LIONBITE GAMES’ RAIN OF REFLECTIONS LAUNCHES SEPTEMBER
20 ON STEAM
Explore a future dystopian world of complex characters,
choices and turn-based strategy encounters in this ambitious new adventure game
STOCKHOLM
— Aug. 19, 2019 — Indie
studio Lionbite Games has revealed that the story-driven adventure game Rain of Reflectionswill launch on
Windows PC via Steam on Sept. 20, 2019. Delve into a richly layered dystopian
world, survive nail-biting turn-based strategy encounters, hack systems to open
new ways forward, meet a cast of strong-willed characters and make decisions
that will shape the future.
Rain of
Reflections: Chapter 1 – titled “Set
Free” – follows Wilona, a scientist trying to cure a global epidemic of
infertility. When Wilona begins to have doubts about the morality of the
experiments she’s running on the world’s lastborn child, she sets off a
life-or-death quest across the pristine towers of the wealthy elite, the
flooded slums of the underclass, and the cold, sterile halls of the state’s
laboratories.
Throughout your journey, you’ll engage in
turn-based strategy encounters in destructible environments with a range of
tactical options, including stealth, dialogue and combat. You’ll also breach
computer systems, crack locks and eavesdrop on radio communications through a
variety of hacking puzzles.
Your words matter, too. Dialogue choices can
convince, defuse or outsmart other characters in a variety of fully voiced
conversations, which may have serious consequences down the road. They can also
influence the motivation of your allies and enemies in combat, helping to
change the tide of battle at a critical moment.
Rain of
Reflections’ ambitious story will
feature multiple chapters, each a full tale in itself, adding layers to
the world while showing completely new and fresh areas and gameplay
through different perspectives. Chapter 2 – “Open Eye” – will follow a deadbeat
private investigator in a cyberpunk district called The Cluster, while Chapter
3 – “Undercurrent” – will shed light on the Infrared underground resistance
movement and its front figure, Imra.
Lionbite Games is an indie game development
studio in Stockholm, Sweden. The small but ambitious team consists of veteran
developers and new talents alike, led by former games journalist Victor
Lionhead, focused on creating quality-over-quantity video game experiences for

Streets of Rage
4 Platforms & New Character Revealed in Brand New
Neon-Soaked Gamescom Trailer
Introducing Cherry Hunter, a fast and
deadly guitar wielder
PARIS – August 19, 2019 – Fans looking forward to playing Streets of Rage 4 next year will be able to do so on their platform of choice as publisher and co-developer Dotemu (Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap, Windjammers 1 and 2) with co-developers Lizardcube (Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap) and Guard Crush Games (Streets of Fury) today announced that the title will make its way on to PC, Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch. A brand new gameplay trailer released today also introduced the latest character to join Blaze Fielding and Axel Stone: a badass guitar-playing warrior named Cherry Hunter.
Cherry Hunter is the daughter of Adam
Hunter from the original Streets of Rage.
Trained by her father and Axel, Cherry
learned self-defense from a young age. Her interest in following in her
father’s footsteps and becoming a cop soon faded out, replaced by her love of
music. Nowadays, she plays with her electro progressive rock band in some of
the most dangerous places in Wood Oak City. She may look young but make no
mistake – she is a seasoned veteran of kicking ass and taking names.
The new trailer also reveals several
more levels in the upcoming game at different times of day: neon lighted
urban rooftops, elevator, seedy airport hangars, dirty sewers, thumping music
stage and many more are all yours for the taking – lay the smackdown and don’t look back.
Streets of
Rage 4 will be the first
entry to the core series in 25 years, standing as Axel and Blaze’s glorious
return to serving up side-scrolling beatdowns. With lush hand-drawn animations,
new combat abilities, and fresh tracks from an amazing team of composers, Streets
of Rage 4 will be a masterful tribute to and revitalization of the classic
action fans adore.
Streets of Rage 4
is being shown at Gamescom 2019 by appointment only in the business area of the
conference center. Fans looking to play the latest build of Streets of Rage 4
can do so at the upcoming PAX West event in Seattle in booth 6802.

