World War Z Free on the Epic Game Store until April 2

Saber Interactive and Focus Home Interactive are helping gamers around the world self isolate by making World War Z free on the Epic Game Store until April 2nd. While Xbox One owners won’t be able to snag the game for free, it’s been marked down by 75% through the Deals with Gold program until March 30th.

The deal coincides with a major update for World War Z. New cosmetics, weapon variants, and gameplay balances have been implemented. The update’s highlight is the new crossplay feature enabling PC and Xbox One players to play PVE missions and Horde Mode Z together. Unfortunately PlayStation 4 players are getting left out on both the deal and the crossplay update; however, plans for enabling PlayStation 4 and PC crossplay is in the works.

Bright Memory: Infinite Debuts Gameplay Trailer, Launches Q4 2020 on PC, PS4, Xbox One

TOKYO – 25 March 2020 – Bright Memory, a high-octane, visually stunning FPS made by a solo developer at FYQD Studio and published by PLAYISM, leaves Early Access on Steam and GOG with a 1.0 patch bringing new content today at 11:00 a.m. PT.

The 1.0 update for Bright Memory introduces an “Office Lady” skin, bringing the total number of looks for Shelia up to four, and adds five new subtitled languages: Latin American Spanish, German, French, Russian, and Brazilian Portuguese. In tandem with this 1.0 update for Bright Memory, a three-minute gameplay video for the full-length title Bright Memory: Infinite debuts and features previously unseen environments, enemies, and weather effects.

Takedown ancient mythical beasts and futuristic enemy soldiers alike in a stylish combo-focused sword and gunplay combat system. A precise dash and a pulse glove knocking enemies into the air enable extended combo chains to finish off threats with finesse and precision while racking up massive scores.

After the discovery of a strange substance capable of reviving the dead, a private military organization seeks to steal the life-giving breakthrough for its own maniacal ends. While defending the substance, Special Operative Shelia is warped along with the enemy squad to an island floating over the north pole where mythological creatures such as dragons and demons roam alongside resurrected human corpses. 

“The input of players who have supported Bright Memory in early access has been invaluable in finding the right balance of myth and sci-fi as well as gameplay mechanics,” said Xiancheng Zeng, sole developer, FYQD Studio. “This update may be the last for this version of Bright Memory, but that just means I can pour all my efforts into the development of Bright Memory: Infinite to maximize the impact of its fast-paced combat and gorgeous ray-tracing.”

Hey Vault Hunters! The wedding of the year/decade/eon is nearly here, so we put together a special episode of The Borderlands Show to celebrate. In case you missed it, this episode featured an exclusive Let’s Play of Borderlands 3’s next campaign add-on – Guns, Love, and Tentacles: The Marriage of Wainwright & Hammerlock – as well as new details about the game’s next level cap increase, a new ECHOcast Extension event, the forthcoming Mayhem Mode 2.0 update, and more!

With Guns, Love, and Tentacles due out this Thursday, March 26, Gearbox gave hosts Greg Miller and Fran Mirabella extended hands-on time with the campaign add-on’s opening hour. The resulting Let’s Play shows off new narrative details, enemy types, unique loot, and more. You can see all the fresh footage right here. If you want to check out the add-on for yourself and don’t already own the Super Deluxe Edition, be sure to pick up the Borderlands 3 Season Pass or buy the expansion a la carte when it launches.

This Thursday also brings two free content updates for all players: the next Borderlands 3 level cap increase and a new ECHOcast Twitch Extension event. Starting Thursday, the new maximum Vault Hunter level will be 57, up from 53. This will allow players to earn four additional skill points and equip two capstone abilities at once – a major bump in power for high-level players!

For streaming fans, the new Moxxtail ECHOcast Twitch extension event will provide viewers a new way to both engage with and support their favorite streamers.

For Revenge of the Cartels, Nicholson shared the very first details: Maurice returns to task players with taking out cartel operatives throughout the Borderlands. Meet Maurice’s quota and he’ll send you to the Mansion – a brand new location where an intense boss battle awaits. With three different factions to fight, though, the combat you encounter in this area will change with each playthrough. The event will last six weeks but can be toggled off and on for the duration of the event, per fan feedback.
