SANTA MONICA, Calif. – October 25, 2019 – The wait is over! Today, the highly-anticipated Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® is available worldwide. Published by Activision, and developed by Infinity Ward, Modern Warfare drops players into an epic reimagining of one of the most iconic series in gaming history.  Activision’s new thriller unites the massive Call of Duty community to play together through crossplay and cross progression support, and to enjoy a load of new post-release content coming free for all players on all platforms.

“The energy across the community has been incredible and we can’t wait for all of our fans to play together, starting today,” said Patrick Kelly, Co-Studio Head and Creative Director, Infinity Ward. “Modern Warfare is packed with campaign, multiplayer, and co-op content; with something for everyone no matter what playstyle.  And launch is just the beginning for us.”

Modern Warfare features unified progression across the entire game, as players enlist in an epic story campaign, engage in the ultimate online multiplayer playground, and play cooperatively with friends in an all-new collection of Special Ops experiences.

“There’s nothing quite like Modern Warfare – this is one of the most celebrated series in gaming – and in reimaging this great title, Infinity Ward has delivered an incredible, new experience that raises the bar for this franchise,” said Byron Beede, Executive Vice President and General Manager, Call of Duty, Activision. “The momentum behind this release has been extraordinary, and today is only the start. There’s so much more to come. This is a great day for Call of Duty fans everywhere.”

Coming off the largest beta in Call of Duty History and awarded “Best Online Multiplayer” by Game Critics Best of E3 2019, Modern Warfare’s multiplayer delivers a heart-pumping experience with best-in-class down the barrel gameplay. With unprecedented variety, players can choose from an array of new play spaces that refine Call of Duty multiplayer. These include the highly praised, fast-action 2v2 Gunfight, classic 6v6 multiplayer, epic large-scale maps supporting high player counts, and everything in between. Players will be able to customize the way they play based on their preference and playstyles through a selection of multiplayer Operators and unparalleled modifiability in the new Gunsmith system.

In the gripping single player story, players will immerse themselves in a visceral narrative that shines a light on the changing nature of modern war. Alongside a cast of international special forces and freedom fighters, fans take the role of tier one operators in a saga that will affect the global balance of power. Additionally, picking up where the Campaign ends is the cooperative Special Ops mode where players can team up in strike-teams of four. Special Ops advances the overarching Modern Warfare lore with multiple ways to play co-op, including Operations, the largest and most involved experience with multi-phased objectives, and the more curated Classic Special Ops, to test your performance with weapons, munitions and other tools.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare features a new engine delivering an immersive and photo-realistic experience across the entire game. The new technology utilizes the latest advancements in visual engineering, including a physically-based material system allowing for state-of-the-art photogrammetry, a new hybrid tile based streaming system, new PBR decal rendering system, world volumetric lighting, 4K HDR, DirectX Raytracing (PC) and more as well as a new GPU geometry pipeline. Spectral rendering delivers thermal heat radiation and infrared identification for both thermal and night-vision in-game imaging. The technical investment made provides a cutting-edge animation system and blend shape system, while the new suite of audio tools allows for full Dolby ATMOS support, on supported platforms, along with the latest in audio simulation effects.

CONQUER YOUR ENEMIES AND DEVELOP YOUR DOMAIN IN ROMANCE OF THE THREE KINGDOMS XIV

Construct Buildings and Obstacles and Control Pivotal Landmarks as You Unite The Three Kingdoms

Hertfordshire, 24^th October 2019 – KOEI TECMO Europe revealed diverse new domestic and battle tactics for their much-anticipated strategy game, Romance of The Three Kingdoms XIV (RTK14). The return of the  iconic franchise is set to launch across the West on the 28^th February 2020 for the PlayStation®4 Computer Entertainment System and digitally on Windows PC via Steam®.

The entire map of China becomes a grand battlefield in RTK14 with no boundaries to where fights can take place. Warfare includes everything from siege, such as battering rams and catapults, to battles on water with a variety of different assault boats. Players will even find famous landmarks from the period of The Three Kingdoms, including the Yangtze River and Yellow River, with the chance to claim them as part of their domain.

