F1 2020 Serves Up a Taste of Vietnam with Hanoi Circuit Reveal

Larkspur, Calif. (May 29, 2020) – Codemasters® today announces the second new circuit to be featured in F1^® 2020, the official videogame of the 2020 FIA FORMULA ONE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP^™. Having revealed Circuit Zandvoort earlier in the campaign, the development team heads to Vietnam for Hanoi Circuit. This city location fuses a street circuit’s characteristics with a permanent track layout. The lap, recorded by the F1 2020 development team, features Scuderia Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc. The video can be viewed here.

Hanoi Circuit is 5.613km long, features 23 turns and takes inspiration from iconic F1 circuits such as Suzuka, Monaco and Nürburgring. Designed for action and overtaking, with two incredibly long straights, it promises to be one of the fastest circuits in the F1 calendar. With one of the shortest pit lanes, which removes both the final and first corners, pit-stop strategy could play a pivotal role in staying ahead of the competition.

“We’re always excited to create new experiences for our players. Hanoi Circuit delivers both thrills and challenges, set against the backdrop of the stunning city skyline,” said Codemasters’ F1 franchise Game Director, Lee Mather. “Hanoi Circuit is an adrenaline rush with high speeds, long straights and heavy braking zones, but it will punish anyone who doesn’t respect the walled sections.”

F1 2020 will release on Friday, July 10, 2020 for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Xbox One X, Steam (PC), and Google Stadia (MSRP $59.99). Players who purchase the F1 2020 Michael Schumacher Deluxe Edition (MSRP $69.99) will receive exclusive content and three days early access.

Pre-purchase beta available now exclusively on the Kalypso Store

Ridgewood, NJ – (May 29, 2020) – Publisher Kalypso Media and in-house developer Realmforge Studios have today announced October 23rd 2020 as the official release date for upcoming construction management sim Spacebase Startopia, revealed alongside the launch of the closed beta and a brand-new gameplay trailer. 

Following on from an exclusive reveal earlier this week on Twitch, the Spacebase Startopia beta will be unlocked today for all pre-purchase customers on the Kalypso Store, along with a special pre-purchase discount. The game is available in two versions, a Standard Edition consisting of the base game and beta access, and an Extended Edition which adds in-game items and a digital soundtrack into the mix for the true donut-shaped-space-station aficionado. 

The beta is available English and German and offers an impressive amount of replay value, including three tutorial maps, two singleplayer missions and an early version of skirmish mode with randomized parameters, 15 rooms and three tech tree levels. More content will be added as part of regular updates leading up to the launch of the full game. 

Spacebase Startopia is set to launch on October 23rd 2020 on Windows PC, Mac, Linux, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, with the Nintendo Switch version to follow in 2021.

Spacebase Startopia is a galactic new take on a fan-favourite space base-management game set in…well, space! This vibrant and often absurd universe offers players an exciting blend of city building and base-management, with a flash of RTS skirmishes.
 
By breathing life back into a true classic, developer Realmforge Studios strikes a careful balance between nostalgia and innovation in its reimagining of the popular strategy game, which revolves around a donut-shaped space station filled to the brim with a colorful cast of aliens managed by their tireless commander (that’s you, human). 

In Spacebase Startopia, players will carve out their own little space in the universe, ready to become a galactic utopia – if your management skills are up to the task. With three different game modes and a vast amount of management decisions to be made under the watchful eye of the VAL, the station’s sardonic AI, there’s plenty of in-depth gameplay waiting for new and seasoned players alike. But beware of invading Space Pirates, who will do their best to ruin your carefully laid plans!

Spacebase Startopia offers a constant stream of challenging and addictive objectives to be completed, served up with the distinctive humour and sharp writing that developer Realmforge Studios is known for. Just ask VAL if you don’t believe us! But, uh – ask nicely.  

• Singleplayer campaign with 10 fully voiced single player missions
• Individually configurable sandbox mode
• Competitive and a cooperative multiplayer for up to 4 players
• Build 30+ rooms across three very different decks to offer everything that the visiting aliens could wish for
• Manage a melting pot of different alien races, each with their own individual – and sometimes contradictory – needs and desires
• Produce and trade resources to turn a profit, while running sabotage missions against your competitors

Friday, 29^th May 2020 – Team17 has today announced a partnership with RocketBrush Studio for its dark fantasy action role-playing game, The Unliving, which is currently in development for PC. The debut title for the studio, The Unliving combines roguelite and real-time strategy gameplay for a new (and undead) spin on the RPG genre.

While the Necromancer may control the undead even he cannot escape death; with each reincarnation, players must learn from their mistakes, forge new strategies, and overcome the living, all while trying to unravel the secrets buried deep in forgotten corners of the world of The Unliving.

