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.

Cyberpunk Mystery Read Only Memories Comic Issue
#1 Out Now
SAN FRANCISCO – 19 Dec.
2019 –Narrative adventure 2064: Read Only
Memories, which has been
downloaded by more than 1 million gamers, expands to print today as issue #1 of
the Read Only Memories (ROM) comic becomes available online and in brick and
mortar stores.
The four part series
comes from a joint venture between game developer MidBoss and IDW Publishing, whose licensed adaptations include Sonic
the Hedgehog, Transformers, Star Trek, Teenage Mutant Ninja
Turtles, and Star Wars. The latest addition to the ROM universe
promotes intersectional themes of diversity, social issues and technology ahead
of the upcoming cyberpunk adventure, ROM: NEURODIVER.
Following the events of 2064,
Lexi Rivers quit the Neo-San Francisco police department and has settled into
an action-packed life as a private investigator. The effects of AI sentience
have rippled across the globe and through the beach town of Santa Cruz. When a
robot hires Lexi to look for their missing human lover, a simple job turns
deadly as she mixes with the mega-rich who live on high and the gangs of
sentient and angry AI running amok below.
The futuristic mystery
combines the talents of writer Sina Grace, whose work includes Marvel’s Uncanny X-Men and Iceman
as well as Boom! Studios’ Go Go Power Rangers, and Stefano Simeone’s colorful art style previously seen in
AfterShock Comics’ Shoplifters Will Be Liquidated and works in
franchises including Disney’s Star Wars and more from Dark Horse and
Boom! Studios.
“Lexi is brought to life
by the masterful talents of Sina and Stefano,” said Cade Peterson, CEO of
MidBoss. “With IDW’s help, we’ve created a new way for fans to go deeper into
the world they love while also creating an introduction to the ROM setting for
newcomers and furthering our mission statement of creating more media with
diverse representation.”
Read Only Memories Issue #1 is available for purchase at local comic stores and digital copies can be found online at Comixology. The second of the four-issue series will be
available in January 2020.
Based out of San
Francisco (although not the Neo kind), MidBoss aims to make the world better,
safer and more inclusive for marginalized people, especially those across the
gender and sexuality spectrum, by creating cool experiences through games and
other forms of media which diversify representation, as well as becoming a
platform for queer content around the world.

visual entertainment, cultivating a formidable library of world-renowned
licensed brands and creator-owned original IP. Its diverse array of comic
books, graphic novels, and art books deliver reading enjoyment to fans of all

Sydney, Australia – December 18, 2019 – 2K and UnitedMasters have announced the 10 winners of a global contest who will have their songs added to the NBA 2K20 in-game soundtrack. Announced in July, the contest gave artists from around the world the chance to submit songs to UnitedMasters for the opportunity to be featured on the in-game soundtrack. This is the first-time users and fans of NBA 2K have been able to submit their own music to be included in an official soundtrack for the video game.
“2K is proud to be a leading music platform for established
and up-and-coming artists,” said Alfie Brody, vice president of marketing
for NBA 2K. “We strongly feel that music is integral to the NBA
2K experience and we are excited to offer our players a dynamically
updated in-game soundtrack, which now includes these aspiring artists.”

artists throughout the world. 2K and
UnitedMasters narrowed the tracks down to a top-25 list with Steve Stoute,
UnitedMasters Founder and CEO, and 10x NBA All-Star and 2x NBA Champion, Kevin

Steve Stoute, founder and CEO of UnitedMasters. “We’re very proud to work with

doing at UnitedMasters is amazing. If I can help put these talented artists
with NBA 2K then it’s all comes full circle to music and ball for
me,” said Kevin Durant.
Upon
hearing he would be featured on the soundtrack,UM Artist Quantrelle
added, “I thought it was dope because I planned on using a
different distribution service to get my music out, but management suggested
UnitedMasters and to see what they have done with momentum is a true testament
on how UnitedMasters can help propel your career.”
UM
Artist Fourtee reacted upon hearing the news said, “Honestly, it was an
out of body experience. It felt unreal, but thank God I have really high
expectations for my music.”
