FREE WINDBOUND CONTENT AVAILABLE NOW

New modes & Witch Skin bolster game experience

Sydney, Australia, 2^nd November 2020 | Deep Silver is pleased to announce it is further enhancing the Windbound gameplay experience with a collection of free content updates releasing in three patches throughout Q4 2020 and Q1 2021. The content updates will feature new gameplay mechanics, cosmetics and game modes – delivered free to all players via patch updates.

The first content update launches today and is designed to significantly boost the player’s experience. It includes a new Witch Skin – upgrading Kara’s abilities alongside the all new Photo and Endless Modes.

The Witch Skin comprises three extra items for Kara, each of which contain new abilities; the Witch’s Hat – potions last longer; the Witch’s Outfit – play to respawn nearby after death; and the Witch’s Staff – unbreakable and fires out small magic orbs with each melee strike, that seek out and damage the closest target.

The first of the new modes is Photo Mode, which allows the player to pause the game, adjust the camera and take a photo. Players can also change Kara’s pose and expression, the time of day and add filters.

• Creative mode for keen  video game photographers offering full control over camera position and orientation, field of view, exposure, time of day, and position of the sun
• 20 different poses and expressions for Kara
• 20 hats and accessories for Kara
• A variety of filters, from black and white, to CRT, to pastel

There is also the Eternal Voyage offering players an endless play mode, which adds tracking to the map screen and save profile to indicate how many stages the player has managed to survive.  The game does not finish with Chapter 5, stages will progressively (but not endlessly) get larger, more varied and more dangerous.

The Q4 2020  update will include additional skins for Kara, Free sailing mode and an upgraded Nautilus tower experience – introducing a number of new towers for players to explore, complete new challenges and progress.

Our early Q1 2021 update will further expand the Nautilus tower experience, whilst introducing new enemy types, combat moves and gameplay mechanics via a ‘corruption’ system.

In addition, Kara’s Ancestral Gear, originally offered as a pre-order bonus, is now available to purchase on console, PC and Stadia digital stores, please check your preferred platform for pricing.

To Kara’s tribe, the exploits of her ancestors are legendary. Hunters, fishers, warriors, poets and philosophers, their stories tell of a people who lived in perfect harmony with the natural world and swam the deep waters in the company of gods. Though the tale of their downfall has been lost to time, their legacy lives on in these artefacts that have endured to this day. 

Ancestral Attire

This treasured garment – fit for either a warrior or a priest – has been handed down from generation to generation, and now the time has come for Kara to honour her past.

Ancestral Oar

The Oceanic Gyre was revered in times past, though its true significance is enigmatic to Kara’s people today. Nevertheless, this salt-treated wooded oar remains sturdy and functional, despite its age.

Ancestral Knife

How or where the ancestors acquired these Sea Shards remains a mystery, but few would deny their efficacy. Luminous, durable and impossibly sharp, this blade cuts as well today as it did a hundred years ago.

Halloween in New Eden: EVE Echoes Unveils Brand New ‘Crimson Harvest’ Event

New Modules and Items Also Added to NetEase Games’ Mobile MMORPG

Guangzhou, China – October 31, 2020: Bringing some much needed festive cheer to players, NetEase Games is excited to lift the lid on several updates about to hit its celebrated mobile MMORPG EVE Echoes, with the roll-out of brand new Halloween-themed ‘The Crimson Harvest’ event leading the line.

Alongside the addition of seven new modules designed to reflect player feedback (including an Interdiction Sphere Launcher, Warp Disruption Field Generator, Warp Scrambler, Sensor Dampening, Target Painter, and a Tracking Disruptor and Guidance Disruptor), the aforementioned special event will run between October 31st and November 10th.

During the event, Crimson Harvest Anomalies were added to the universe. These will include Haunted Ruins and Carnival at Cemetery, which are low-level festive anomalies and high-level festive anomalies respectively. Both of them will appear in each system in the universe at random, with there naturally being a greater chance of low-level anomalies compared to the intentionally rarer high-level anomalies. 

