THIRD MARVEL’S AVENGERS WAR TABLE REVEALS POST-LAUNCH HERO KATE BISHOP AND MORE
Marvel’s Avengers WAR TABLE Gives Viewers More Details About Game’s High-Level Content
SYDNEY, 2nd September 2020 – Today, SQUARE ENIX® released the third Marvel’s Avengers WAR TABLE digital stream, providing a new in-depth look at the game ahead of its launch on September 4 on PlayStation®4, Xbox, and PC.
Kicking things off, viewers who watched the Marvel’s Avengers WAR TABLE live via the PlayAvengers.com channel were the first to get details about the game’s daily and weekly missions, as well as four new high-level mission types they’ll encounter as they progress through the Avengers Initiative: Villain Sectors, SHIELD Vaults, AIM’s Secret Lab, and Mega Hives.
Villain Sectors are special missions that provide epic showdowns with powerful bosses that players will want to return to as their Heroes get closer to the game’s power-level cap of 150, while SHIELD Vaults are treasure troves of resources, gear, and secrets that must be discovered and unlocked.
Players looking to test their mettle will look forward to teaming up with three friends to tackle AIM’s Secret Lab, a mission only accessible after reaching the game’s highest power levels. Available once a week, the AIM Secret Lab raid will culminate in a massive boss fight influenced by how well players’ teams performed throughout the mission.
Mega Hives will put players’ full Super Hero roster to the test as they fight their way through a gauntlet of descending floors packed with enemies. The farther they go down, the higher the difficulty goes up, and once all their Heroes are defeated, players will have to start over from the very beginning.
The Marvel’s Avengers WAR TABLE also revealed a new post-launch Hero coming as part of the game’s Avengers Initiative, Kate Bishop. Kate’s Operation, “Taking AIM,” kicks off in late October featuring a new villain and new mystery. Bishop, who is mentored by Clint Barton, comes with distinct Heroic Skills and takedowns that only an Olympic-caliber gymnast and master archer like Kate can pull off.
Kate Bishop will be the first new Hero introduced to Marvel’s Avengers after its launch on September 4. Taking AIM’s story begins shortly after the conclusion of the game’s Reassemble campaign and is just the first half of the two Hawkeyes’ Story Arc. Clint Barton’s Hawkeye takes the stage in November to complete the double-feature and lay the groundwork for what’s next.
These new post-launch Heroes will be made available to all Marvel’s Avengers owners at no additional cost and will continue to move the entire narrative world forward. More information about the Hawkeye Story Arc, as well as additional post-launch content will be available soon.
Previous Marvel’s Avengers WAR TABLES have included other major reveals, like details on the game’s central villain, MODOK (Mental Organism Designed Only for Killing) and the unveiling of Clint Barton’s Hawkeye, one of the first post-launch heroes who will be added to the game.

Marvel’s Avengers will be available for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on September 4, 2020. Marvel’s Avengers will be available on PlayStation®5 and Xbox Series X when the consoles launch in Holiday 2020. Players who own the current-gen version of the game will be able to upgrade to the next-gen version at no additional cost, regardless if players are moving from PlayStation® 4 to PlayStation 5 or Xbox One to Xbox Series X. Those moving their saves to next-gen will transfer their player profiles and progression so they can pick up right where they left off. In addition, cross-gen play will be supported so PS5™ players will be able to play with their friends on PS4™ and Xbox Series X players will be connected with their friends on Xbox One.
ABOUT MARVEL’S AVENGERS
Marvel’s Avengers offers players a truly rich experience, with a combination of Hero Missions and War Zones. Hero Missions are single-player only and are part of the initial Campaign. They are designed to showcase each hero’s unique abilities as you reassemble your growing roster. War Zones can be played solo or with a group of up to four players* as any Hero in your roster. Each mission dynamically scales based on the team size and player level.
Players in Marvel’s Avengers are also able to customize Earth’s Mightiest Heroes in a number of ways. While each Super Hero plays true to their unique power sets, each has the flexibility to play differently based on the gear players equip and the skills they enable, so no two player’s heroes plays in exactly the same way. Each hero has dynamic combo systems, heroic moves, an intrinsic ability, and signature move sets to unlock and customize – many inspired by classic moves from the 80 years of Marvel history across all media, while others are crafted as originals just for this game.
Players also customize these iconic Super Heroes with classic, fan-favorite, and all-new original outfits, including Iron Man’s suit from the 2014 Original Sin storyline, or Thor’s Donald Blake identity, which is a nod to an alias of Thor’s who first appeared in 1962’s Journey into Mystery issue #83.
Marvel’s Avengers is an ambitious game, starting with a global high-stakes race to reassemble and rebuild the Avengers. But that’s just the beginning. To ensure a continuing heroic experience for all players, the narrative of Marvel’s Avengers expands through the Avengers Initiative, and threats escalate with each new post-release Super Hero, region and story arc delivered to players at no additional cost once they own the core game.

