Rebellion has unleashed Zombie Army 4: Dead War upon the world. Set in 1946, the game follows a group of crack soldiers fighting their way through southern Europe. While zombie Hitler may be dead, his legions of zombie Nazis still terrorize the allied forces. One to four players will now band together to put an end to Hitler’s Plan Z once and for all.
Zombie Army 4: Dead War offers a full campaign plus a Horde Mode to challenge the best of players. While a full slate of premium post-launch DLC has been announced, Rebellion has promised to support Horde Mode with free maps after launch.
Zombie Army 4: Dead War comes in three editions: normal, Deluxe Edition, and Super Deluxe Edition. The Deluxe Edition adds an undead airman character, a solid gold weapon pack, and the undercover Karl outfit. Super Deluxe Edition has everything in the Deluxe Edition and the previously announced post-launch content.
Zombie Army 4: Dead War is out now for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Windows PC.
Bethesda has announced that they have set another release date for Fallout 76‘s big “Wastelanders” expansion and that it will be releasing on all available platforms for the game on April 7th with the PC version of the game launching on Steam on the same day, since it was previously only available through the Bethesda launcher. It is worth noting that players who purchased the game on Bethesda’s launcher will not be able to transfer any of their Atoms or “Fallout 1st” memberships though items that have been purchased on the Atomic Shop will be shared across both PC versions.
The Fallout 76“Wastelanders” expansion expands upon the story of the game by unlocking an entirely new main quest that brings together many new faces as NPCs have returned to the Appalachia mountains and player decisions can affect the fates of these new factions. A new trailer for the expansion can be found below.
Another week and another new batch of screenshots for Azur Lane: Crosswave from Idea Factory International and this time around the company is focusing almost entirely on support ships with Downes, Hamakaze, Ning Hai, Norfolk, Shiranui, and Souryuu given a bit of spotlight alongside some screenshots that highlight the game’s story and photo modes.
This batch of screenshots can be found below while the game itself is set to be released on February 13th in North America and February 21st in Europe for the PlayStation 4 and PC. It is also worth noting that for one month after the game’s release Neptune will be available as free DLC on both platforms but after this date she will no longer be available.
NIS America has announced that they will be attending the PAX East 2020 event that will be held at the Boston Convention Center later this month from February 27th to March 1st and the line-up of games they are bringing to show off leaves us with a hint of an announcement on the way. The company has stated that they will be bringing previously announced games such as the Switch port of The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III, Disaster Report 4: Summer Memories, Langrisser I & II, and La-Mulana 1 & 2.
Alongside these games the company is emphasizing a “Secret New Game” that will be shown off at the event so fans can expect to either see a brand new announcement in the coming weeks or a full reveal at PAX East at the end of this month. For those attending the event, the company will also be offering a number of giveaways at their booth.
In what is becoming a trend this year, another Wii U exclusive is now seeing another chance at life on the Nintendo Switch but this time around it also happens to be coming to a number of other platforms as Platinum Games has launched a Kickstarter campaign for The Wonderful 101: Remastered. With an extremely modest goal of slightly under $50,000 the project was funded in under an hour of release and, at the time of writing, has reached $1.25 million allowing the game to easily burst through the stretch goals that allow it to be released on the PlayStation 4 and PC.
With the Kickstarter set to run until March 6th and the game actually releasing on these platforms sometime in April 2020, it is likely this funding is being used as both an interest gauge and a method to secure future funding as a game releasing one month after being funded through Kickstarter is nearly unheard of.

World of Tanks ANZ smashes goal raising over $90,000
for the Australian bushfires
4th February 2020 – World of Tanks ANZ has
exceeded their fundraising efforts, raising over $90,000 for those affected by
the Australian bush fires.
With an initial goal of raising $10,000 for BlazeAid, the
combined efforts of the World of Tanks APAC team and most importantly players
and the community from the region, saw the goal achieved in the first three
hours of the eight-hour livestream.