Brand new Halloween-themed skins will also be available in New Eden Store during the event. During the event, four kinds of different Skin boxes will be added, with some big discounts on some of these Skin boxes.

Neatly, the design of the Halloween skin was inspired by pumpkins, featuring an orange and black hull and an amazing flame-like effect when driving. These Skin batches will be on offer for a limited time – when the event is over, they will be removed from the store, and won’t be available as daily merchandise.

The Crimson Harvest event includes:

• Crimson Harvest Anomalies will appear in the universe. These include Haunted Ruins (Low-level Festive Anomalie) and Carnival at Cemetery (High-level Festive Anomalies).
• During the event, both will appear in each system in the universe at random, with there naturally being a greater chance of low-level anomalies compared to the intentionally rarer high-level anomalies.
• You can get brand new Modules and Halloween exclusive Skins from Haunted Supply Boxes. There’s even a chance of getting permanent Halloween Skins. Haunted Supply Boxes can be traded.
• The 7 new Modules can only be obtained through Haunted Supply Boxes during the event. On Nov. 11, these Modules can be obtained in the normal ways, once we’ve finished some final tweaks to the pirate system.
• Opening Haunted Supply Box III grants new storyline Modules and permanent Halloween Skins.

Limited-time The Crimson Harvest Skins include:

• Limited-Time Skins will be available in New Eden Store during the event. The way Skins have been provided has been changed: during the event, we are adding 4 kinds of different Skin boxes.
• This batch of Skins are limited-time offers. When the event is over, they will be removed from the store, and won’t be available as daily merchandise.

October has seen EVE Echoes build on its growing popularity, with the game playing host to what may have been the biggest scale online battle in the history of mobile games.

Up to 1,200 players worldwide took park in an encounter between the Genesis Federation Alliance and OP4S alliance. With the former coming out victorious, the skirmish resulted in more than 1,350 ships being lost, alongside 61.2 billion ISK – EVE’s currency.

“We took control of the station grid,” said a spokesperson for the Genesis Federation Alliance. “As we tried to shoot enemy ships, they split their force between people who would shoot us and dozens of people who would undock and use the 60-second undock timer to cloud our overview with ships we could not shoot. In the meantime, the other fleet was free to use their other ships to attack us. When we identified those and tried to attack them, they would warp off and the undocking ships would shoot us from behind. Additionally, they abused the immunity to dock and undock guardian ships.”

Players can expect to see further battles of a similar scale take place during Halloween, both during and after The Crimson Harvest.

A year after the Early Access launch, The Farm 51 studio is back with a brand-new gameplay trailer and a whole bunch of exciting news for their upcoming sci-fi RPG survival horror game Chernobylite.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – October 30th, Gliwice, Poland.

Time flies when you’re having fun. Or work super hard with your community to make sure the game you’re developing will meet all their expectations. And that’s exactly what The Farm 51 devs have been doing since the Chernobylite Early Access launch back in mid-October 2019. A year later, the game is incomparably bigger (in content), better (when it comes to features), and more bada… erm… you know where we’re going with this, so without further marketing babble, let’s jump straight into all the juicy details, shall we?

Hopefully, it’s convincing enough for you to consider purchasing the Early Access version of the game available on either Steam (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1016800/Chernobylite/) or GOG.com (https://www.gog.com/game/chernobylite). Especially that it’s now 30% off – and the last discount before the game’s launch planned for 2021.

Bringing Chernobylite to next-gen consoles will be possible thanks to the term-sheet The Farm 51 studio has just signed with All in! Games. Thanks to the cooperation, the game will get many more distribution channels (including streaming platforms) and will be professionally localized in more languages than originally planned. Before this happens, however, you can already enjoy another massive update that has just been added to the game. This Mega Patch is the penultimate one before the game’s content is complete, and here’s what you can expect from it:

Two new quests to complete

Dig deeper into either Olivier’s or Olga’s story. Or explore both to add new plot pieces for discovering Chernobylite’s mystery.

