DEVELOPER NOVAQUARK RELEASES NEW TRAILER SHOWCASING DEPTH AND SCALE OF SPACE COMBAT

Montreal, Canada, June 11, 2020 — Novaquark, the studio behind massive sci-fi MMO Dual Universe, has released a brand new trailer showcasing never-before-seen footage of Dual Universe’s unique PvP gameplay.

Today’s trailer emphasizes how Dual Universe’s PvP battles will rely on both brain and brawn. An excellent grasp on ship construction (or the means to buy the best ships from the best ship makers) will be just as necessary as being able to maneuver swiftly on the battlefield. Ship size, materials, and weapon and damage types will all play a critical role throughout the course of conflict. Battles, which are based on a lock-and-fire mechanism, will range in scale from small skirmishes between individuals to large-scale warfare between organizations.

“With Dual Universe’s PvP, we have tried to do something really unique and innovative, leveraging the potential of our voxel engine, and first-person immersion inside potentially very large ships,” said CEO Jean-Christophe Baillie. “Fans will have to rely on both their design  and combat skill in order to stake a claim for themselves in battle. It’s all about strategy and planning, teamwork and coordination, just like real life, large-scale naval battles.”

The trailer also showcases the game’s real-time voxel damage, where player-built ships sustain damage depending on the flow of battle, and battleship crews, where every squad or organization member has a role to play in combat. Novaquark has stated that more details and information regarding PvP will be unveiled in the coming weeks.

Sci-fi fans who enjoyed today’s trailer can jump into Dual Universe right now for $60 USD / €60. Check out the game’s website for more information, or to purchase your pledge pack. Dual Universe’s Beta launch is expected to release this summer, with the full game arriving in 2021.

About Novaquark
Novaquark’s goal is to create the first virtual online civilization, enabling potentially millions of players to shape and share a metaverse of their own, together, at a scale never seen before. A world with meaning, where everything you do matters and has a permanent impact. Novaquark, composed of veterans from Sony, Apple, CCP Games, Epic Games and Bioware, is on a mission to bring a new generation of MMO through science, expertise and technological innovation.

Lesquin, France, June 11, 2020 – NACON and Cyanide are pleased to release a cinematic trailer for Werewolf: The Apocalypse – Earthblood, which introduces the world the game takes place in.
 
Watch the cinematic trailer for Werewolf: The Apocalypse – Earthblood now:

The video conveys the depth and complexity of the hero’s story and highlights the aggressive exploitation of nature by humans.

Cahal has one goal: to rescue his daughter. But to accomplish this he must also confront the deadly threat of a corrupt corporation that is poisoning the world:  Endron, a petroleum subsidiary of the megacorporation Pentex.

Because Cahal can transform into a wolf, he can see what common mortals can’t and therefore exposes the true, corrupt nature of Endron and its devastating operations. Faced with its wanton destruction of nature, concealed by the hypocrisy of a “greenwashing” advertising campaign, the rage within Cahal – one of the game’s core mechanics – transforms him into a werewolf so he can wage war against corrupting supernatural forces.

Werewolf: The Apocalypse – Earthblood is the first action-RPG game adapted from the eponymous horror franchise. Mature, brutal, and complex, it invites the player to embody Cahal throughout his quest of bloody redemption. He’ll play an essential role in the great war led by the Garous against Pentex, whose activities are devastating the natural world.
 
Meet us at NACON CONNECT on July 7 to discover the first gameplay trailer of Werewolf : The Apocalypse – Earthblood

NBA 2K21 Debuts Stunning Teaser Trailer Running In-Engine on PlayStation™ 5

2K today debuted a jaw-dropping teaser trailer of NBA 2K21 running in-engine on PlayStation™ 5 (PS5) during PS5’s Future of Gaming event. The first 2K title to be shown on next-gen hardware, NBA 2K21 is being built from the ground-up to fully utilize the incredible power, speed and technology of the PlayStation 5 and promises to be the premier sports gaming experience, and a standout visual showcase for the next generation of gaming.

“New console launches are few and far between, and we’re incredibly excited to show a sneak peek at what our fans can look forward to from NBA 2K21 running on next-gen hardware,” stated Melissa Bell, Senior Vice President, Global Marketing at 2K. “Today’s showing is just a glimpse of how our team is building the future of gaming with NBA 2K21, and how we’re creating the most realistic sports simulation on the planet – a must-have title for sports fans and gamers alike this year.”

The full-length trailer, released by 2K following the event, features NBA star Zion Williamson and co-founder of Visual Concepts Greg Thomas highlighting the next-gen console’s ability to deliver lightning-fast load times and incredibly realistic visuals, capable of showcasing the legends of today with the technology of tomorrow. Zion is also shown demonstrating his handles before executing a backboard-shattering dunk – all captured in-engine with tremendous visual fidelity, bringing NBA 2K21’s basketball simulation even closer to real life. 

“From graphics as in-your-face as Zion’s dunk to almost unrecognizable loading speeds of less than two seconds, NBA 2K21 for next gen is poised to shatter all our previous notions of what this franchise can deliver,” said Thomas. ”With 2K21, we’ve got something that merges incredible graphic capabilities with new in-game opportunities to reset the sports sim standard.”

“I’m hyped by how realistic the next gen gameplay is and how accurately it captures my looks and playing style,” stated New Orleans Pelicans’ Zion Williamson. “It’s mind blowing to see what 2K has created with NBA 2K21. I can’t wait to see what else NBA 2K21 has in store.”

For next-gen, NBA 2K21 will feature drastically improved load speeds, visual fidelity on an unmatched level and an unrivalled breadth of content for basketball fans and players. Fans can expect new game features, game modes, brand partnerships, social events, in-game experiences and a brand new soundtrack that will break records for the largest in-game collection of music ever in any video game.  These updates and more will set the bar for sports simulation games when the game debuts this Spring.

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA – June 12, 2020 – Today on PlayStation’s Future of Gaming digital event, Capcom, a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games, announced Resident Evil™ Village, the eighth entry in the best-selling Resident Evil™ series.
