BRAND-NEW LAUNCH TRAILER! Delve into a world of fear, conspiracy and insanity, as cosmic horror game Moons of Madness has now been released on PC.

OSLO, Norway – Oct 22nd, 2019 – You are about to find out why the moons orbiting Mars are named after the Greek words for terror (deimos) and fear (phobos), as developer Rock Pocket Games and publisher Funcom today released cosmic horror game Moons of Madness on PC.

“There is no better time of year to release Moons of Madness than for Halloween,” says Joel Bylos, Chief Creative Officer of Funcom. “The dark atmosphere of the game, the eerie sounds and creatures you will encounter, the terror you must overcome should all contribute to make Moons of Madness a perfect fit.”

The Norwegian game developer studio Rock Pocket Games has had Moons of Madness as a passion project for a long time, even before Funcom started supporting the game. 

“We wanted to make a game that touches on your inner struggles, as well as the threats you face from the outside, in true Lovecraftian manner,” says Ivan Moen, CEO of Rock Pocket Games. “Now that the game is finally out, we can’t wait to see how players will react.”

The highly anticipated game couples Lovecraftian horror with Mars exploration, and lets you assume the role of Shane Newehart, chief engineer on a research facility 140 million miles away from home. Your job is to make sure all systems run as they should on the Mars base, but after awakening from a disconcerting dream – you begin to realize that you may be in over your head. You’re quickly going to have to rely on your calm, your problem-solving skills and your ability to outrun terrifying creatures, as you delve deeper and deeper into a world of fear, conspiracy and madness.

Moons of Madness is set in the same thematic universe as Funcom’s The Secret World, where conspiracies and dark secrets are commonplace. And although The Secret World-players will recognize certain names and themes, playing one is by no means a prerequisite to enjoy the other.

Moons of Madness is available on Steam for $24.99/€24.99 (pricing may differ across territories). 

The game is also, starting today, available for pre-orders on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 for $29.99/€29.99. The game will be released on console January 21st, 2020.

The first in a new series of dev diaries goes behind the scenes with Narrative Designer Benjamin Kuhn and Art Director Michael Teske

HAMBURG, Germany — Oct. 22, 2019 — Daedalic Entertainment has published the first in a new series of developer diaries about its upcoming team-based real-time strategy game, A Year Of Rain. Narrative Designer Benjamin Kuhn and Art Director Michael Teske discuss the freedom the fantasy genre allows them, the ways in which two-player co-op can shape storytelling, and how each faction plays a unique part in the game’s rich world.

This dev diary also introduces for the first time A Year Of Rain’s third playable faction — the Wild Banners. As the name suggests, this faction is an amalgam of reclusive nomads, tribes, and monstrous humanoids. They are fierce survivalists ready to fight for every scrap of this harsh world.

The heroes leading the Wild Banner armies are every bit as diverse as the faction itself. The Gnoll Chieftain boosts and heals his allies while unleashing a barrage of arrows on his foes. The stealthy and mobile hellspawn Shadowdancer is extremely lethal against single enemies. And the fungal creature known as The Myconid controls the battlefield with spores and minions while supporting allies with symbiotic boosts.

A Year Of Rain will launch on Steam Early Access on Nov. 6, 2019. Wishlist the game on Steam, and for more information, please visit: Official website: https://www.ayearofrain.com

Updates to Melee Combat, Re-works for Ember and Vauban, Vampiric Kavat, Titania’s Deluxe Skin Collection, and More, Complete Content-Packed Update, Coming Soon to PC

LONDON, ON – October 21, 2019 –  Empyrean — the next epic chapter in the Warframe® saga — looms on the horizon, and Canadian developer and publisher Digital Extremes is preparing players with a rich assortment of new content, including the early debut of a brand new personalized antagonist, the Kuva Lich, in The Old Blood update, coming soon to PC. The Old Blood update will also feature the new Grendel Warframe, meaningful reworks to classic Warframes and Melee combat, and much more. 

Early Launch of the Kuva Lich Presents Players with a Menacing, Personalized Challenge 

First announced at TennoCon 2019 as part of Empyrean, the Kuva Lich — an insidious enemy that shares a symbiotic relationship with players — will launch ahead of schedule in The Old Blood update, giving players a sneak peek at one of the original new game systems that will grow and transform when Empyrean launches later this year. 

The Kuva Lich and its allies will relentlessly terrorize players across the Origin System, requiring Tenno to decipher clues to hunt down and defeat them. However, each time the Kuva Lich is defeated, it will evolve into a new form, growing more powerful, absorbing Tenno Abilities and amassing resources and allies that will dramatically alter players’ next encounter, whether it be planetside, or in future updates, aboard a warship in the deep reaches of space. 

The only way to defeat the Immortal Kuva Lich is with the brand new PARAZON – a covert data blade that will be used for the ultimate lethalities – if a Tenno has prepared! 

Grendel, the Warframe with The Giant Appetite, Unleashes a Stomach Churning New Way to Fight

A nightmarish predator to his foes but a compassionate liberator to his allies, Grendel — the 42nd Warframe — is armed with stomach-churning Abilities that consume and regurgitate his enemies. These Abilities empower his party and deal massive damage, and can also send Grendel literally barreling over the opposition. 

Grendel can be constructed from parts acquired free in-game or purchased in the Marketplace, standalone, or as part of a bundle, which includes Grendel’s signature weapon, alternate helmet and Syandana. 

Visit Warframe.com for more information about Grendel, including a full list and descriptions of his Abilities.

Melee Changes: Phase 2 Makes Close Quarters Combat More Streamlined and Intuitive 

Tenno will experience Melee Changes: Phase 2, a meaningful overhaul that streamlines, deepens, and varies Warframe’s lightning fast melee combat, in The Old Blood update. Featuring a reworked Combo System that makes initiating, chaining and ending combos seamless and intuitive, the addition of Heavy Attacks that enables enemies to be lifted, and much more, Melee Changes: Phase 2 equips players with deadly, versatile tools for close quarters encounters.

For more details about Melee Changes: Phase 2, please visit the Developer Workshop forum post on Warframe.com.

Reworks Give Deadly Abilities to Ember and Vauban, Acquire New Skin Collections and Pet Armor, and More

The Old Blood Update is completed with the reworks for the Warframes Ember and Vauban, which adjusts their stats and re-imagines their core Abilities to make them feel fresh, exciting, and better suited for modern day Warframe gameplay, and stunning new collectibles to diversify player Loadouts.
 

• Vauban now comes armed with new explosive toys to play with, plus added mobility and lethality to complement his penchant for immobilizing and damaging groups of enemies.
• Ember’s new Immolation gauge makes using her an engaging challenge where precision is key. Casting Abilities will build up the meter and generate defensive armor for Ember, but if it overloads and flames out, a powerful wave of damage will be unleashed and leave her exposed. 
• Titania’s Deluxe Skin Collection creates an aesthetic capable of mesmerizing and striking fear into enemies. The Deluxe Collection includes a regal new Skin for Titania, variants of her signature Diwata and Pixia weapons, a new Armor Set, and a new Gunblade Skin.
• For those looking to add a spookier presence on the battlefield, breed the brand new vampiric Kavat, Vasca. 
• Add sleek visual flair to your Kavat and Kubrow companion with an Armor Collection themed after the Tigris shotgun. 

To learn more about Ember’s and Vauban’s rework, please visit Warframe.com.