Hardcore Action-RPG No Place for Bravery Gets PAX Online Demo Starting Sept. 12
Go Hands-on with 2021 Release for a Limited Time
BRASÍLIA, Brazil — 1 Sept. 2020 —No Place for Bravery, a hardcore action-RPG exploring the lengths a parent would go to find their child in a war torn world, will receive a limited-time free demo on Steam for PC from Saturday, 12 Sept. to Sunday, 20 Sept. Developer Glitch Factory and publisher Ysbryd Games (VA-11 HALL-A, WORLD OF HORROR, Masquerada: Songs and Shadows)will release the demo as part of PAX Online ahead of the game’s full release on Steam for PC and Nintendo Switch in 2021.
In the devastated high fantasy world of No Place for Bravery,Thorn, a former soldier, lays down his sword as a lifetime of blood spilt weighs heavy on his shoulders. When news reaches Thorn of his daughter Leaf’s survival, long-lost and presumed dead, a chance for redemption rises. Across a world ravaged by brutality and violence, Thorn sets out with his foster son to find Leaf and unearth the truth about her disappearance.
Travel the ancient world of Dewr, where godlike titans have devastated much of humanity. Vibrant pixel art brings to life a cryptic, somber art direction where mysterious monuments and colossal skeletons tower over people struggling to survive. Like the bandits, cultists, and tribes standing in his way, Thorn is simply mortal, but new skills and attacks acquired and remembered throughout the journey will give him a fighting chance.
Inspired by the atmospheric mystique of brutally difficult action-RPGs, No Place for Bravery’s open world awaits. In the playable demo, triumph over intense combat scenarios where every swing carries weight and consequence. Adapt to foes with different attack styles and weapons while getting a sneak peek at white-knuckle boss fights to come. Timing is key; death comes with but a few sword strokes stand between life and death, and using Thorn’s limited resources at the right moment could mean the difference between life and death.
“Reaching the violent ends of Thorn’s journey will be punishing but fair,” said Brian Kwek, founder of Ysbryd Games. “A struggle awaits at every step of his redemption story, but determined players will find an engrossing narrative, richly detailed characters, and powerful reflections that may strike your very heart.”
No Place for Bravery’s playable demo will be available from 12 Sept. to 20 Sept. on Steam for PC in advance of its full release on Steam for PC and Nintendo Switch in 2021. Prepare for a harsh adventure by visiting the website, joining the Discord server, and following Glitch Factory on Twitter. Spend some time with Ysbryd Games on Twitter, Discord, and Twitch.
About Ysbryd Games
Publisher Ysbryd Games delivers games with stories that have the heart and soul to stay with players for a lifetime, underlined by captivating gameplay and striking aesthetics.
Making games in the heart of Brazil since 2012, Glitch Factory’s founders dreamed of working in games, but finding few opportunities in their home country, they started their own company. Working both with clients and on their own titles, Glitch Factory operates with a horizontal structure where everyone has a voice in the decision-making process.
Anshar Studios is happy to confirm that their upcoming cyberpunk isometric RPG will also launch on Nintendo Switch. This means that platform owners won’t miss the chance to get to know this incredibly authentic RPG experience, where every decision is important and comes with consequences. Imagine a Warsaw City of the future and a world that always adapts to the decisions you make. As the story progresses, your hero adapts as well. Just like in real life, the consequences of your choices can be immediate, long-term, or stay hidden, surfacing only when you least expect them. Whatever you decide, the game will remain neutral, without judging your choices or suggesting “better” options. It’s up to you to evaluate what you’ve done, as in Gamedec, you are the sum of your choices.
It’s worth to consider adding the game to your wishlist on Steam (https://store.steampowered.com/app/917720/Gamedec/). Especially that just recently Gamedec won first place in the devcom Indie Awards and got two nominations for the Best RPG (Gamescom Awards) and Best Story (Indie Arena Booth).
Back in April of this year, Gamedec not only tripled its initial $50,000 Kickstarter goal but finished the campaign with more than $170,000 collected and a promise that if the $200,000 mark is reached, the game will also be released on Nintendo Switch. A day or two longer, and thanks to gamers’ tremendous support, this stretch goal would have been in the books as well. But the campaign ended, and the developers faced a choice. They could either move forward accepting that Switch owners will miss the opportunity to play the game, or show how grateful they are that so many players believed in their project and bring the game to Nintendo’s console anyway. Naturally, they decided to go with the second option.
During Gamescom, gamers recently had the chance to try out the game’s PC demo version available on Steam at the Indie Arena Booth and GOG.com simultaneously. Those who missed it should mark PAX Online on their calendars, because between September 12th and 20th, the Gamedec PC demo will again become available on both of those platforms for all willing to conduct their first investigations as gaming detectives.
Chinese gamers should also keep an eye on the Sonkwo online event that will take place between September 10th and 13th, where the Gamedec PC demo will be available.
ABOUT GAMEDEC
Gamedec is an authentic RPG experience where every decision is important and comes with consequences. The world in which you live adapts to each decision you make. As the story progresses, your hero adapts as well. Just like in “real” life, the consequences of your choices can be immediate, long-term, or stay hidden, surfacing only when you least expect them. Whatever you decide, the game will remain neutral, without judging your choices or suggesting “better” options. It is up to you to evaluate what you’ve done, bearing in mind that you are the sum of your choices.
Anshar Studios returns to the foundations of the RPG genre with their new game, built on mechanics like Deduction, the Codex, and Aspects. These allow for complex conversations and interactions as players create or expose networks of conspiracies while discovering unusual relationships between virtual worlds. Gamedec’s pen-and-paper based RPG mechanics give players the freedom to approach situations from multiple perspectives.
YOU ARE THE SUM OF YOUR CHOICES
Your goal is to hunt down the criminals of virtual worlds – rich and spoiled businesspeople, parents who want better lives for their children, corporations with plans to rewrite history. Are they acting alone, or are they mere puppets? What does a “happy ending” mean to you? To them? Each decision changes the world around you and your character’s personality. Some decisions will feel right, but others might be unexpected.
EXPLORE THE CYBERPUNK OF THE 22ND CENTURY
Welcome to Warsaw City in the 22nd century, where “real” is relative and “life” and “death” have many meanings. Real and virtual worlds have merged, giving rise to ancient vices: lust, sloth, pride, envy… That’s why everyone needs gamedecs – specialists who solve real problems in virtual worlds. Be it the Wild West or a prehistoric amusement park, these and many other worlds reveal our inclinations and weaknesses.
EXPERIENCE THE ESSENCE OF ROLE-PLAYING
Use your wits to gather info from witnesses and suspects, get to the bottom of deceptive schemes, save lives, and investigate the extraordinary relationships between virtual worlds and their inhabitants. Gamedec emulates the nature of tabletop RPGs by focusing on character development through decision making. As in classic tabletop RPGs, you’re given the freedom to approach situations from multiple angles rather than forcing a single solution – the choice is yours and yours alone.
Gamedec is currently in development and available for wishlisting on Steam and GOG.com.
More information can be found on the game’s official website, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Discord.

