MILESTONE REVEALS MotoGP™20 MANAGERIAL CAREER FEATURES 

In MotoGP™20 players will discover the importance of teams – nobody wins alone!

Beyond. Together.

Sydney, Australia, April 3^rd, 2020. Milestone has released a new MotoGP™20 trailer, unveiling the main features of its brand-new Managerial Career. The new Career Mode will put players into a pro riders’ boots, with an engaging and progressive gaming experience both on and off the track. Just like in the real MotoGP™ simply being fast on the circuit is not enough; players will need to take the best decisions to find a winning strategy to master the Championship.

Echoing real life, one of the key figures at the top of the team is the personal manager, whose work can truly make a difference when it comes to sponsorship and contract opportunities. Players will need to evaluate all the offers they receive, both from real-life teams and new teams created by the player, looking carefully at their engagement and expectations before taking a decision. If players select a new team, they will be able to make their rider and bike stand out using different graphic editors to modify the helmet, racing number, lower-back patch, stickers and bike livery.  The personal manager’s skills come into play when tasked to try and craft a stronger team, or negotiate a better salary, following the player’s indications.

When it comes to being fast on track, it is the players’ choice of technical staff that influences the performance of the bike; the most skilled technicians will be able to develop bikes better and faster, but of course they will be much more expensive than others. How do you find the right balance between budget and performance? It’s up to players! On-track tests during the weekend will provide valuable data for development, but the synergy between the engineers will determine how much of this knowledge can be actually used to craft new parts. Each engineer will have different skills in different areas so teamwork will be key.

Taking part in the winter and mid-season tests enables players to develop their bike, choosing up to 3 different packs with various engines and frame combinations to find the perfect settings for the season. Once the season starts, players can also improve performances of different bike parts, earning and spending development points and allocating their R&D staff to reach the highest level. Aerodynamics, electronics, engine power and fuel consumption are just an example of the many technical parts that players can now manage to improve their bikes.

For the first time, Milestone also announces brand-new features that will support the game after launch, that will further expand contents of the Managerial Career gameplay; more details about the post launch features will be revealed soon, stay tuned!

MotoGP™20 will be released on April 23^rd on PlayStation®4, Xbox One, Windows PC®/STEAM, Google Stadia and Nintendo Switch™*.

TOKYO – 31 March 2020 – SOUNDART, a surreal VR rhythm game using music libraries to generate levels, sets the stage for anyone to shine as the star of the show when developer MercuryStudio and publisher PLAYISM drop the beat on HTC Vive and Oculus Rift via Steam on Thursday, 2 April, 2020. Oculus Quest owners will be able to join the party using Oculus Link.

Let viewers light up the screen with comments appearing in bursts of stars to make for a sensational show.

“Freedom of expression is at the heart of SOUNDART,” said the founder of MercuryStudio, who goes by the pseudonym Ray. “There are many great VR rhythm games out there, but none of them have all the features I wanted and so I decided to take my own spin at the turntable. The result is SOUNDART, which gives you all the tools needed to become the art yourself and share that joy with others.”

SOUNDART will be available on Steam starting April 2 in English, Japanese, and Chinese (simplified and traditional) for $19.99 USD and €16.79 EUR. An Oculus Store version will launch at a later date.
