Sydney, Australia, March 23rd 2021 Koch Media, a leading global publishing partner and Bloober Team, an independent games developer, announce their publishing partnership for The Medium, a psychological horror gameas well as Observer: System Redux, the award-winning cyberpunk thriller. With its extensive marketing- and communications experience as well as a huge global network, Koch Media will be fully responsible for the upcoming publishing activities regarding the box releases worldwide.

Dr. Klemens Kundratitz, CEO at Koch Media adds: “We are pleased to welcome Bloober Team as an exciting new publishing partner and will be thrilled to work with them on their growing game portfolio globally. The Medium as well as the award-winning Observer: System Redux. Both titles fit perfectly to our diversified games line-up.”

The Medium is a third-person psychological horror game that features an innovative dual-reality gameplay, unique art style inspired by painter Zdzisław Beksiński, and original soundtrack co-composed by Arkadiusz Reikowski and Akira Yamaoka. Players discover a dark mystery only a medium can solve. They explore the real world and the spirit world at the same time, use their psychic abilities to solve puzzles spanning both worlds, uncover deeply disturbing secrets, and survive encounters with The Maw – a monster born from an unspeakable tragedy…

Observer: System Redux is the definitive vision of the award-winning cyberpunk thriller, rebuilt and augmented for the next generation.

The year is 2084. The future has turned out much darker than anyone could imagine. First, there was the Nanophage. A digital plague that killed thousands upon thousands of those who chose to augment their minds and bodies. Then came the War, leaving both the West and the East decimated and shattered. With no one left to seize power, corporations took over and forged their own crooked empires.

You are a tool of corporate oppression. Feared and despised, you hack into the darkest corners of your suspects’ minds. You creep into their dreams, expose their fears, and extract whatever your investigation may require. You are an Observer.

Lidia Sobieska Joins the Next Battle in TEKKEN 7 on March 23rd

Lidia Sobieska Joins the Next Battle in TEKKEN 7 on March 23rd

Get ready for the next battle along with a new fighter and stage to join the TEKKEN 7 ranks! Lidia Sobieska, the fictional young Prime Minister of Poland from the TEKKEN 7 universe will be joining the roster of playable characters in TEKKEN 7’s next DLC drop.

Born into a prominent political family, Lidia was destined to be a politician from an early age. Despite her family lineage in the political realm, Lidia was always more focused on pursuing her training in traditional karate. Unfortunately, an assassination attempt on her grandfather and father would change her fate and steer her back into continuing her family’s political ambitions. However, she never let go of her martial arts pursuits and at the age of 18, won her first karate world championship. As the war between the Mishima Zaibatsu and the G Corporation raged in different global regions, the Mishima Zaibatsu had illegally deployed Tekken Force units in parts of Poland. This caused an outcry from Polish citizens for a stronger leader and Lidia answered that call, finally being elected as Poland’s Prime Minister at the young age of 29.

Her arrival has been much anticipated, and players will now have a new character to master and take into battle. Players will also be able to have battles under the sunshine and palm trees in the new Island Paradise stage.

TEKKEN 7 is available now in the Americas on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PCs via STEAM®.

ROAR INTO EPIC, SEAMLESSLY CONNECTED SPACE BATTLES AND FRENETIC SPACE NINJA COMBAT IN WARFRAME’S CORPUS PROXIMA & THE NEW RAILJACK UPDATE TODAY

Build a Crew, Battle and Board Massive Enemy Ships, Explore New Aerial Tactics With Zephyr Rework/Deluxe and Prepare for Call of the Tempestarii, Coming Soon to All Platforms

LONDON, ONTARIO – March 19, 2021 – Empowered by player feedback to fulfil Warframe®’s ultimate space fantasy, Digital Extremes has delivered an ambitious re-imagining of space-battle gameplay with the streamlined Corpus Proxima & The New Railjack today on PC. Seamlessly intertwining large-scale space combat with fast, frenetic ninja action, Corpus Proxima & The New Railjack ramps Warframe’s space fantasy to new levels of intensity, while setting the stage for Call of the Tempestarii, which debuts the reaper-like Warframe Sevagoth and a ghostly Railjack story quest this spring on all platforms.