In RTK14, claiming land is vital to overthrowing enemy forces and uniting The Three Kingdoms. Once an area is controlled by ally forces an officer can be appointed the role of ‘Area Overseer’, tasked with advancing the land’s development (in commerce, agriculture, etc) to increase its income. During each turn this overseer will supervise the area they’ve been assigned and increase the territory of their forces – this simplifies territorial expansion and can be used tactically to cut off local supply lines. Carefully choosing an officer with appropriate abilities and characteristics can ensure the developments they make will lead to a strong and prosperous domain. For example: Those with a high charm statistic or the fame characteristic, and who are proficient in domestics can become a force to reckoned with.

Some domains envelop Cities and Gates which are extremely important locations on the map. Cities are bases for armies, and as conditions are met can not only grow in scale, but raise their durability. This growth brings increased gold and supplies, as well as unique tactics to defend these locations from enemy units. Gates such as Hulao Gate (which guards Luoyang on the East) and Yangping Gate (that guards Hanzhong from invasion from the North) are just two points on the map which are crucial to control. These sturdy locations can be occupied by military units and, like some of the cities, can have tactics activated to swiftly repel enemies.

While it is pivotal for players to develop areas within domain, it is also important to use ally land to construct an assortment of buildings and obstacles to defend and attack from incoming foes. Faculties such as “Arrow Towers”, which attack enemy units in the area automatically, “Camps”, allowing allied forces to consume less supplies on long campaigns, and “Stone Soldiers”, lower enemy morale and cause great disorder through their ranks, are just a few of the unique strategies players can use to their advantage to protect their land. Combined with Obstacles, which play both an offensive and defensive role, it can have a great impact on the flow of battle. Strategic construction can allow players to re-create famous moments from The Three Kingdoms — set-up a long string of fire trap obstacles and carry out a large-scale fire attack like Lu Xun did at the Battle of Yiling!

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.

Unlimited Access to Over 100 Iconic Games for $4.99—With No Ads or In-App Purchases

NEW YORK — Oct. 24, 2019 — GameClub, the all-you-can-play subscription home for gaming’s greatest hits, has launched today on Apple’s App Store.

“GameClub is a response to freemium fatigue,” said GameClub CEO and co-founder Dan Sherman. “Consumers are drowning in ads and in-app purchases and premium game creators have been crowded out by a model that only works for a handful of genres. GameClub provides a new home for the best developers to come back to mobile to the benefit of gamers everywhere.”

Curated by former TouchArcade editor-in-chief Eli Hodapp, GameClub’s diverse catalog includes many of the highest-rated mobile games on Metacritic, with multiple titles that topped Apple’s own game-of-the-year lists. GameClub is the only place to find these titles, which in aggregate have been downloaded by over 100 million players. Each game is playable without an internet connection and downloaded—not streamed—directly from the App Store.

“One of the hardest questions to answer lately has been ‘what should I be playing on my phone?’” said Hodapp. “GameClub will release new games every week that encapsulate hidden gems and the best of the best of the App Store.”

The central hub for all this curation is the GameClub app, making the best games only a single tap away. Each title is free to download and play—without a subscription—for accounts that previously purchased them through the App Store. Check out GameClub’s library of titles at http://gameclub.io.

The independent developer ROCKFISH Games reveals new details about the game’s story as well as the player ships in EVERSPACE™ 2 in their first two vlogs of the Kickstarter campaign, which has reached 60% of its financing goal after just a little over half of its term.

Hamburg, Germany – October 24, 2019 – After three weeks, the Kickstarter campaign for EVERSPACE™ 2, the new open-world space shooter from independent developer ROCKFISH Games, reached more than 60% of its EUR 450,000 (~USD 500,000) funding goal:

KICKSTARTER LINK PAGE

In addition to significantly improved graphics, a much larger game world and persistent player progression, the Hamburg-based studio continues to have an open ear for community suggestions by placing a high emphasis on extended storytelling and a vast selection of player ships as indicated by the recent announcements on the background story and modular design of player ships in EVERSPACE™ 2. 

