WOE BETIDE ANY RANGER TAKING ON THE BEHEMOTH TIDE

‘Withstand the Behemoth Tide’ is an all-new game mode in Rangers of Oblivion, spanning Silver Keep and Avalon

YOOZOO Games, Shanghai — 23.07.2020 | Hear ye, hear ye! Powerful primes capable of destroying Malheim are emerging in Rangers of Oblivion. The Rangers of Avalon and Silver Keep heard tell of this distressing news and are devising a battle plan, hoping to ‘Withstand the Behemoth Tide’,  if you’re a Ranger (Level 50 or above) — they need your help! 

Within the game mode, the Rangers work closely to break free of the behemoth’s siege. Nevertheless, as they strike down threat upon threat, multitudinous forms of monstrous danger await them …

‘Withstand the Behemoth Tide’ is divided into four stages: Outpost Skirmish, Expedition Assault, Blaze of the Tide, and Postwar Respite. During each stage, server objectives are available, in which all Rangers must work together as one. Players’ progress in these objectives will directly affect the Behemoth Tide’s progress and the difficulty level of following stages. Ranger Headquarters issue rewards at certain stages; if players meet certain objectives within the time limit, they’ll receive huge awards.

In ‘Withstand the Behemoth Tide’, the powerful primes also possess the power to change the weather. Rangers will be forced to battle under terrible conditions. As the Rangers draw closer to the primes, the conditions will worsen. During each stage, Rangers will be able to acquire ‘Spirit’ during hunts, which can be used to unlock and upgrade new Behemoth Tide skills, and these will grant certain stat bonuses. The Spirits gained depend on the prime of the current season. Once a season ends and a prime is gone, unused Spirits become ineffectual. Furthermore, skills unlocked and upgraded which have been used with these Spirits will decrease in power as time passes.

STAGE I: OUTPOST SKIRMISH (JULY 9TH – JULY 22ND)

Reconnoissance took place in the Expedition event, to gather information on the three vanguard behemoths required in the next stage.

STAGE II: EXPEDITION ASSAULT (JULY 23RD – AUG. 5TH)

Three vanguard behemoths to tackle, their strength differs according to the information gathered in the previous stage. The bad weather caused by the primes hinders the hunt.

STAGE III: BLAZE OF THE TIDE (AUG. 6TH – AUG. 12TH)

In this stage, players need to team up to hunt another three behemoths, consecutively. The last behemoth is a prime itself, and summons another minion behemoth in battle. Players face far more severe weather as the hunt progresses.

STAGE IV: POSTWAR RESPITE (AUG. 13TH – AUG. 19TH)

Players’ aim is to mop up the remaining force of the tide. The Malheim Challenge and Speed Hunt event are available during this stage.

In somewhat less daunting news, divination has thrown on another ensemble for you to rock while saving Malheim; find it fast and become a lone Ranger.

CYBORG OUTLAW

“The wild west was never tamed, not really.” Ever fancy becoming a cowboy yourself? Now is your chance, try out this new costume and you’ll become the first cowboy in Malheim. The costume is available in divination from July 9 to Aug 6.

“Lunch A Palooza” Unleashes Food Pandemonium on Xbox One Today

Join delicious food battles on a diner table!

Querétaro, Mexico — July 22nd, 2020 — Indie developer Seashell Studio today announced that its fast-paced cuisine-themed multiplayer game, Lunch A Palooza, is available on Xbox One for $19.99/€19.99/£16.74. Lunch A Palooza serves hours of fun brawling action among culinary treats as players battle it out to become the last food standing.

“Dinner is served! Lunch A Palooza is finally here on Xbox One bringing the most chaotic food fights you’ve ever seen,” said Rodrigo Cuadriello from Seashell Studio. “Crazy power-ups, sneaky traps and even environmental hazards create hilarious situations you don’t want to miss!”

In Lunch A Palooza players enter frenetic food fights as one of eight dishes, pushing other delicacies off the table in single-player or local multiplayer for up to four people. Pepper your character with power-ups to spice up your unique attacks. When dishing out the pain anything goes, from serving side dishes to sweep up the competition, to setting up push traps to clear the table for the next sitting. Remember, the dinner table arena is a hazardous place for food with flying forks and knives always trying to nab a piece of you. 

Lunch A Palooza offers a full menu of game modes sure to meet everyone’s tastes. The “Main Course” is a free-for-all with each player having five lives while battling to be the last edible standing. The “Royal Buffet” is an all you can eat version of the “Main Course” where you have unlimited lives but a set time to clear the competition away, with the player with the least falls winning. If you want something simpler, the “Side Dish” offers team battles and last but not least is the chef’s special, “King of the Cloche”, where players battle it out for cloche domination.

Featuring courses of four game modes, a colorful cast of whimsical characters and simple controls, Lunch a Palooza offers a thrilling food party where everyone is invited.

In 2019, Lunch A Palooza was the finalist of the Indie Prize Showcase for GameDaily Connect USA and Asia as well as made the Pixelatl Showroom Section in Cuernavaca, Mexico.

The drives are part of a full line of encrypted solutions to suit customer needs of all levels.

Consumers and organizations have become more aware of data privacy and protection needs due to regulations such as GDPR and CCPA. Additional data security options have become a necessity as work-from-home increases. The simple inclusion of encrypted USB flash drives into a daily workflow is a simple step to ensuring data is safe.

DataTraveler Locker+ G3 is easy to setup and easy to use, with no application installation required; all the software and security needed is built in. The drive works on both Windows and Mac operating systems so users can access files from multiple devices, without installing a program on every computer used.

“Portable data security is becoming more and more important with the increase in people working from home. Kingston is glad to continue expanding our line of encrypted USB solutions to help users take control of their security needs,” said Kingston. “Within our full line of encrypted drives, we offer high levels of encryption, fast USB 3.0 performance and after 10 intrusion attempts, the drives lock down so users can rest assured their data is safe.”

These powerful tools simplify drive integration and operation and management, even in remote locations.

DTLPG3 is available in capacities 8GB to 128GB2. While DTVP 3.0 and DT4000G2DM are available in capacities 4GB to 128GB2. All are backed by a five-year warranty with free technical support. For more information visit kingston.com.

To give players a helping hand, there’s nine different categories of games to choose from, all of which are represented by their own Emoji. After designating your platform (PC or Console), simply start your Tweet with one of the following Emojis to ensure you receive the recommendation your heart desires: Action: 💥, Classic: 🏺, Platformer: 🧗‍♂️, Puzzle: 🧩, RPG: 👑, Shooter: 🎯, Simulator: 🚗, Sport: 🏉 or Strategy: ♟.

Dan Johnson, Xbox Lead for ANZ said: “Xbox Game Pass is changing the way we play and discover games together. We’ve seen that globally members play 40% more games after joining and more than 90% of members have played a game they wouldn’t have tried if it wasn’t for their Game Pass membership.”

“We hope our brand-new Twitter Emoji service inspires players to get creative with their favourite Emojis and take full advantage of the breadth of genres available on Xbox Game Pass.”

The Xbox Game Pass library includes some of the biggest blockbuster franchises like Halo, Forza, Gears of War, Minecraft, NBA 2K, and The Witcher. Xbox Game Pass members also get access to Xbox Game Studios titles the same day as their global release. It also includes dozens of high-quality games from independent developers, and 30% of its most popular games are family friendly titles like “Kingdom Hearts III,” “Ori and the Will of the Wisps,” and “Sea of Thieves.”

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate includes all the benefits of Xbox Live Gold, including online multiplayer, and unlimited access to over 100 high-quality console and PC games. New members can get their first month for just $1, then $15.95 each month.
