CREATE AN OFFICER AND LEAD THE CHARGE ACROSS ANCIENT CHINA IN ROMANCE OF THE THREE KINGDOMS XIV

CREATE AN OFFICER AND LEAD THE CHARGE ACROSS ANCIENT CHINA IN ROMANCE OF THE THREE KINGDOMS XIV

Control an Officer of Your Own Creation, Earn a Promotion, then Lead the Troops to Victory!

Hertfordshire, 19th December 2019 – Today, KOEI TECMO Europe and famed developer Kou Shibusawa introduced all-new gameplay elements to their greatly-anticipated strategy game, Romance of The Three Kingdoms XIV (RTK14), including the first information on officer creation, promotion, and search. The return of the iconic franchise is set to launch across the West on the 28th February 2020 for the PlayStation®4 Computer Entertainment System and digitally on Windows PC via Steam®.

Over 1,000 officers are featured in RTK14, each with their own traits and characteristics to help crush opposing armies and outwit enemies. But if following the likes of Liu Bei or Guan Yu isn’t what you’re looking for, gamers will also be able to freely create new officers from scratch. Creation tools include everything from the officer’s name to their abilities and face. Additionally, specific setting such as the officer’s politics, character traits, tactics, and favourite formations will also be customisable to help create the officer of your choice, whether it’s purely from imagination or the polygonal resurrection of some of history’s more famous military minds.

If creating officers isn’t your thing, gamers will also be able to search for officers with unique character traits, recruit them, then employ them in battle. Take command of officers with character traits such as “Insightful” or “Recruiter” to scout other officers who may become helpful allies in your quest to control Ancient China. RTK14 requires a lot of specialised personnel in order to conquer the map, so searches and recruitment are vital conditions to advancing your army, especially when it comes to utilising the officer’s set character traits. For example: Officers that possess traits such as “Duelist,” “Heroic,” or Vigorous” can execute duels on the battlefield, and during the automated duels, officers with the traits “Duelist” and “Vigorous” are given the upper hand. When defeated in battle, the losing officer may be wounded, captured, or may even die, and the units of the losing side will have their morale severely lowered. When a unit’s morale reaches zero, it is annihilated, so the character traits Duelist, Heroic, and Vigorous become extremely powerful in battle. Other traits like “Divination” will help prevent disasters like plagues and locusts from attacking your base, while a trait like “Abundant Harvest” will help increase supply income. Meanwhile, some officers will also feature character traits such as “Reckless” and “Irritable” and while powerful, these officers will be difficult to control. To find ultimate success in RTK14, gamers will need to figure out how to effectively find or create the right officer for the right position.

As officers become more and more successful throughout the game and begin to take over cities, the imperial court will bestow a “Royal Rank.” The bestowed Royal Rank will provide various benefits such as increasing the number of commands that can be executed during diplomacy or being able to designate the timing to trigger optional tactics to the troops. When the Royal Rank is “Duke” or higher, attack targets can be set by province, and campaigns can be executed to district units across multiple bases. Regular marches require a single order for each unit, whereas campaigns can be executed thanks to a single order across all units, helping strategies unfold in a more dynamic and effortless fashion, establishing Royal Rank as key to officer and army success in the ultimate quest to take control over Ancient China.

Romance of The Three Kingdoms XIV is available for pre-order now at GAME and independent retailers through Centresoft. Those who purchase any version of the game within the first 2 weeks of launch will be able to download the additional scenario ‘Battle of Yiling’ for free.

KOEI TECMO Europe also released Episode 2 of their Developer Diary series today to let fans dive deeper into the creation of the renowned grand-strategy series, with Producer Echigoya-san.

Our resident Santa Claus, Chris, has prepared a festive stocking for everyone whether they’ve been naughty or nice.

Winter Fury: Longest Road Tramples Out of Early Access, Launches Today

Winter Fury: Longest Road Tramples Out of Early Access, Launches Today

DALLAS — Dec. 18, 2019 — Winter Fury: Longest Road, the VR tank action and first-person shooter from former Activision and THQ developers at SpiderMonk Entertainment and publisher 10th Reality, takes to the frontlines today, playable on HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, Valve Index, and Windows Mixed Reality.

Repel the Axis’ terrifying armed forces from the cockpit of an experimental M-4 Sherman tank. Spread armored justice throughout rural Germany in Tank Commander mode and operate the control sticks in real-time with VR controls and motion tracking. Unleash carnage by rotating the turret manually and firing the devastating cannon at enemy troops, tanks, and fully-destructible buildings.

When surrounded by forces coming in from all sides, exit the hatch and hit the ground running. Wield historically-accurate armaments ranging from assault rifles to sniper rifles or bunker up with a .50 caliber heavy machine gun to lay waste to oncoming soldiers and enemy armor. It takes a cool head, a keen eye, and multi-tasking skills to survive Tank Commander mode.

Anyone new to VR should try Longest Road mode for an easier acclimation to Winter Fury’s chaos. The arcade light gun experience manages the tank’s movement. Players instead focus on taking out enemies with the .50 Cal, ducking behind the tank for cover, throwing grenades and shooting rockets at oncoming attackers. Fire heavy shells at bosses like armored trains and destroyer ships. Varying difficulties allow players both seasoned and casual to tailor the game to their preference.

“History buffs and action fans alike will find something to love in Winter Fury: The Longest Road” said Scott March, founder of SpiderMonk Entertainment. “Tank Commander mode’s authentic battle experience and Longest Road’s more casual arcade-style play are equally visceral and we hope you enjoy both styles.”

Winter Fury: Longest Road is available in English for $19.99 on VR headsets. It will be available for $14.99 at a 25% discount during the upcoming Steam winter sale. For more information, please visit the official website, Twitter and Discord.
