Systemic Reaction’s Co-op Dino Shooter Second Extinction
Coming September 2020 to Steam Early Access

STOCKHOLM — Aug. 12, 2020 — Systemic Reaction, a creative division of Avalanche Studios Group, has revealed that Second Extinction, the intense online co-op shooter in which teams of up to three players battle to reclaim Earth from mutated dinosaurs, will enter Steam Early Access for PC in September 2020.

“Our goal with early access is to craft a long-term experience that’s fun and enjoyable for our players from day one,” said Second Extinction Product Owner Julianne Harty. “With every update, we want to ensure the game is engaging and see what features resonate the most — we’re very eager to hear what the community has to say about where they want the game to go!”

Second Extinction delivers non-stop action, forcing players to think fast and shoot faster in quick but intense combat operations across a dangerous frozen world. Fight side by side with your friends against a variety of beastly predators long thought extinct — now mutated and deadlier than ever!

The heart of that battle is Second Extinction’s global metagame: the War Effort. By slaying dinos, completing missions, and taking on additional activities around the world, players will impact the threat level designation and have a hand in deciding the level of challenges they’ll face planetside. This constant wave of conflict will affect the kind of enemies, activities, rewards and more you’ll encounter in any given region.

“The War Effort reflects the changes in the ongoing fight against the dinosaurs and ensures you’ll always have to stay on your toes. It’s a highly interactive, community-driven environment for players to fight in, letting us create new content that evolves over time,” said Harty. “The War Effort is an integral part of how we’ll introduce new dinosaurs, missions, and more as a live service experience, and it’s a feature we’re excited to fully flesh out throughout early access.”

Key Features:

• Intense Three-player Co-op — Earth is overrun by mutated dinosaurs! Team up with up to two other resistance fighters to take it back in short but intense combat operations.
• Battle Mutated Monstrosities — These dinos are nothing like the ones in your history books! From electric raptors to behemoth T-Rexes, these deadly creatures have evolved into the ultimate killing machines.
• Experience Spectacular Action — Combine your fireteam’s unique weapons and abilities for explosive results against overwhelming opposition in challenging combat set pieces.
• Take Part in a Joint War Effort — Your actions, together with the rest of the community, will shape the course of the war against the dinosaurs.

Second Extinction is available to wishlist now on Steam. It is also in development for Xbox Series X and Xbox One. For more information, visit www.SecondExtinctionGame.com, and follow @2nd_Extinction on Twitter.

Evade the enemy in ground and air based ExoSuit skirmishes in Gingerbreds new sci-fi shooter

San Francisco, USA – August 12th, 2020 – Independent developer Gingerbread today announced that their new sci-fi multiplayer shooter ExoCorps will be coming to Steam Early Access for PC on September 17th. Explore the vast alien landscapes on foot or go airborne with your built in full-flight jet-pack as you undertake stealth-based seek and destroy missions.

ExoCorps is the tactical combat platform of the future and an international initiative is testing new military technologies for use across the globe and into the solar system. ExoCorps units are armed with a formidable six in one multirifle, capable of delivering a range of lethal ordnance including auto-cannon fire, multi rockets, plasma bolts, and mingun onslaught. Players can also deliver long range lethality by seeking higher ground for sniper based kills with the deadly rail gun or laser.

Drawing gameplay inspiration from classic game titles such as Counter-Strike and Tribes, with a dash of the epic aerial duels featured in animes such as Macross, ExoCorps is a multiplayer arena FPS set in the near future. At its core, ExoCorps is a game where combat prowess and gaining the tactical advantage over your foe in a cat and mouse hunt to the death is the difference between success and failure.

Mastering an ExoCorps suit isn’t just about deftly evading enemy fire, as players will need to manage power resources too, since ammo and health draw from the same pool. Fly for too long and heat seeker missiles will have no problem locking on to the heat signature of the Exosuits powerful jet propulsion system. Armed with awesome firepower, some keen flying skills and stealthy ground work, players can bring the full range of their tactical combat skills to bear as they hunt down their elusive and cunning foe.

ExCorps will support Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, and Capture the Flag modes and also launches with five maps, for more information check out https://exocorpsgame.com/

6 New Co-Op Missions

Galaxy Superyacht owners can host six new co-op missions ready to launch from the bridge of their vessel, or by simply calling the captain from their iFruit Phone. Play solo or invite an Organization for backup as you embark on nautical vengeance.