More than $90,000 was raised following a series of
fundraising activities including an eight-hour livestream by World of Tanks
ANZ’s Jake (JayRated) and Dillon (Vondle), a silent auction, donations, premium
shop donations and Wargaming APAC contributions. This included Wargaming APAC
matching dollar for dollar, from all the funds raised via the livestream and
silent auction.
Jake Truman, World of Tanks ANZ Community Manager, said the
team were overwhelmed with the support from ANZ players and across
Asia-Pacific.
“We’d like to thank our players from across Australia, NZ,
Japan, China, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan and South-East Asia, for their
generous support by participating in the silent auction, providing a pure
donation or purchasing fundraising items in the premium shop.
“This is the first silent auction that World of Tanks APAC
has held, and I was blown away to see tanks, such as the FV215b (183) and Type
59, go for as high as $1,000 each. Alongside this, players were incredibly
generous with their donations, with one player alone donating $5,000,” said
Jake.
Funds raised for BlazeAid will go towards the purchase of
three custom trailers, and rebuilding dozens of kilometers of fencing, sheds
and fodder for livestock.

Armed and Gelatinous Splats onto PlayStation 4,
Xbox One, Steam in Q3 2020
New Food Fight, Dodgeball, Target Practice Modes
LOS ANGELES – 3 Feb.
2020 –Armed and
Gelatinous, the frenzied
multiplayer arcade space shooter featuring squishy blob warfare fromThree Flip Studios, bursts onto PlayStation 4 and Xbox One as well
as Windows, Mac and Linux via Steam in Q3 2020. The new Food Fight and
Dodgeball multiplayer modes and single player Target Practice campaign will
debut atPAX East 2020.
Begin conquering space by selecting one of four vibrant blobs. Absorb an arsenal of more than 12 weapons including machine guns, rocket launchers, and laser rifles. Each firearm gained adds more viscous mass along with greater damage capabilities, but don’t be jelly when opponents claim massive stockpiles. Smaller, more agile wobbly warriors can take aim with a juiced up dash attack to blast their bloated brethren to smithereens. Fear not, if peppered with grenades or a hail of bullets, munch on delicious space tacos to replenish health.
PAX East attendees will
be first to master every weapon in the timed challenges of Target Practice, be
the last warrior wiggling in the Dodgeball arena or race for tacos in Food
Fight mode, where the blob who eats the most tacos wins. Climb the global
leaderboards with the best single player times or jiggle through the far
reaches of space with online and local competitive game modes in a plethora of
celestial battlegrounds.
Customize matches by
setting the victory point goal, time limit, number of lives and which weapons
and items are available. Create a bazooka-only match and try to time explosive
attacks perfectly or limit weapon drops and rely on dash attacks.
Armed and Gelatinous features voice talentBrian Sommer from Diablo III and League of Legends
under the direction ofJory Prum (The Walking Dead, The Wolf Among Us, Among
the Sleep), who also engineered the game’s more than 20 eclectic jazz and
retro music tracks in collaboration with artists includingChris Huelsbeck (R-Type, Star Wars: Rogue Squadron) andZac Zinger (Street Fighter, Final Fantasy XV).
“Jory recorded the
perfect sound effects for our wacky zero-gravity space shooter, and his masters
of the 21 tracks on our original soundtrack have given it a truly stellar
vibe,” said Rob Howland, co-founder, Three Flip Studios. “Anyone can learn to
play Armed and Gelatinous, but only the most skilled will dominate. It’s
super easy to pick up and play with friends or the whole family, providing
hours of fun at maximum silliness for every kind of player.”
Armed and Gelatinous will be available for hands-on demos of the
console and arcade cabinet versions at PAX East booth 28077. It will support
English, Japanese, Spanish, French, German and Italian on PlayStation 4, Xbox
One and Steam for Windows, Mac and Linux for $19.99 USD in Q3 2020. Arcade
cabinets are live now at Two Bit Circus in Los Angeles, CA, Quarters Arcade Bar
in Salt Lake City, UT, Starport Arcade and Pub in Morgantown, WV and Glitch Bar
