PLAY FOR FREE AS EARTH’S MIGHTIEST HEROES THIS WEEKEND IN THE MARVEL’S AVENGERS OPEN BETA

SYDNEY, 21^st August 2020 – This weekend, SQUARE ENIX® is giving players the chance to get a sneak peek of Marvel’s Avengers for free during the game’s Open Beta, providing budding Super Heroes with a comprehensive hands-on experience with the game ahead of its worldwide launch on September 4.
 
The Marvel’s Avengers Open Beta will be available from August 21 to 23 for all PlayStation®4, Xbox One, and PC players.
 
The beta includes four of the game’s single-player campaign Hero Missions, three HARM Room challenges, four War Zones, and five Drop Zones. All of this content adds up to hours and hours of Super Hero action! War Zones and Drop Zones can be played solo with any of the heroes in a player’s roster as AI companions or cooperatively in groups of up to four players.
 
PlayStation 4 and Xbox One players who link their Square Enix Members and Epic Games accounts then and complete the beta’s three HARM-room challenges will earn the Hulk Smashers Pickaxe with bonus Hulkbuster style in Epic Games’ free-to-play game, Fortnite*.
 
“Our previous beta weekends have already seen millions of gamers spend tens of millions of hours teaming up and smashing enemies as their favorite Super Heroes,” said Scot Amos, studio head at developer Crystal Dynamics. “We’re really looking forward to opening up the beta to anyone who wants to play on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC so they too can take the role of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes.”
  
A Square Enix Members account will be required to play the beta. Players can sign up for the account for free at https://membership.square-enix.com/register. Everyone who signs up for an account will receive a Thor in-game nameplate in the final game.

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 you equip them with and the skills you 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 in all media, others crafted as originals just for this game.
 
Players also customize these iconic Super Heroes with classic, fan-favourite, and all-new original outfits inspired by over 80-years of Marvel history, 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, 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.
 
Marvel’s Avengers will release simultaneously 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.

*Offer only available on PlayStation 4 & Xbox One. Additional terms apply. For more details visit fortnite.com.

**Internet connection required. Your platform’s online multiplayer requirements will apply.

Galaxy Superyacht Week
Yacht Mission Bonuses Plus Triple Rewards in Trap Door, T-Shirt Unlocks and More

This week, take to the high seas for a perfect storm of high stakes and hijinks.

Yacht owners can continue to earn Double Rewards on A Superyacht Life:  from scavenging a local wreck to shooting it out with Speedophiling interlopers. Call Captain Darcy up on your iFruit, speak to the skipper in person on the bridge of your vessel or join up with other players to take on these six Contact Missions:

Overboard
A team of pesky joyriders and their buddies are making a break for it. Put things right by chasing them down across the waves and making sure they sleep with the fishes.

Salvage
Strap on a rebreather and hit an underwater wreck for salvageable cargo to bring back to your yacht. It’s not a crime, probably – you’re practically cleaning up the oceans. Keep an eye out as you return to your vessel, though. Things may not have gone as swimmingly for Captain Darcy.

All Hands
Your patrons and beneficiaries at the Pacific Country Club need help putting out some literal fires. Fly a newly customized Tula over the links and drop water bombs from above to extinguish the flames and save the day. The one percent will thank you later.

Icebreaker
The Captain wants his vengeance on those who wronged him; head to the Defrost Fridgit warehouse and help him exact revenge.

Bon Voyage
Time to put your feet up and relax. What could go wrong? Besides a perfect storm and wave after wave of attackers armed to the teeth, that is. That could very well happen.

D-Day
At the end of the day, it is a captain’s duty to always tie up loose ends. Hop in a Kraken sub, find the big bad’s yacht and bring an end to this madness.

Complete any Superyacht Life Mission this week and come back next week to receive the Six Figure Tee, just in time to show it off at the next boat club cocktail party.

Triple Rewards in Trap Door
Continue the action over the Pacific and shoot it out against your competitors on a fast-shrinking platform in Trap Door. Kill your foes and banish them to the dreaded red zone, where they will have just seconds to make it back to safe ground before the ground disappears out from under them, dooming them to a watery grave. Stay alive to earn Triple GTA$ & RP on all games of Trap Door, all week long.

Double Rewards in Transform Races
Shift gears and shapes alike: whether you are behind the wheel of a Lampadati supercar or the controls of a Seashark cutting a wake across the waves, all Transform Races dish out double for the next seven days.  

All players who log into GTA Online this week will receive a throwback from the heydays of seedy Liberty City internet cafes – the TW@ Logo Tee – absolutely free of charge.

On the Podium This Week: The Pfister 811

Swing by the lobby of The Diamond Casino & Resort any time this week and give the Lucky Wheel a spin for the opportunity to win cash prizes, clothing, RP, mystery prizes and more. This week on the podium is the Pfister 811, a supercar with literal billions of dollars’ worth of research under the hood, so please be careful out there on the hairpins and corners.

Sony Interactive Entertainment has debuted its first global spot for PlayStation which showcases some of the immersive gameplay that players will experience on the new PS5™console, launching Holiday 2020. 

In the first global digital ad for the PS5 console, players will see the new console’s features come to life through a young woman’s eyes and her movements. It starts as she walks across a frozen lake, feeling the crack of ice at her feet. As the character senses danger, the sudden explosive reveal of the kraken from the icy surface showcases the haptic feedback sensation that can be felt from the DualSense™ wireless controller for the PS5 console.

Sound then comes from all directions as the central character reacts to everything she hears – whether it’s coming from the front, the side, above, or from behind her – showcasing the PS5 console’s Tempest 3D AudioTech. Closing out the spot – as the central character draws her bow – the tension of her bowstring is a sensation players will also feel, made possible through the DualSense wireless controller’s adaptive triggers.

Mary Je, Vice President of Global Marketing at SIE took to the PlayStation Blog to say, “We are quite excited about these features and we can’t wait for you all to get more immersed in the world of games with the PS5 console and DualSense wireless controller in your own hands.”

Sony Interactive Entertainment’s partners in the development community have been hard at work either creating or dreaming up the next generation of games. Head to the PlayStation Blog to read more as they share how the adaptive triggers and haptic feedback in the DualSense wireless controller is providing new game experiences on PS5™.

Watch the new ad for yourself here, otherwise, stay tuned for more news over the coming weeks.

Check out the full collection of Season One episodes, with new episodes releasing every Thursday through Sept. 3. For more on the characters and irreverent world of 3 out of 10, hang out with Terrible Posture Games on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Discord, and the official website.
