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1459980/Buried_in_Ice) to face the unknown.

In this survival-RPG-horror mix, you need to survive at all cost after you’ve escaped from a burning base set in the most unfriendly environment on Earth. Imprisoned by people you don’t understand, treated as a criminal, exhausted, and defenseless, you can’t shake the same repeating thoughts: “Have I brought this… THING with me? Or did IT make me to find new victims?”

Finish it here, once and for all, or your secret will be buried in ice, and humankind will be left with no future. In the middle of nowhere, in the coldest place on Earth, you must remember that staying outside is suicide. You need to stay warm, need to find enough gas to maintain power and heat, need food that’s not contaminated by an unwelcomed “guest” – and you desperately need to find or make a weapon. Along with your physical health, you also need to take care of your mental health and that of your other crew members. Too much stress can make you crack and will result in violent behavior, like attacking other team members, destroying key equipment, or even committing suicide.

Your every decision is vital to achieving the goal of surviving and either killing this THING that’s hunting you or, if you’re unable to, escaping. How to achieve either of the two goals is up to you. You can act immorally and kill everyone for the sake of your own survival. Or try to save them all, which might be more difficult, but at the same time, good relationships, teamwork, wise decisions, and charisma can sometimes produce better results than a gun.

Don’t forget that you’ve already tried to kill it once, and you’ve failed miserably. Be smarter this time, and don’t expect it to be easy. You’ll start with nothing. Staying alone too long will get you killed, and if you don’t provide yourself with enough heat – you’ll die. Remaining outside guarantees you’ll freeze to death. And if you see too many horrible things, you’ll crack and eventually commit suicide.

Be smart and be quick. Find out who still remains human and who became far from it. Defeat the THING, escape, or remain there, forever Buried in Ice.

BURIED IN ICE – MAIN FEATURES

  • Remember that team play is the key to success. Staying together means staying alive. If you‘re alone for too long, it will bring an end to your story.
  • Survive in the most unfriendly environment on Earth. Remember that hunger, cold, stress, or contamination can be as fatal as the THING that’s hunting you.
  • Test your moral boundaries. Co-operate with other members of the team, help them survive or steal, cheat, run away, destroy, and kill. It’s up to you how this story will end.
  • Trust no one. Teamwork might be the only key to survival, but at the same time, you’ll never be sure who remained human and who was already possessed by the THING.
  • Remember that time is running out. Try to either escape or kill the THING as soon as possible because if you happen to become the last one standing, it may mean that you’re not human anymore…

Buried in Ice is being developed by Liquid Engine Development and will be released on PC and consoles.