Two new levels, and additional locations on the already existing ones, to be discovered

Fractal World “The Woman in the Red Dress” is the conclusion of a new investigation on the board, and “Stealing Adrianna’s technology” will especially be enjoyed by those of you who asked how Igor got his VR helmet. On top of that, you’ll be able to explore additional locations added to the levels you already know. So make sure to revisit them and find them all. Just remember – you’ll need one of the new “toys” for that.

And yes, by “toys” we mean new weapons!

Test either the Chernobylite Blaster or enjoy the Anti-Chernobylite Burner that will help you to access the already mentioned new locations. Warning! Don’t visit them unless you’re not ready for a whole load of new events, as we’ve added over 40 of them within all levels.

AI improvements

Get ready for a perceptible change in the way soldiers behave when patrolling and searching for you. But most importantly, beware of the Black Stalker, as fighting him now is a real challenge. Mark our words.

Check how much of your feedback was implemented in the game

In short: you talked, we listened. And then added changes to the game, re-designed, iterated, and overall made sure that Chernobylite truly is a joint effort – it’ll be as much your game as it is ours. This means that, among other things, we’ve enlarged the base with an area that was previously flooded with water. We’ve also completely rebuilt the looting system. Now, what your opponent’s drop should be both more interesting and better suited for the challenge. Since you didn’t really like the possibility of building cover while exploring the Zone, we’ve replaced it with the possibility of building machines that have a global impact on the area. Following your request, we’ve also added the ability to toggle aim and crouch, as well as an alternative way to use the dodge ability. And that’s the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the number of changes this Mega Patch brings, so dive in HERE for the full changelog.

And if you want to see how the developers summarized the last year of development – take a look HERE.

Citing the new Cyberpunk 2077 release date, EVERSPACE™ 2 will be launching into Steam Early Access January, 2021

Hamburg, Germany – October 30, 2020 – ROCKFISH Games has announced in their latest Kickstarter update that the Steam Early Access launch of their highly anticipated upcoming space looter shooter EVERSPACE 2 is being delayed to January. 

“Porting the original EVERSPACE to last-gen consoles was quite a challenge for us back in the day, so we can only imagine what a challenge it must be to bring a massive title like Cyberpunk 2077 to Xbox One and PlayStation 4,” says Michael Schade, CEO & co-founder of ROCKFISH Games. “Unfortunately, this is also a major blow for any other game that was scheduled during that week. We know from our community that there is quite an audience overlap between the two titles, so we decided to get out of the way and push back our release to January. We are aware that EVERSPACE 2 fans will be unhappy, but competing with the arguably most anticipated video game in history is just not a good idea. To give this a positive spin, we’ve decided to send out pre-release keys with closed Beta access to all eligible Kickstarter backers on November 2nd, so they can play the first 10ish hours of EVERSPACE 2 a month earlier. Furthermore, we also plan to give away 200 additional Beta pre-release keys good for the closed beta only through media partners and our weekly community streams to ease the pain for a few lucky space pilots.”

To help tide the EVERSPACE 2™ community over the holiday season, The ROCKFISH Games team has decided to send out pre-release keys for the closed beta to all Kickstarter backers who pledged on the Just A Digital Copy, Please and higher.

This news was announced alongside an early look at the Gunship class of heavy fighters and a sneak peek at plans for the all-new crafting system. 

As in any looter shooter, defeating enemies and completing quests will provide rewards that aren’t always what a player is seeking for their ideal build. The new crafting system comes into play to produce valuable equipment also from collected lower-level items. Primary weapons, secondary weapons, and ship modules can be improved, and players will be able to collect rare blueprints for epic weapons and equipment over the course of the game.

In addition, ROCKFISH Games presents the first details about the Gunship, a heavy, armed to the teeth heavy fighter subclass with a devastating 360 ° targeting automated turret as its ultimate special ability. 

The team plans to add this new ship class and crafting to EVERSPACE 2™ for the Early Access launch in January 2021.
