CONQUER ANCIENT CHINA AND UNITE THE THREE KINGDOMS IN ROMANCE OF THE THREE KINGDOMS XIV, AVAILABLE TODAY

Lead Your Allies to Victory on PlayStation 4 and PC via Steam

Hertfordshire, 28^th February 2020 – Today,KOEI TECMO Europe and famed developer Kou Shibusawa are proud to launch the latest entry in their renowned strategy franchise Romance of The Three Kingdoms XIV (RTK14) on the PlayStation®4 Computer Entertainment System and digitally on Windows PC via Steam®.

In RTK14, players will experience the pivotal Three Kingdoms period of Ancient China, allowing them to make their mark on history as they set out to conquer China and unify the Three Kingdoms. The tale of the Three Kingdoms era is depicted through seven challenging scenarios, including the chaotic war that signalled the opening of the times (the Yellow Turban Rebellion), the fight for dominance between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao (the Battle of Guandu), and the beginning of Zhuge Liang’s northern campaign (Chu Shi Biao). These events will give gamers the opportunity to enjoy the rich stories from this time period through many event scenes, triggered through fulfilling certain conditions in battle. The latest entry in the series also adopts the popular ruler-based system from fan-favourite entries, RTK9 and RTK11, in order to help return classic gameplay to the series: meaning that all actions take place on a single map as players attempt to spread their strategies at will across the vast land of China.

Throughout the experience, players will have a wide arsenal of strategies to deploy at will, aiding them as they scramble for land and build up their domain. A multitude of different approaches are available in RTK14, covering Domestic, Diplomacy, Territory Development, and a large assortment of different ways to battle, with each playthrough of the game feeling like an all-new experience thanks to an enhanced AI system keeping them on their toes, not to mention, the selection of over 1,000 officers, each with their own traits and characteristics.

Those ready to jump into the action can purchase Romance of The Three Kingdoms XIV from today on PlayStation 4 and PC via Steam! Purchasing any version of the game within the first 2 weeks of launch will offer a free download for the additional scenarios ‘Battle of Yiling’ and ‘The Start of Change’. Those purchasing on PC via Steam within the first week of launch will receive a 10% discount on their purchase!

A demo is also available for players to enjoy until the 12^th March 2020 on PC (via Steam), allowing them to play as either the Cao Cao, Liu Bei, or Sun Jian faction through 36 turns (one year in game time), to get a taste of the action before they purchase the title. Fans who play through the trial won’t be able to transfer save data into the full version, and since the demo was based on an in-development version of the game, the trial might have known bugs or errors that will be different from the final version of the game.

KOEI TECMO Europe also released a fresh set of assets including a Launch Trailer and the final episode of the Developer Diary series, offering fans a deep look into the development of the renowned series, with Producer Echigoya-san.

First Baldur’s Gate 3 Gameplay Screens & Details Revealed Alongside New CGI Intro

Larian Studios to bring the next entry in the Baldur’s Gate series to early access later this year

DUBLIN — Feb. 27, 2020 — Larian Studios has been on the road alongside Wizards of the Coast showing off Baldur’s Gate 3 for the very first time, and now the team is ready to reveal this next-generation turn-based RPG to the world with the release of the game’s CGI intro and first gameplay screenshots.

Forged with the new Divinity 4.0 engine and coming to early access later this year, Baldur’s Gate 3 gives you unprecedented freedom to explore, experiment, and interact with a world that truly reacts to your choices. A grand, cinematic narrative brings you closer to your characters than ever before as you venture through the Forgotten Realms of Dungeons & Dragons in Larian’s biggest adventure yet.

Gather your party for a tale of fellowship and betrayal, sacrifice and survival, and the lure of absolute power. Abducted, infected, lost… You are turning into a monster, drawn from a Mind Flayer parasite planted in your brain, but as the corruption inside you grows, so too does your power. That power may help you to survive, but there will be a price to pay. More than any ability, the bonds of trust that you build within your party could be your greatest strength. Caught in a conflict between devils, deities, and sinister otherworldly forces, you will determine the fate of the Forgotten Realms together. Resist and turn darkness against itself — or embrace corruption and become the ultimate evil.

Choose from a wide selection of D&D races and classes, or play as an origin character with a hand-crafted background. Play alone, selecting your companions carefully, or as a party of up to four in online multiplayer.

No two adventures will ever be the same. The Forgotten Realms are a vast, detailed and diverse world, and there are secrets to be discovered all around you — even verticality is a vital part of exploration. Adventure, loot, battle, romance… how you survive, and the mark you leave on the world, is up to you.

Features

• Online multiplayer for up to four players allows you to combine your forces in combat and split your party to follow your own quests and agendas. Devise the perfect plan together… or introduce an element of chaos when your friends least expect it.
• Origin characters offer a hand-crafted experience, each with their own unique traits, agenda, and outlook on the world. Their stories intersect with the wider narrative, and your choices will determine whether those stories end in redemption, salvation, domination or other outcomes.
• Evolved turn-based combat based on the D&D 5E ruleset. Team-based initiative, advantage and disadvantage, and roll modifiers join combat cameras, expanded environmental interactions, and a new fluidity in combat that rewards strategy and foresight.
• Define the future of the Forgotten Realms through your choices and the roll of the dice. No matter who you play or what you roll, the world and its inhabitants will react to your story.
• Player-initiated turn-based mode allows you to pause the world around you at any time even outside of combat. See an opportunity for a tactical advantage before combat begins? Want to pull off a heist with pin-point precision? Need to escape a fiendish trap? Split your party, prepare ambushes, sneak in the darkness — and create your own luck!