Paradox Interactive’s Iconic Grand Strategy Title Ascends to the Throne
STOCKHOLM – 01 September 2020 – The realm rejoices as Paradox Interactive announces the launch of Crusader Kings III, the latest entry in the publisher’s grand strategy role-playing game franchise. Advisors may now jockey for positions of influence and adversaries should save their schemes for another day, because on this day Crusader Kings III can be purchased for a suggested retail price of $49.99/ £41.99/ €49.99 on Steam, the Paradox Store, and other major online retailers.
Crusader Kings III is the newest entry in the fabled grand strategy franchise. Guide a royal house through history, governing land, culture, religion, military operations and more in this game of medieval empire and bloodline management. Scheme from the shadows or march your armies openly to expand your borders. Utilize diplomacy and family, leveraging relationships and influence, to protect your lineage. For if you do not produce a suitable heir, your line – and your game – ends.
Crusader Kings III features:
A Tale of Lords and Lineage: Every character has their own unique history and personality traits which are reflected in their portraits and the decisions they make. Events and options in the game are largely determined by the type of lord you play as, and the personalities of others must be plied in the right ways to achieve your goals.
Wide and Varied Lands: With a map ranging from Europe to Africa, Asia, and the Indian subcontinent, you can assume the role of a noble house from nearly any culture. From the Vikings of Scandinavia to the tribes of Africa and the hordes of the Asian Steppe, this is your medieval sandbox.
A Truly Noble Life: Enjoy a rich tapestry of courtly medieval life – court spouses, hire counselors, and raise armies. Entertain wandering guests, cultivate the ideal heir to cement your line, and send your more troublesome offspring off to foster elsewhere.

Disputes Solved by the Sword: When diplomacy has run its course take what should be yours by rallying your vassals calling your men-at-arms. Crushing rebellions and laying siege to enemy castles can prove a quick path to honor. But remember that true strategy requires cunning…
Statecraft From The Shadows: Sometimes a scheme, the most subtle of diplomacy, is the most effective – a knife in the dark, a secret to be leveraged, a spouse seduced…
Saints and Sinners: Set the religious course of your kingdom, whether that be keeping the faith or embracing a heresy to better align with your goals. If all else fails, start your own religion!

Rebel Galaxy Outlaw is a prequel to 2015’s Rebel Galaxy, this time dropping you straight into the cockpit. Take up the role of Juno Markev, an outlaw and smuggler who went straight and settled down until events conspired to drag her back into her former life. After an encounter in a shady watering hole goes bad, your ship is trashed, and you find yourself in debt to an old friend and casino owner who gives you a floating garbage truck and some words of advice.
