Developed by Tokyo-based DOKIDOKI GROOVEWORKS Inc., TAIKO NO TATSUJIN: RHYTHMIC ADVENTURE PACK officially brings two never-released-in-the-west Taiko no Tatsujin titles (Taiko no Tatsujin Rhythmic Adventure 1 & 2) to players outside of Japan; delivering a one-of-a-kind experience to the cult-classic Japanese rhythm game.

Every WarGames event will run across several days and feature an event card in its top slot.

WarGames will also feature giant crab monsters. What’s that all about? Players will just have to see for themselves!

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.

Award-Winning VR Adventure Rhythm of the Universe: IONIA™ Comes to Oculus Quest, PSVR, PC VR in Q2 2021

Portion of Proceeds go to Steve Irwin’s Non-Profit Wildlife Warriors

BOSTON — 3 December 2020 — IONIA, the first title in the Rhythm of the Universe adventure series about preserving the environment with the power of music theory from ROTU Entertainment, will create a magnificent symphony as a native Oculus Quest app and for PSVR alongside previously announced PC VR headsets in Q2 2021. Two percent of proceeds from the Cannes XR Development Showcase 2020 award-winner and Raindance film festival nominee will benefit environmental non-profit Wildlife Warriors.

Established in 2002 by Steve and Terri Irwin, Wildlife Warriors continues Steve Irwin‘s legacy of protecting injured, threatened or endangered wildlife, be it an individual animal or an entire species. Its mission is closely aligned with that of ROTU Entertainment, and the Irwin family supports Rhythm of the Universe: IONIA’s goal of raising awareness for environmental protection issues through immersive entertainment.

As the first of seven games, each with a distinct look and feel, IONIA will introduce an otherworldly forest filled with instrument-inspired flora and fauna. The world is alive with the sounds of music as hands-on interactions between VR controllers and denizens of the woods send sharp drum beats, soft bell tones, and other good vibrations humming through the air. Carve a path into a jungle teeming with life to save the Harpa, a mythical being facing peril.

Rescuing the Harpa while exploring the mysterious forest and its looming ruins is no small task. Climb trees, zipline across trenches, collect supplies, and solve puzzles using music-based magic to push back the vines hiding a mystical narrative and lively ecosystem all designed around the Rhythm of the Universe. Reveal hidden areas, unlock the power of tonal tablets, and most importantly, heal the forest through the power of song.

“We’ve made the decision to delay our musical theory puzzle adventure so we can bring it to Quest and PSVR players at the same time,” says Jason Parks, ROTU CEO. “We want everyone with a VR headset to be able to explore the gorgeous world we’ve created from our experiences working extensively with international musicians and documenting the deforestation of the Amazon.”

Rhythm of the Universe: IONIA will be available for Oculus Quest natively as well as through Oculus Link, PSVR, Valve Index, Oculus Rift S, HTC Vive, Vive Pro, and HP Reverb G2 with English, Spanish, French, and German language support. IONIA is rated E for Everyone and equivalent in regions around the world.

The Holidays have come Early to World of Warships

World of Warships (WoWS) reveals details of both updates 0.9.11 and 0.9.12, bringing lots of gifts for players, new US Battleships available for research and two new festive campaigns.

Today, developer and publisher Wargaming has announced the details of its next two holiday updates for World of Warships (WoWS), its widely popular, free to play naval combat game. Update 0.9.11 launches today, while update 0.9.12 is scheduled to go live later this month.

The season of giving starts with the Advent calendar. Running from December 1 to December 31 players will receive daily random bundles from the Armoury, and can open cards each day and claim their present as well as personal quests. Upon completing these special quests players will get additional Santa’s Gift containers, premium time and doubloons as rewards. In addition to the festive calendar, Winter Trophies, a group of combat missions, will drop every week throughout December. The final reward for completing these missions will be the “New Year” permanent camouflage for Tier VIII ships. 

The long awaited full release of new US Battleships has arrived. With update 0.9.11 going live, VIII Kansas, IX Minnesota, and X Vermont will become available for all players to research. Imagery of these three vessels can be found in the assets link below. 

Update 0.9.12

To bring 2021 in with a bang, Update 0.9.12 offers players a new Dockyard, Snowflakes, free daily random bundles, two temporary festive Campaigns, new ships, and new Commanders, as well as many other rewards. 

In Update 0.9.12 players will be able to start building a new Japanese battleship, IX Hizen. This new ship is one of the variants of a super battleship project that preceded the development of the Yamato-class ships. To unlock her, players will need to progress through separate phases of the shipbuilding process, completing missions or spending doubloons to earn this iconic vessel. To maintain this theme, the new Kure port will also be added to the game, inspired by Kure harbour in Japan.

The last update of the year will feature Snowflakes with hefty holiday bonuses. 

Captains who secure a victory or earn at least 300 base XP on Tier V or above ships will be rewarded with a holiday Snowflake. Depending on the ship’s tier, you’ll receive Coal, Steel, or Santa’s Gift containers for blowing Snowflakes off your ship. In addition, all WoWS players will be given three free New Year’s Gift containers with the final update of the year.

Lastly, two New Campaigns: In Pursuit of Strasbourg and The Ships and Fates will be introduced with 0.9.12 Update. 

The first New Year temporary Campaign comprises 32 tasks in four missions. The rewards for completing the missions are unique New Year Commanders for Pan-Asian, Italian, or French ships. Completing the Campaign will reward you with VII Strasbourg, adorned in the Winter Holiday permanent camouflage. 

The second New Year temporary Campaign comprises 36 tasks in six missions. Completing the missions will reward you with researchable ships V Furutaka, V T-22, V Hawkins, V Visby, V Kotovsky, and V New York, all with unique New Year Commanders and Winter permanent camouflages, as well as Santa’s Gift containers.
