COMBINE UNIQUE MAGICAL POWERS AND UNLEASH A UNISON RAID TO DEFEAT YOUR FOES IN FAIRY TAIL

Form Your Dream-Team With Familiar Guild Members and Rivals Alike – Five New Characters Join The Roster!

Hertfordshire, 21^st November 2019 – Today, KOEI TECMO Europe and developer GUST Studios revealed five new playable characters and further details of the intense magic battle systems in their upcoming JRPG, FAIRY TAIL, available Spring 2020 on Nintendo Switch™, PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, and Windows PC via Steam®. Based on the anime and manga of the same name by Hiro Mashima, players will be able to follow the series’ enchanting storyline from the popular Tenrou Island arc through to the Tartaros arc, along with all-new original episodes.

FAIRY TAIL will see Natsu and the team fight against a variety of foes in their quest to become the No. 1 guild in Fiore. Battle parties consist of up to five mages, allowing fan-favourite characters to combine together to perform impressive magical attacks displayed across a three-by-three battlefield grid. Each move deals a certain amount of damage across the tiles – choosing appropriate attacks can ensure a swift victory over troublesome enemies. By dealing damage, players will fill up the ‘Fairy Gauge’. This special ‘Magic Chain’ attack allows each party member to deal a combo of attacks before unleashing a powerful finisher – sometimes strong characters, like the beloved Guild Leader Makarov, may even jump in to deal devastating damage with their ‘Extreme Magic’.

When the ally party comes under heavy damage and are in a pinch, characters can awaken dormant abilities for a few turns, drastically increasing their powers. Some mages even have access to whole new attacks – Dragon Slayers can use ‘Dragon Force’ instead of their ‘Awakened’ abilities, while some mages can perform a ‘Mode Change’ offering a wealth of new battle options. Natsu’s renowned ‘Lightning Fire Dragon’s Iron Fist’ is an example of the enhanced abilities that can be performed. Some mages are even able to unite together to perform mighty combination attacks, known as a ‘Unison Raid’, triggering a special ‘Unison Raid’ cutscene right before unleashing the incredible attack against oncoming foes.

To assist in battle, GUST Studios announced five new playable characters joining the fray — not from FAIRY TAIL but from rival guilds in Fiore. New characters include the ‘Sky God Slayer’ Sherria Blendy from Lamia Scale, the ‘Strongest Fencer’ Kagura Mikazuchi from Mermaid Heel, the ‘Handsome’ Blue Pegasus mage Ichiya Vandalay Kotobuki, and the ‘White Dragon’ Sting Eucliffe and ‘Shadow Dragon’ Rogue Cheney from Sabertooth. These exciting new additions to the cast join the previously announced Natsu Dragneel, Lucy Heartfilia, Gray Fullbuster, Erza Scarlet, Wendy Marvell, Gajeel Redfox and Juvia Lockser – all battle-ready with powerful magic abilities. With more than 12 playable characters available, players will able to form a dream team with FAIRY TAIL members and their rivals and set off on an adventure like never before.

FAIRY TAIL is available to pre-order now from GAME and independent retailers through Centresoft.

Borderlands 3’s First Campaign Add-On Revealed, See the New Trailer Now

Moxxi’s Heist of the Handsome Jackpot will launch on December 19. Story DLC, next patch, Free Weekends, and more detailed on episode three of The Borderlands Show.

Get ready to go all in, Vault Hunter. Moxxi’s Heist of The Handsome Jackpot has been officially revealed as the first campaign add-on for Borderlands 3, and it’s slated to launch on December 19. During episode three of The Borderlands Show, regular hosts Greg Miller and Fran Mirabella were joined by Gearbox Studio Head Randy Pitchford to delve into the details of this casino-raiding caper.

In short, Moxxi’s recruiting you to seize control of a derelict space station built by the infamous Handsome Jack back when he was still President of the Hyperion corporation. The Handsome Jackpot is quite possibly the gaudiest gambling spot in the galaxy, with neon signs, slot machines, and gold statues all over the place. It’s also crawling with multiple models of deadly Hyperion Loader Bots, as well as lunatic looters who’ve been trapped on board ever since Jack’s death. But that’s not all:

• Explore a glitzy new galaxy destination packed with unique zones worthy of Handsome Jack’s lavish lifestyle and dirty dealings;
• Join Moxxi’s crew of eccentric characters and pull off the ultimate casino heist in a series of thrilling campaign missions;
• Discover hidden secrets and strange happenings in The Handsome Jackpot via fresh side missions and Crew Challenges;
• Get a blast from Pandora’s past when you battle the Hyperion forces that outlived Handsome Jack, including never-before-seen enemies and larger-than-life bosses;
• Perfect your Vault Hunter’s gear loadout with all-new Legendary weapons and gear;
• Expand your collection of cosmetics with even more customization items, including Vault Hunter heads and skins, weapon trinkets, an ECHO Device skin, and new emotes.

