In addition to fresh housing areas, roads and resources, an Oasis and Urban ruins have been added for additional landing spot strategy. 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. Players can also quickly collect Energy Drinks and Painkillers at added Vending Machines. A quick preview on the Mad Miramar can be witnessed via the official video here.

Besides the most noticeable changes as above, the new updates of Miramar also include:

  • Win94 –Comes with its own built-in 2.7x Scope and only spawns in Miramar
  • Lingering Sandstorm Effects – There will be a chance that areas both in Miramar and the Main Menu will be hit with random sandstorms
  • New Achievements – A fresh wave of challenges have been added for players to test their skills on the updated map

The new Royale Pass includes a Level 100 Ultra Defender and Puppet Agent outfit, which offers three forms to mix and match. Other minor bugs and tutorial guides have also been improved for Royale Pass Season 13.

Guncraft Finishes (coming soon)

Players can now customize the color, patterns and emblems of their weapons after obtaining them. With the new Emblem editor, players can overlap basic images and shapes to create completely custom Emblems. Guncraft materials can be obtained from the wheel, and some materials can be purchased directly. Graffiti can also be exchanged for Guncraft stickers and applied to weapons as a finish.

Cheer Park

In this new social area, up to 20 players can interact in real time, with multiple features from the basic Training Grounds. In the Cheer Park, players can view information from other players, interact with Emotes, add friends and even roast chicken dinners together. Players can also hone their skills by teaming up for various game modes, visit the Shooting Range, or play the new Duel and Hunt Game modes.

New Results Screen UI

In the Classic Mode game type, the Results screen has been upgraded with a new “Detailed Results” screen. Players can now inspect their match statistics and compare them with stats from friends in the same tier to further analyze gameplay. There are also now five grading criteria in the Results screen to change the rating system and rating display.

CEPHEUS PROTOCOL

Sacrifice everything to save Treasure Island from an Alien Epidemic

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.

Successfully funded on Kickstarter and Campfire, a Japanese popular crowdfunding platform, LWAVR raised over $165,000 in total between the two campaigns in July 2019. It was originally scheduled for release in June 2020, but adopting protective measures against COVID-19 has resulted in a change in plans.

LWAVR will be available on Oculus Quest in late 2020 while PSVR, Oculus Rift, and SteamVR versions will follow in early 2021. It will feature voice acting in English and Japanese from the talents who star in the anime.