As an added bonus, get Double Rewards on these new maritime adventures through August 19^th. Host and complete all six missions to instantly unlock a unique sea-faring outfit.

9 New Open Wheel Race Tracks

Today’s update debuts two new Open Wheel racecars and a new Open Wheel Race Series with nine fresh tracks to leave your skid marks on, from racing across Land Act Dam to dodging turbines in RON Alternates Windfarm.

There are also a few improvements to Open Wheel gameplay – including the ability to change tire type when pitting and new visible tire wear and body damage indicators. In addition, players who find themselves driving the wrong way around a course – or sitting stationary on the track for too long – will be ghosted to other drivers.

Plus, get Double Rewards on all Rockstar created Open Wheel Races this week.

Open Wheel Race Creator

Equipped with a bevy of tools at their disposal in the new Open Wheel Race Creator, adrenaline junkies will now be able to design and craft their own hi-octane experiences with customs tracks.

The Open Wheel Race Creator delivers over 60 new props, including racetrack archways, pit-stops, paddocks and more. Just keep an eye out for bits of twisted chassis and flying loose wheels – some hairpins might be a little too tight.

All New Business Battles

When the notification for new Business Battles arrives while you’re sipping a chilled Blêuter’d from the roof of the Diamond Casino and Resort, drop everything and kick into action. These revamped competitions are taking place at new locations across the map and carrying massively increased rewards.

Trek out to sea and stage a cooperative assault on an idling aircraft carrier before duking it out for the goods, or fight and hack your way through one of several factories to reach the nucleus and earn a hefty pay-day. Bring your squad to maximize your return on investment.

And now through August 19^th, winning a Business Battle will earn you the Pink Dot Tech Mask, on top of all the other rewards.

Diamond Adversary Series

Casing and robbing the joint is fun, but sometimes you need to scratch that competitive itch. The Diamond Adversary Series brings eight high-stakes modes to the glitzy, glamorous confines of The Diamond Casino & Resort including tense favorites like Every Bullet Counts and Slasher and outright competitive mayhem in Hardest Target and Resurrection.

The Diamond Adversary Series is dealing Double Rewards this week, and it can be launched via the Quick Job Menu or by entering the updated Bunker Series Icon near The Diamond Casino & Resort.

2 New Arcade Cabinets

If you find yourself yearning for a simpler time, perhaps back in the day when 16 bits was plenty, there’s good news for you – all the way from Liberty City, the classic arcade game QUB3D is making its way to Arcades across Los Santos.

Axe of Fury also becomes available – a strength test designed to help you prove to your friends/ex-partner/despondent parents just how big and strong and cool you really are.

And if you have more quarters to rub together than friends, you’ll be chuffed to learn that Street Crimes: Gang Wars can now be played as a single-player game against AI opponents.

All games – both classic and contemporary – can be purchased from Pixel Emporium on your Arcade Laptop.

New Collectibles, Ambient Events and More

Famous film executive Solomon Richards was robbed recently and he’s looking for someone to help return his collection of famous movie props. Visit Solomon’s office, then track down all 10 props for a special reward from the man himself.

There are also numerous reports of low-level drug deals taking place on the streets – keep an eye out for any vehicles and activities that seem more suspicious than usual.

The summer season brings hundreds of new clothing items to stores across Southern San Andreas & Blaine County – including leather jackets, tracksuits, shirts, masks, tees and much more.

Fixes and Improvements

A number of quality-of-life improvements have been added to GTA Online:

• Players can now return Personal Vehicles to storage via an option within the Interaction Menu.

• Requesting a Pegasus Vehicle is more convenient than ever, with many additional spawn locations being added to reduce your travel time to the closest available location.
• Players can now own up to eight different Properties
• When entering the Diamond Casino & Resort, punters will now be told how long they will need to wait before spinning the Lucky Wheel again. That’s the last time you’ll see a clock inside of The Diamond, though, that’s for sure.
• Mashing the accelerator prior to starting a race is no longer a viable strategy to gain a speed boost. Instead, players can only receive a starting boost by timing their pedal press once “Go” is shown (or in the case of Open Wheel Races, when the countdown lights are removed).

All of this summer’s gameplay and content updates are available in-game today with bonuses, awards and discounts featuring the new content to come across the summer and beyond – until the next major GTA Online update hits later this year: the next chapter in the GTA Online story and an all-new take on Heists.
