Tuesday, July 28, 2020 — InnoGames, Germany’s leading developer and publisher of online and mobile games, today announces the start of the summer festival in the successful strategy game Forge of Empires. Beginning July 28, 2020, players return to Forge Island where they can complete tasks and spin the wheel to claim exciting prizes. The event runs until August 17, 2020.

After boarding the ship and arriving on Forge Island, the local governor will greet players with swashbuckling stories from the past year and offer them a chance to spin the mysterious “Wheel of Fortune.” To spin the wheel, players will need Doubloons, which the governor and the local pirate Jane are happy to provide in exchange for completing tasks. Each spin of the wheel will also give players a compass which will help guide them across the map on a fantastic voyage. Make it to the other side and X marks the spot where the grand prize can be found.

Prizes consist of new summer items as well as some old event items, giving players who didn’t participate in previous events the chance to compete with their neighbors to claim these items. The Crow’s Nest building and upgrade kits from last year’s event are rare rewards on the wheel. New this year is the grand prize of the Governor’s Villa, an upgradable building that provides coins, population and happiness as well as an attack boost for the players’ army. When motivated, it will also generate goods of the current age and additional units every day.

Players can share their progress to their friends and neighbors by winning one of four themed portraits.

Forge of Empires is free to play and available for browser and mobile for Android and iOS devices.

Choice of two editions are now available to pre-order on Steam; deluxe version to include three-day beta access before launch, digital artbook, and a quest to unlock a flotsam of cosmetics for stranded survivalists and monkeys to wear.

Tuesday, 28^th July 2020 – Team17 is today announcing that Steam pre-orders are now open for the upcoming solo and co-operative survival and crafting game, The Survivalists, which is scheduled to launch later this year on PC and consoles. Two editions, a standard and deluxe version, are available to pre-order on Steam, with both editions giving players access to the Monkey Business downloadable content.  

Once completed, the Monkey Business DLC provides players with additional accessories for their stranded humans (the exclusive Straw Hat, The Escapists Guard Hat, and Unicorn Hat) and six additional hats for their monkeys (Top Hat, Lumberjack Hat, Chef Hat, Crown, Hard Hat, and Pirate Hat). The deluxe edition also contains the official soundtrack to the game, a digital artbook, and three days of beta access ahead of the official launch. Those who pre-order the deluxe edition of The Survivalists will receive a 10 percent discount on the full launch price

The Survivalists takes place in The Escapists universe and sees up to four players stranded on a procedurally generated island, where they’re tasked with rescuing, befriending, and training their island’s monkey population while exploring, crafting, and overcoming marauding orc groups in order to survive.
 
Key Features:

• Play together and survive: Up to four players can join forces to explore the world of The Survivalists, helping each other out to stay alive
• Get crafty and be inventive: Various items great and small can be crafted, from weapons to tools and buildings to keep your crew sheltered
• Automate with monkeys: Enlist the help of monkeys for a number of tasks, including protecting your group and gathering resources
• Curiosity is rewarded: Players are encouraged to explore their surroundings, where they’ll encounter dangerous wildlife, mythical enemies, and tantalising secrets.

Emma Bates, Producer, Team17 said:
“We’re excited for The Survivalists to launch later this year, and we wanted to give players a little something extra for preordering their copy ahead of time with the Monkey Business DLC. The game breaks new ground for The Escapists universe, with no island ever the same. The pre-order bonus of bonus hats means those eager to get stranded in the world of The Survivalists will have even more individuality with their characters – and who wouldn’t want to see a monkey in a pirate hat?”

New soundtrack exclusively debuts tracks from NBA 2K21 cover athlete Damian Lillard, will be one of the largest collections of music ever assembled for a sports video game

Sydney – July 28, 2020 – 2K has announced that NBA® 2K21,the next iteration of the top-rated and top-selling NBA video game simulation series of the past 19 years*, is unveiling its brand-new in-game soundtrack. Featuring two new unreleased tracks from NBA 2K21 cover athlete Damian ‘Dame D.O.L.L.A.’ Lillard, and songs from today’s top artists such as Stormzy, Roddy Ricch and The Strokes, the soundtrack was meticulously selected by 2K to deliver an immense number of curated beats for a visceral in-game experience and will be one of the largest and most definitive collections of music ever assembled for a sports video game.

“To be on the cover alone is a big deal to me, but to be on the cover and also have my music be a part of the game is a huge accomplishment as well,” said Damian Lillard, NBA superstar and cover athlete for NBA 2K21 on current-gen platforms. “Personally, I’ve been introduced to new artists, songs and genres that I might hear on the radio, but I heard it first on NBA 2K.” 

The current-gen version of NBA 2K21 will launch with 52 songs on September 4, including two Dame D.O.L.L.A. tracks exclusively debuting in the game; fans can experience the soundtrack beginning today on Spotify. The next-gen version of NBA 2K21 will add additional songs and will feature 202 tracks at launch. After launch, the next-gen soundtrack will then be updated with new songs spanning across hip-hop, R&B, electronic, pop and rock.

“Music has always been an integral part of NBA 2K, and each year we strive to expand our approach to the players’ in-game experience,” said Alfie Brody, Vice President of Global Marketing for NBA 2K. “This year we’re able to bring the soundtrack to completely new heights with a highly-curated track list powered by next-gen technology and a cover athlete in Damian Lillard who’s adding unreleased tracks; together embodying the NBA 2K21 theme – Everything is Game.”

The artists list for this year’s soundtrack was released in a graphic, with more artists and tracks to be dynamically added to the next-gen version of NBA 2K21 over the year to curate what will be one of the largest soundtracks ever in a sports video game.