Aleks Rublev, Founder, RocketBrush Studio, said:
“The Unliving is the first title RocketBrush Studio has developed in its entirety as a team, and we’re thrilled to have Team17 on board to help us realise the vision we have for this ambitious undead title. We can’t wait for players to be able to experience commanding an increasingly powerful army of the dead to crush their enemies on the scale we’ve created in game.”

Max Everingham, Head of Publishing, Team17, said:
“Bringing The Unliving to our ever-expanding and creative stable of games at Team17 underlines our commitment to support great games and help studios realise their ambitions. RocketBrush Studio already has a track record in delivering distinctive in-game art assets for developers, and now it’s their turn to create a game themselves.

Complete missions to help Ben and Zarya reclaim their home and earn exclusive rewards

Singapore – May 29, 2020 – Free Fire is once again taking Survivors deep within its universe, this time set in the present day, for its latest Elite Pass (EP), Fabled Fox. The new EP launches on June 1, 2020, and features powerful gangs and a story of revenge as two gang leaders return to a home they were forced out of. There are also plenty of rewards to earn, such as Kitsune’s Riposte & Revenge skin sets and the Fabled Foxes Motor Bike.

The Fabled Fox EP stars two protagonists: Ben and Zarya. Both grew up in the Salter District but were forced out as adolescents when the Smaki Gang took over. Their new home is controlled by the Vulpes, a far worse situation. Coerced to join the Vulpes and rise through the ranks in order to survive, a decade has passed and Ben and Zarya are now leaders. They decide now is the time to use their ferocity and cleverness to take back the Salter District from the Smaki Gang.

In the Fabled Fox EP, Survivors can earn a number of themed rewards that include:

• Kitsune’s Riposte / Revenge skins: male and female skin sets featured in the Fabled Fox key art.
• Fabled Foxes Rucksack: a new backpack skin that has a special effect when worn.
• The Dashing Fox: a new skateboard skin whose tail is in the shape of the tail of a nine-tailed fox.
• Fabled Foxes Loot Crate: a new loot box skin that resembles the Fabled Foxes’ mask.
• Fabled Foxes Motor Bike: a new moto bike skin that helps players look even more intimidating as they ride down a road.

The Fabled Fox EP was inspired by Inari Okami from Japanese mythology, also known as Ō-Inari, the Japanese god of foxes. This god represents fertility, agriculture and industry, general prosperity, and worldly success. Based on this lore, the Fabled Fox skin set is themed like the animal and combines Japanese-style garments with contemporary streetwear. It’s yet another fusion of differentiating designs that Free Fire is proud to offer to Survivors.

The Fabled Fox EP will be available for Survivors to experience starting on June 1, 2020.

Survivors looking to tap into their inner Okami are encouraged to download Free Fire at the following locations:

• Apple iOS App Store: https://apps.apple.com/US/app/id1300146617?mt=8

APEX LEGENDS SEASON 5 OFF TO THE BEST START OF ANY SEASON TO DATE

The New Season, Fortune’s Favor, Sees the Highest Player Retention and Weekly Hours Played Than Ever Before

Redwood City, Calif. – May 29, 2020 – Respawn Entertainment, a studio of Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ:EA) today announced that Apex Legends Season 5 – Fortune’s Favor has quickly become the best start of any season to date. More new players are coming into the game and along with returning fans, it has driven the highest player retention for a season launch, with players playing for longer periods of time per day than ever before.

As new aspects of the game’s story unfold in Season 5, the community’s connection to the lore and Legends is growing stronger as well. Apex Legends Season 5 trailers earned more than 47M views to date, the most ever for Apex Legends season launch trailers. Fortune’s Favor has also sparked the Apex Legends community to create UGC that has driven more than 176M views in the first two weeks, the most two week UGC views for any season launch to date.

“Bringing more of the Apex Legends story and experience to life for our fans is the thrill of working on this game, and Season 5 is no exception,” said Chad Grenier, Game Director. “This season we wiped out Skull Town, which really allowed us to have some fun and do something unexpected. We’re happy to see that players, both new and returning, are really enjoying it.”

Apex Legends sets itself apart from other battle royale games through its lore and its Legends. Respawn continues to inject fresh storylines and content into each season. From online and in-game teases to the “Stories from the Outlands” trailers and all-new Quests in Season 5, the development team based in Los Angeles and Vancouver, seeks to deliver something truly unique and pushes themselves to try something new as they evolve the game’s narrative.

Winner of the Best Multiplayer Game Awards of 2019 from The Game Awards, BAFTA and more, Apex Legends delivers a squad-based Battle Royale experience where players select from one of 13 Legends – each with their own unique abilities and playstyles – and the last team standing wins. Combatants can choose from unique characters like Loba, a high society thief who uses her new teleportation bracelet to obtain the most secure and unattainable items within her reach, or Pathfinder, a MRVN (Mobile Robotic Versatile eNtity) modified to specialize in location scouting and surveying. Balanced squads and teamwork are critical, as each Legend is easy to pick up and learn but challenging to master.