Moxxi’s Heist of The Handsome Jackpot is tuned for characters who are at least level 13, but will automatically scale up so that higher-level Vault Hunters can find a challenge and appropriately powerful loot. In order to access this content, you’ll need to have unlocked Sanctuary III, your space-faring home base that you reach at the end of the campaign’s prologue. For more information on Borderlands 3’s first expansion, just click right here.

As a reminder, Moxxi’s Heist of The Handsome Jackpot is the first of four DLC packs in development for Borderlands 3, and is included in both the Season Pass and the Borderlands 3 Super Deluxe Edition. If you’d like to try before you buy, you can check out Borderlands 3 for free on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 for a limited time from November 21 to 24.

Though Borderlands 3’s first campaign add-on doesn’t launch until December 19, its next free content update drops imminently. Both Takedown at the Maliwan Blacksite and Mayhem 4 are being introduced in this next patch, giving veteran Vault Hunters more ways to put their skills to the test.

Takedown at the Maliwan Blacksite is a brand new raid-style challenge tuned for coordinated co-op parties of four max-level characters, with restricted respawning to make your opposition that much deadlier. The all-new Mayhem 4 puts a spin Mayhem Mode by removing all player penalties and instead applying just two random modifiers: one that applies a bonus to players and one that applies a bonus to enemies. It also offers its own exclusive batch of Legendary gear that will only drop while Mayhem 4 is enabled.

As discussed on today’s episode, this patch also brings all of the following changes:

• All bosses will now have dedicated loot pools so you can more efficiently farm for coveted Legendary items;
• Maximum Bank Space will be upgraded from 50 to 300 slots; as usual, SDUs that boost your bank size can be purchased from Marcus aboard Sanctuary III;
• A Target Dummy wearing a very familiar mask will be installed in Sanctuary III’s shooting range so you can safely test out your weapons;
• New Vending Machines will be deployed across multiple maps;
• Players will notice overall UI performance improvements.

Finally, Gearbox announced Mayhem 2.0, a long-term plan to overhaul Mayhem Mode with more UI support, new Mayhem Modifiers that change gameplay more dramatically, Mayhem playlists, new rewards, and additional levels of Mayhem to work through. More information about Mayhem 2.0 will be available next year.

We’ll be showing off more of the action and adventure you can expect in Moxxi’s Heist of The Handsome Jackpot as we approach this add-on campaign’s December 19 launch date. We also plan to share the patch notes in full once the patch has gone live.

Gorgeous FPS Bright Memory Opens Fire with New Features, Localizations in Early Access 

 Full Game, Bright Memory Infinite, Storms PC in Q4 2020, Consoles TBA

TOKYO – 20 Nov. 2019 – Bright Memory, a high-octane, visually-stunning first-person shooter made by a single developer at FYQD Studio and published by PLAYISM, receives an Early Access update today on PC adding new graphics options, voice-overs, and other improvements.

The full game, titled Bright Memory: Infinite, will explode onto Steam in Q4 2020 with console versions to follow. Owners of the Early Access version of Bright Memory will receive the full PC version, Bright Memory: Infinite, at no additional cost upon release.

Until then, Steam Early Access players can enjoy a variety of new visual options, including 90, 100, and 100-degree field-of-view options, chromatic aberration, and ultrawide support. Controller rumble support is now implemented and the English and Japanese localizations have been fully revamped with dubbed voice-overs featuring talent such as Ishikawa Yui, who portrayed 2b in Nier Automata and Mikasa in Attack on Titan.

Lay waste to enemies with a mix of gunfire and fast-paced swordplay. Dodge attacks with a smooth dash, then quickly dish out damage, juggling foes to keep them off-balanced and racking up massive combos. Unleash a powerful pulse ability to obliterate barriers and extinguish fires, then knock enemies into the air, making them vulnerable to swift melee strikes. 

In the year 2020, a mighty material is discovered capable of reviving the dead. The private military company SAI will stop at nothing to claim this powerful new substance for themselves, and infiltrate the base in which it is stored. When defending the compound, Special Operative Shelia accidentally activates the teleporter SAI used to penetrate the fort, warping her and the SAI to a continent floating over the north pole, where due to the substance revived creatures once assumed to be of myth, such as dragons and demons, are resurrected alongside humans. 

Bright Memory is made by a solo developer based out of Guangxi, China. Inspired by AAA first-person shooters and combo-driven action adventures, he has used ray-tracing and other techniques to create a breathtaking and realistic visual aesthetic rivaling the work of larger teams.

“Playing AAA shooters inspired me to make games, and I aspire to create an experience on par with my favorite titles in quality and polish,” said Zeng, developer, FYQD Studio. “The visuals may be the first thing to catch your attention, but it’s the tight, visceral gameplay wrapped in a fusion of classical myths with futuristic technology that will keep you playing.”

The new Bright Memory updatewill be available on Steam Early Access in Japanese, English and Simplified Chinese at no cost for current players. New players can join the fray at a sale price of $4.68 USD.

For more information, please visit the Bright Memory Steam page.