Building off the change from the predecessor’s roguelike game mechanics to open-world gameplay with classic RPG elements, the story of the campaign with around 20 hours of playing time is also moving into focus. The hero’s journey will continue as a clone pilot from the previous game, and fans can also look forward to meeting a few familiar faces. The circumstances, however, are completely new: the hero’s motivation is not just to save the entire galaxy, but to search for the purpose of life and his own place in society. The creative team took inspiration from sci-fi film classics like Blade Runner, The Sixth Day and video games like Detroit: Become Human, which all deal with the subject of what it means to be human.

The entire game world of EVERSPACE™ 2 will also be more lively and differentiated. Outlaws will organize themselves into individual clans, which will differ from each other both visually and in their technological development. Assisting in the design of one of these outlaw clans, including a portrait of the boss, is one of the top Kickstarter rewards with only two left. Fiction will also play an important role in the EVERSPACE™ 2 space opera: all kinds of fantastic creatures will cross the player’s paths. Some of them even so gigantic that they could devour entire spaceships whole.

ROCKFISH Games is also adhering to wishes from the community with a multitude of new player ships. In addition to an open game world, space game enthusiasts can look forward to a larger selection of spaceships with extensive possibilities for individualization. Featuring  primary, secondary and tertiary colours as well as the vessels’ insignia, various ship hulls, wings, engines and extentitions can be unlocked and interchanged in a multitude of combinations. The medium fighter class will be supplemented with a light and a heavy class, which will differ considerably in their abilities. Well over 100 different player ships will be available in the final game. Naming and designing one of these ships is another Kickstarter reward. 13 fans have already fulfilled their dream of becoming a spaceship designer, which leaves seven rewards available as the campaign is halfway over.

“In developing the campaign, it was particularly important for us to not only pick up the story from the acclaimed first part of the series, but also that our characters gain more emotional depth and multi-faceted motivation. We put a lot of time and effort into the storytelling and also have support from top storywriter Joshua Rubin to ensure the narrative quality of the 20-hour campaign to reflect our increased ambitions,” said Michael Schade, CEO and co-founder of ROCKFISH Games. “In addition to the much more extensive story in an open-world, the role-playing elements and the loot system, one of the biggest features in EVERSPACE™ 2 is the modular system for an almost infinite number of different player ships that still don’t look arbitrary and also offer different playing styles and extensive customization options.“

Early access of EVERSPACE™ 2 on Steam is currently scheduled for September 2020, with the full version for PC, PlayStation® 4 and Xbox One scheduled for release in the second half of 2021. Backers of the Kickstarter campaign will receive the demo version of EVERSPACE™ 2 via Steam later this year.

Mons, Belgium — October 24th, 2019 — Indie developer Fishing Cactus announced that the next installment in the award-winning Typing Chronicles franchise, Nanotale, is now available on Steam Early Access for $14.99/€14.99/£11.99. Wielding a keyboard as the only tool in their arsenal, players wander through the fantasy world of Nanotale casting powerful spells to manipulate the environment and destroy enemies, in an experience where vigilance and finger dexterity are the key to success.

“We are happy to release Nanotale on Steam Early Access and can’t wait to hear what players think,” said Bruno Urbain, CEO of Fishing Cactus. “Combining adventure and action RPG elements, Nanotale brings a fresh take on typing games, which we hope fans of the genre will appreciate.”

Nanotale tells a fascinating story of a world on the brink of destruction, as the last remnants of magic are dying out. Players take on the role of novice Archivist, Rosalind, who sets out on a journey to the magical valley to collect plant and rock samples as well as catalog mysterious occurrences, in an attempt to unravel the secrets surrounding the looming demise of their world. 

Nanotale delivers a blend of typing adventure and RPG experience as players meet and interact with other characters, solve various puzzles and unleash magical powers to defeat foes. The game draws players in with its unique game mechanics as everything from movement to combat, even to menu controls, is accomplished using solely a keyboard, thus challenging players to sharpen their typing skills throughout the game. The Steam Early Access build is translated into English, with French, Italian, German, Spanish, Portuguese and Chinese versions coming soon after. Nanotale is slated for commercial release in 2020.
