BERLIN – Nov. 18, 2020 – YAGER has announced it has revised the release schedule for the official Steam launch of the action-packed quest shooter The Cycle from its original window of 2020 into the second quarter of 2021.

The Cycle is an action-packed multiplayer shooter that combines PvE and PvP. Your goal: complete more missions than the enemy within 20 minutes and escape off the hostile planet of Fortuna III alive. Resources gained can be used for weapon upgrades and other enhancements that will have a positive impact on future matches. The Cycle offers a competitive multiplayer survival experience in which you can play alone, squad up with friends, or join in uneasy alliances with strangers.

The Cycle is currently playable for free on the Epic Games Store.

Beta Waitlist Opens Today to Unreal Engine Developers Worldwide

BRISBANE, Australia – November 18, 2020 – Replica Studios, an artificial intelligence (AI) voice technology company, opened the beta waitlist today for its synthetic voice plugin, AI Voice Actors for Unreal Engine. Replica will offer its advanced AI voice software for game developers to create more expressive in-game characters at scale by producing synthesized speech from scripts, with easy to use style filters that control the mood or emotion of the voice, and more advanced controls to fine tune performance characteristics like pacing and intonation. Developers who join the beta waitlist will gain access to a growing library of more than 30 voices for use in prototyping, pre-production or final products when it becomes available in Q1 2021.

More than 7.5 million game developers use Epic Games’ Unreal Engine, making it one of the most widely used engines worldwide. However, many developers continue to suffer from the limitations of voice dialog in games due to the costs of managing talent and inefficiencies in recording, editing and re-recording dialog. Quick iteration and scalability of tools like Replica’s synthetic voice plugin will be game changers for the industry, saving studios large and small from months of work, and making quality in-game voice more accessible, leveling the playing field for creatives.

Shreyas Nivas, Co-Founder and CEO of Replica Studios, said: “AI Voice Actors for Unreal Engine will come at just the right time for teams that are planning their development roadmap and milestones going into 2021. As we look ahead to the future of gaming, it’s trending towards being more social and personalized. There’s this exciting shared long-term vision about building the ‘Metaverse’ with photorealistic virtual worlds and virtual characters. You can’t build the Metaverse without millions of high-quality voices, and our tools are going to make voice production significantly easier for developers.”

Although its roots are in game development, the Unreal Engine is also making strides in other verticals like entertainment within the film The Mandalorian as well as in automotive, architecture, education and training content, which can all be better served by AI voice software.

AI Voice Actors for Unreal Engine will feature:

• Voice Library: audition from 30+ AI voices that range from expressive game characters to narrators and storytellers with a diverse range of accents and speaking styles
• Custom Voices: build unique character voices and styles
• Text to Synthesized Speech: enter a script and receive the synthesized speech as a complete audio file [within seconds]
• Voice Direction: leverage fine-tuned controls to apply moods, emphasis, pitch, sound effects and other characteristics where needed
• Local File Storage: capture multiple takes and access a history of saved dialog lines for future adjustments and iterations

Nivas said: “The human voice is our oldest and most powerful storytelling tool. Today, the digitization of images and 3D content has revolutionized visual creation so you can create immersive virtual worlds within minutes. However, we’re still in the stone age when it comes to how dialogue and voice overs are produced. AI Voice Actors for Unreal Engine aims to bring dialog and voice over production to the next level.”

About Replica Studios
Formed by a group of deep learning engineers, designers, and software developers in Brisbane, Australia, Replica Studios now headquartered in the U.S. has set out to empower creative people globally with its voice AI platform. Since graduating from the Techstars Music accelerator in LA in 2019, the company has launched an AI platform that replicates the human voice and leverages proprietary text-to-speech software to produce expressive speech.

Its growing synthetic voice marketplace enables creative talent and voice actors to scale and license their voices for use in games, streaming content, advertising and much more. For more information, visit www.replicastudios.com.

Explore a Retro-Futuristic Robot-Filled World in This Stunning Action-Puzzle Adventure Game

LONDON, UK (November 19, 2020) — Today, Super.com would like to introduce you to a lonely world, long forgotten by humanity, maintained and run by robots in the latest game from developer Orbit Studio, retro-futuristic action-puzzle adventure Retro Machina. Coming to PC and consoles early next year, players take on the role of a solitary worker drone, labeled by the robot society as a malfunctioning unit and banished from his home.

Equipped with the ability to control other machines, our hero must use all the tools at his disposal to rebuild himself and find out if any intelligent life remains. He must explore the desolate, disintegrating maze-like terrain, overcome the harsh environment, and take control of deadly antagonistic automatons in order to discover the mysteries of the world and the origins of its only remaining city.

As the only surviving city of a long-dead world, Endeavour City has for centuries existed as a robot utopia, following a strict set of rules and processes in an effort to maintain its perfection; a perfect world where imperfections must not remain. To all its inhabitants, the city under a great glass dome is as it was from the start, but something in the crumbling towers and overgrown roadways seems off to one, malfunctioning robot. With his former family turned against him, he must navigate the land beyond the domed city, overcome the treacherous challenges that face him, and seek help for his much-loved home.

Set in a vibrant hand-drawn avant-garde retrofuturistic environment, Retro Machina draws inspiration from the works of science fiction’s foremost authors, Isaac Asimov and Arthur C. Clarke. Players are invited to explore four diverse biomes, each with their own unique aesthetic and vicious bosses.

Key Features:

• Painterly Futurism: Set in a beautifully vibrant, hand-painted avant-garde retrofuturistic environment, players will explore spaces and scenery that are reminiscent of some of the works of legendary futurism artist Jaque Fresco. With diverse biomes to explore, unique and varied enemies to overcome, Retro Machina is a gorgeous journey to embark upon.
   
• Alone, But Not Defenseless: You may be small, but you are definitely not helpless. As a worker drone, you can hack into the minds of other robots and take control of their actions, allowing you to defend yourself against ruthless attackers and solve intricate puzzles.
   
• Fix Yourself Up: You’re on your own now, so you must prepare. Armed with your trusty wrench, gather parts and tools to mend your malfunctioning body, and upgrade your defenses and combat abilities to battle against the vicious robot defense force dead set on keeping you from returning to Endeavour City.
   
• Explore the Unknown World: Throughout your journey, you will travel through four extraordinary areas, each with dozens of exceptional enemies, unique and challenging bosses, hidden secrets, and thought-provoking puzzles to solve.

Retro Machina will be available for Windows PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch in Q1 2021.
