Pilot a heavily-weaponized Gravcycle as you fight to save the remnants of humanity in this new sci-fi, first-person shooter
Watch the new story trailer and pre-order today
New York, NY – May 7, 2020 – Private Division and V1 Interactive today announced that Disintegration, the debut title from the 30-person independent studio founded by Marcus Lehto, the co-creator of Halo, will release digitally for £39.99 on PC, PlayStation®4, PlayStation®4 Pro and across the Xbox One family of devices, including Xbox One X on June 16, 2020.

Pre-orders for Disintegration are available now for Xbox One and PC via Steam.
Disintegrationis a sci-fi, first-person shooter that blends real-time tactical elements to create an entirely new experience. Set in a world ripped apart by famine, scarce resources, and the planet on the brink of destruction, humanity has developed a process to survive its harsh reality known as Integration, in which a human brain is transferred to a robotic armature. From the ensuing chaos, an aggressive, militaristic legion, known as the Rayonne, gain control and begins to impose the once optional process of Integration onto the rest of humanity to consolidate their power.
Players command Romer Shoal, an incredibly-skilled Gravcycle pilot, who leads a small band of outlaws to fight back against an overwhelming Rayonne force. Over the course of a thrilling single-player campaign, players will control a Gravcycle loaded with weaponry, leading Romer and his team across a series of diverse missions packed with action, explosions, and plot twists, to beat back the Rayonne forces and give the last vestiges of humanity hope to prevail.
To learn more about the single-player campaign, watch the new Disintegration Story Trailer on YouTube now.

I’m so excited that players get to be a part of it soon.”
In addition to the full single-player campaign, Disintegration features frenetic PVP multiplayer where pilots and their crews compete in three game modes and six distinct maps. Players can select from nine highly-stylized “Crews” which lend themselves to different playstyles.
“The gameplay mechanics and exciting lore from the campaign are cranked up a few notches in Disintegration’s competitive multiplayer, and it’s an absolute blast,” said Kari Toyama, Lead Producer at Private Division. “The team at V1 Interactive are putting a ton of fun and personality into the multiplayer through the different Crews, each of which have their own look and approach to combat.”
Multiplayer provides a host of cosmetic customizations that can be purchased or earned in-game, including pilot and crew skins, cosmetic Gravcycle customizations, and a variety of banners. In addition to the multiplayer content at release, the team at V1 will be supporting the game post-launch with seasonal content drops.

Registration for Beta 2 is now open at https://user.frontierstore.net/fleet-carrier-beta-key, and all Elite Dangerous players are welcome.
Fleet Carriers Beta 2 will incorporate significant changes from the initial Beta held in April, with the majority of adjustments focused around the decommissioning, performance and utility of Fleet Carriers, these changes are the direct result of feedback obtained from the dedicated Elite Dangerous community during Beta 1.

Fleet Carrier owners will have access to shipyard and outfitting for stored items on their carrier, without enabling the full service.
Reduced the amount of Tritium, the special fuel that powers up the Fleet Carriers’ jump drive, consumed with each jump by around half.
Decommissioning a carrier will now refund the full cost of a carrier, minus a static fee for voluntary decommissioning.
From 22 May, Beta 2 will enter a “beta blowout” period and Fleet Carriers will be purchasable for the token price of 1 million credits (a reduction of more than 99%), to simulate the mass adoption of fleet carriers and to also ensure they are accessible to the majority of players who join the Beta. This will remain in place until the close of the Beta on 26 May.
Further details on how to sign up for Fleet Carriers Beta 2 can be found here. Join the Beta and help shape the future of the Fleet Carriers in Elite Dangerous before their official launch into the live game on June 2020. Beta 2 is available for PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 players.

Similarly, players can test their driving skills in the new race track with thenew vehicle Golden Mirado, which only one will spawn on the map.

Other minor bugs and tutorial guides have also been improved for Royale Pass Season 13.

May 6, 2020 – Stockton, CA – Halcyon Winds, LLC has announced its first game, Cepheus Protocol, a Tactical, Open-World, Real-Time Strategy for Windows desktop PCs, to be released May 15, 2020, for Steam Early Access.
Treasure Island, San Francisco, has been infected with a mysterious alien outbreak called the Pangu Virus. Tens of thousands of people are being infected by Patient Zero, who controls the pandemic. Each day the virus evolves, turning the inhabitants into crazed monsters with one desire – spread the Pangu Virus beyond containment to consume all organic life. The Center for Disease and Epidemic Control is all that stands between Patient Zero and all-out chaos as they deploy to Treasure Island and set up a base, fighting street-by-street as they hunt down Patient Zero before it is too late!
In Cepheus Protocol, players will build specialized bases, recruit new units to assign to their defense and offensive squads. They’ll collect viral samples, research upgrades, and new weapons, while exploring Treasure Island in an open world filled with horrific scenes and horrified citizens desperate to survive. Featuring a day and night cycle with changing weather, players discover a multitude of different environments across two connected islands located in the San Francisco Bay.
For Cepheus Protocol’s Early Access Release, we will be launching with our first standalone feature, Pandemic Mode. Players race against time to hunt down and stop Patient Zero before all the inhabitants on Treasure Island are infected by the Pangu Virus and changed into mutated, bloodthirsty monsters. Players will have to retake each zone before it turns hot, all the while protecting their base from frequent attacks, save citizens in random encounters, and track down Patient Zero before she gains total control. With challenging gameplay and a strong focus on tactics, Cepheus Protocol updates the RTS genre in meaningful ways not seen in years.
