Journey Further Into The Deep – Huge Barotrauma Update
The Beasts Within Is Out Now
Massive free update adds new submarine, traitor
missions, monsters, character customisation options, radically overhauled AI
behaviour and over 100 quality of life improvements
HAMBURG, Germany – 22nd November, 2019: Publisher Daedalic Entertainment and independent studios FakeFish and Undertow Games are pleased to announce that the unique sci-fi submarine simulator Barotrauma has received its second major update, suitably titled ‘The Beasts Within’.
Barotrauma (priced at $29.99/£21.49 GBP/€24.99) sends up to 16 players on an underwater journey in a range of submarines beneath the surface of Jupiter’s moon Europa. It’s there they’ll discover alien wonders and/or horrors, command various submarine systems, and fight to survive dangers from both outside and within.
‘The Beasts Within’ update
comes to the celebrated early access survival game for no extra cost and
features not only a raft of quality of life features but new content:
·
New Character Customisation Options: 30 new character sprites,
including new hair, beard and accessory options to give fans more ways to make
their crew feel visually unique.
·
New Kastrull Submarine: The Kastrull is a dependable attack
submarine that brings plenty of firepower to any fight. Sporting an
experimental open ballast tank, low tolerance to flooding, and numerous crew
stations, a large, experienced crew will get the most out of these subs.
·
New Traitor Missions: The ability for players to secretly work
against their teammates to manufacture their underwater demise is one of the
most popular ways to play Barotrauma online. This update adds five bonus
traitor missions, with more varied objectives than before.
·
New Hammerhead Monster Species: This new alien species will pose
a challenge even for Barotrauma veterans. The tiny Spawn variants aren’t a
danger on their own, but in numbers they can easily overwhelm even a well
prepared crew. Their Matriarch, on the other hand, is strong, angry and, in
true sci-fi tradition, can punch a hole in your hull just for funsies.
This new content is also accompanied by an improved server browser, radically
overhauled bot AI logic to make it easier to tackle missions on your own in
single-player, and over 100 quality of life improvements and bug fixes.
Cross-Platform Play
and Ranked Battles Arrive in World of Warships: Legends
Cross-Platform Play, Ranked Battles, Black Friday, and New Maps!
November 22 – A new update for World of Warships: Legends is coming on November 25 with Cross-Platform Play, Ranked Battles, and Black Friday Events. This update is packed with player-driven content ranging from UI improvements to entire new maps. The update will also be an important milestone for World of Warships: Legends and Wargaming thanks to the introduction of Cross-Platform Play—a first for Wargaming’s console titles.
“Making sure that our players have the best
experience possible is our biggest goal, so I’m excited that both sets of fans
will be able to enjoy World of Warships: Legends together,” states Victor Kislyi,
Wargaming CEO. “This is just the first step in our cross-play efforts; it’s
definitely something we want to build on in the future.”
With Cross-Platform Play, or Cross-Play,
commanders can battle with or against any other player in World of Warships:
Legends regardless if they are on Xbox One or PlayStation 4. Legends is the
first Wargaming title to implement cross-platform functionality, joining the
growing list of games that are including this feature. In World of
Warships: Legends, Cross-Play will reduce matchmaking times on both consoles,
while the game-play experience will remain the same. At the moment, the feature
only works in the matchmaker—players cannot interact between the consoles in regards to voice-chat or playing with friends on a
different console. Cross-Play is a huge step for Wargaming console
titles and they are working on making it fully functional.
The November update also comes with a new mode—Ranked Battles! Ranked Battles provide players new opportunities for even more intense and competitive battles. By adding substantial rewards for participating in the Ranked sprints, every match has an impact. It’s sink or swim in these sprints, make it to the top for the best loot! There are two sprints of Ranked Battles announced—the first one will feature Tier V ships; the second will feature Tier IV ships. These competitive battles will test the skill of players, from preparing their ships and commanders to destroying their enemies.
All this in time for Black Friday! World
of Warships: Legends will have an epic sale and some exclusive deals to
celebrate. Notably, there will be three “Black Edition” ships on sale
for a discounted price compared to their regular counterparts. The three ships
are the Warspite B, Scharnhorst B, and the Atlanta B. The Atlanta was the
reward for completing the first season in World of Warships: Legends and this
will be the first time that she will be available after the full release of the
game. These “Black Edition” ships have a sleek, jet-black skin that
make them stand out on the high seas.
Apart from these major additions, there are
also a number of player-driven
changes. Notably, a filter in the port to help players organize their ships and
a set of new maps.
Experience epic naval action in World of
Warships: Legends, a massively multiplayer online game where you can master the
seas in history’s greatest warships! Recruit legendary commanders from maritime
history, upgrade your vessels and stake your claim to naval supremacy with or
against players around the world in thrilling and immersive battles.
World of Warships: Legends brings the online
naval action loved by millions to home consoles for the very first time,
alongside a host of content and features exclusive to the console experience.

MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries Overview Video Details a Life at the Helm of a Merc Unit
Gameplay of Destructive Firefights, Mech & Contract
Management Explore the Struggle of Surviving the Succession Wars
VANCOUVER (Nov. 21, 2019) – Developer
Piranha Games today released new, never-before-seen gameplay in a crash course
guided walkthrough for MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries, the first mainline
MechWarrior game in nearly two decades, ahead of its launch for PC on Dec. 10
via the Epic Games Store.
The battles on display showcase MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries’ expansively destructible environments, designed so that Mechs can tear through structures while swatting helicopters out of the sky and reducing rival pilots’ rides to scrap. Briefs on the moments between battles make it clear that with mission recovery, pre-deployment loadouts, and the severity of danger faced all in the hands of players to navigate, MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries’ campaign is all about risk, reward, and consequence.
MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries marks the return
of the series’ mission-focused campaign structure, allowing pilots to call the
shots while leading either AI-controlled allies or up to three friends through
optional co-op into dangerous contracts. Unit leaders will decide which risky
missions to accept, where their priorities lie across the Inner Sphere’s
volatile conflict zones, as well as how to best utilize the resources earned
from their dances with death.

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, 21st
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.