Borderlands 3‘s Second Campaign Add-On and Steam Release Date Announced at PAX East

Borderlands 3 releases on Steam on March 13 with PC crossplay.

Second campaign expansion – Guns, Love, and Tentacles: The Marriage of Wainwright & Hammerlock – launches March 26 across all platforms

Who needs March Madness when Borderlands 3 is bringing you March Mayhem? During the Gearbox Main Theater Show at PAX East earlier today, Gearbox and 2K shared some big announcements regarding content coming to Borderlands 3 next month and beyond.

First, on March 13, Borderlands 3 will launch on Steam, with PC crossplay between Steam and the Epic Games Launcher. Thanks to some new SHiFT matchmaking functionality, you’ll be able to add friends to your Friends List, join co-op parties, and play together online regardless of which PC platform each player is using. Gearbox plans to roll out additional PC crossplay features – such as the ability to mail weapons across platforms – in the weeks following the game’s launch on Steam. Aspiring Vault Hunters can add Borderlands 3 to their Steam Wishlist now.

Then on March 26, you can dive into Borderlands 3‘s second campaign add-on for a surprisingly dangerous engagement party in Guns, Love, and Tentacles: The Marriage of Wainwright & Hammerlock.Sir Alistair Hammerlock and Wainwright Jakobs are finally tying the knot, and they want you to come celebrate their upcoming nuptials on the ice planet of Xylourgos. Its frozen wastes have thinned out all but the most vicious wildlife, and the eerie town of Cursehaven – where you’ve all agreed to meet – is located beneath the colossal carcass of a fallen Vault Monster.

As if this ice world’s biting cold and vicious wildlife weren’t unwelcoming enough, a band of creepy occultists who worship the Vault Monster’s carcass are hellbent on breaking up the betrothed partners. You’ll have to fight back the forces of otherworldly evil if Wainwright and Hammerlock are to have their happily ever after. Luckily, the most badass wedding planner in the galaxy has your back: Gaige, a fugitive Vault Hunter (and returning fan-favorite character) who’s inseparable from her robot BFF Deathtrap. And that’s not all:

• Reunite with old friends and team up with some eerie new characters to help true love triumph over eldritch horror;
• Confront bloodthirsty enemies and formidable bosses, including alien beasts, hideously mutated occultists, and a clan of cold-blooded bandits;
• Delve into the disturbing and occasionally daft backstories of cursed townfolk in a host of spine-tingling side missions;
• Arm your Vault Hunter with some of the deadliest gear in the galaxy, including a trove of additional Legendaries and some supremely powerful Class Mods; and,
• Flaunt your sense of style with a slew of new cosmetic items, from Vault Hunter Heads & Skins to interactive Room Decorations and all-new Vehicle Skins.

Guns, Love, and Tentacles will put the love back in Lovecraft starting March 26 and is included with the Borderlands 3 Season Pass and Super Deluxe Edition, just like Moxxi’s Heist of The Handsome Jackpot. For a closer look a Borderlands 3’s second expansion, click here.

In addition to announcing the game’s second expansion, Gearbox and 2K also shared a sneak peek of Borderlands 3’s third campaign add-on, which will arrive this Summer. To see the concept art shared during today’s panel, just click right here. In case that’s not enough of a hint, we’ve got two words for you: outlaws and dinosaurs (OK, three words if you count “and”). We’re excited to tell you more about Borderlands 3‘s third and fourth campaign add-ons at a later date.

Gearbox and 2K also unveiled a content roadmap outlining the events and updates coming to Borderlands 3 this spring, all of which will be free to all players. First up in April are Mayhem Mode 2.0 and the Revenge of the Cartels seasonal event. Mayhem Mode 2.0 will overhaul Borderlands 3’s end-game by reinventing the ways in which Mayhem modifiers work. Revenge of the Cartels will see you tracking down and taking out cartel operatives to earn event-specific rewards.

Then in May, the second Takedown arrives! Much like Takedown at the Maliwan Blacksite – which released last November – the Guardian Takedown will offer some of the most challenging content in the game. This intense standalone mission will be themed after the mysterious Eridians and will feature not only new bosses but new gear and cosmetics as well. The difficulty will scale to the size of the player party by default. However, if you want to experience the Takedown in its true form, you can select “True Takedown Mode,” which tunes the difficulty for a party of four fully leveled-up Vault Hunters regardless of party size.

We’ll have more to share about each of these content drops as they draw nearer, so stay tuned. And remember, there’s plenty of mayhem in store for the latter half of 2020. For now, be sure to catch up on the full PAX East panel on our Twitch channel to see Gearbox Software Studio Head Randy Pitchford chat with famed director Eli Roth about Eli’s involvement in the upcoming Borderlands movie, which is currently in development with Lionsgate and Arad Productions.