Tenno can earn everything for free in Corpus Proxima & The New Railjack or they can jump into the action and save time by purchasing Railjack in-game through three bundle tiers, including the Railjack, Crew Slots, Nautilus Sentinel and Nautilus Sentinel Accessories. See Warframe.com for more details and pricing.

The player-friendly Dev Workshop Video summarizes how and why changes were made to Railjack and shows how improvements will benefit new and veteran players alike. Make sure to watch the bold new Zephyr Rework in the gameplay video below, and prepare to command the sky with her enhanced Abilities and sleek new Deluxe skin in this update today.

Watch the Dev Workshop Video
Watch new Zephyr Deluxe gameplay

Build, Board and Battle 
Re-worked to embody the core Warframe experience, every aspect of Corpus Proxima & The New Railjack’s redesign is renovated and simplified for less grind and less reliance on matchmaking. Now, all players can enjoy building their personal Railjacks, boarding Corpus Capital ships to sabotage from within, or annihilating them with an arsenal of new ordnance.

“Integrating some of our players’ favorite gameplay, like Necramechs, and adding new core Warframe modes, into this new update transforms Corpus Proxima & The New Railjack into something more unified and essential,” said Sheldon Carter, COO. “This update is so incredibly diverse!”

Corpus Proxima & The New Railjack embraces epic spaceship battles more than ever, with integrated new gameplay modes interwoven with core, familiar gameplay. Tenno can still rely on their favorite Archwing Slingshot to board and pilot enemy ships, and collect, fight and explore in their battleship. But Railjack missions now unite classic Warframe gameplay with Railjack battles, core reward loops, and even hardcore mech gameplay.

New Modes, Expanded Gameplay
By introducing the heavy guns of Necramech gameplay into Corpus Proxima & The New Railjack, players will experience a new sense of variety, surprise, and powerful artillery to crush Corpus forces into oblivion.

With the expansion of Orphix mode (introduced in the Orphix Venom Event late last year) into space battles, players can now board enemy ships and take down sentient invaders using Operators and their devastatingly powerful Necramechs. By weaving in familiar gameplay elements in a new way, players can now hunt and collect valuable Arcanes to boost their Warframes instead of earning currency, and crack relics to unlock Warframes and for the first time, Warframe Primes, such as Ash Prime! 

And blending even more variety into Corpus Proxima & The New Railjack, the all new mission “Volatile” invites players to take on the ultimate challenge — to sabotage the biggest enemy threat, the Corpus Capital ship! Help Cephalon Cy from the inside to create a Reactor failure while fighting off enemy engineers bent on your destruction. This is just the beginning of a slew of new content with more to come!

New Intrinsics and Avionics
The re-worked, improved Command Intrinsics give battle-ready Tenno more control, more gametime, and less waiting around. Command your own NPC crew  by recruiting, leveling up, customizing and commanding AI.

Similarly, the newly reworked Avionics System shifts power from the ship to the individual player using the Harness System, so players use their individual skills and powers, as well as squad-wide buffs, to customize their Railjack crews for more control and deadlier firefights.

“The shift from ship-side to player-side Command Intrinsics makes a world of difference,” said lead producer Dave Kudirka. “We’re very psyched for players to try out our new NPCs!”

More Fun, Less Grind
The more streamlined experience also means players don’t need a Dojo or Drydock to own a Railjack, and Relays will play a more intuitive part in recruiting crews for missions across a variety of planets.

“We thought a lot about how to make Railjack better and more fun,” explained Carter. “Player feedback was very direct. You told us straight up, ‘give us more control and streamline the experience’ and this update is built with that input in every aspect.”

Building up the Railjack and recruiting a crew is not only key to defeating the Corpus now, it’s crucial to recruiting the new Warframe Sevagoth, countering Void Storms, and experiencing the ghostly Railjack story quest in the Call of the Tempestarii.

Take the fight to the Corpus now! Download Corpus Proxima & The New Railjackhere, save time by purchasing Railjack Bundles in-game, and prepare for the Call of the Tempestarii this spring!