have access to one brand-new Pro Team in-game cosmetics bundle for each of the
14 teams that are part of the Pilot Program Phase 2 – including a headgear, a
uniform and a weapon skin for a specific Operator as well as a universal charm.
More details are available here.
Launched
in 2018, the Pilot Program is Rainbow Six’s first revenue-sharing initiative
that aims to develop a sustainable environment for organizations in the global
esports program. By collaborating with partnered esports brands, the Pilot
Program aims to bring support to the teams and players within the ecosystem and
to help lead Rainbow Six esports into the next phase of its evolution as an
esports title. Phase 2 of the Pilot Program introduced a new and open
qualitative selection process. Applications were open for teams both inside and
outside of the Rainbow Six Siege environment and additionally, in an effort to
promote a fair and neutral evaluation process, third parties were involved in
the review of all candidates. This approach helped Ubisoft to identify the
ideal partners for Phase 2, accurately assessing the organizations’
capabilities and vision, and to determine why they should be part of Rainbow
Six’s ever-expanding esports ecosystem.
Alongside a thriving professional esports scene and a
community of over 45 million registered players, Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege
puts players in the middle of a fast-paced, ever-evolving multiplayer
experience grounded in the selection of unique Operators. Using the right mix
of tactics and destruction, Rainbow Six teams engage their enemies in sieges,
where both sides have exclusive skills and gadgets at their disposal. Defenders
prepare by transforming the environments around them into modern strongholds,
while attackers use recon drones to gain intel for carefully planning their
assault. With access to dozens of Operators inspired by real world
counter-intelligence agents from around the globe, players can choose exactly
how they want to approach each challenge they encounter. Through the constant
addition of new Operators and maps that add to the depth of both strategy and
combat, the unpredictability of each round of Rainbow Six Siege sets a new bar
for intensity and competition in gaming.

TOM
CLANCY’S RAINBOW SIX® SIEGE REVEALS OPERATION EMBER RISE
Rediscover
Kanal in a major map rework and two new Operators, alongside with the Mini
Battle Pass “Call Me Harry”, Phase 1 of the Rainbow Six Siege Battle Pass
SYDNEY AUSTRALIA — August 20th, 2019 — Today, at the Six Major Raleigh, Ubisoft announced the full details of the third season of Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six® Siege Year 4 content. Operation Ember Rise introduces a new Attacker and a new Defender, Amaru and Goyo from Peru and Mexico. The map Kanal has been entirely reworked with an improved navigation between all parts. Finally, Ubisoft announced that Battle Passes are coming into the game, with a free Phase 1 named “Call Me Harry” released later in the season.
Peruvian
Attacker Amaru and Mexican Defender Goyo will bring verticality and fire
in-game. Amaru, a former archaeologist, is equipped with a G8A1 automatic rifle
and a Supernova shotgun. Amaru will also possess the ability to access any high
position in record time with her Garra hook and finish with a Garra kick which
instantly takes out an opponent standing behind the window, making her a
perfect flanker. Amaru helped to train Goyo, a former member of the Mexican
Fuerzas Especiales who uses the dangerous Volcán Shield. Like the ordinary
Deployable Shield, the Volcán Shield provides cover and allows Defenders to
block pathways, but Goyo can turn up the heat with an attached incendiary bomb
that can deny access to key areas by Attackers.
In
addition to these two new Rainbow recruits, players will be able to explore a
reimagined Kanal map, newly reworked to make it easier to rotate and navigate
with a new path linking the eastern and western buildings. Two staircases have
been added to make the entire map more vertical and the number of indoor playable
areas has been increased, with some rooms also seeing an expansion. Last but
not least, all bomb sites have been changed, from the Kitchen to the Security
Room, and the site in the Radio Room is now found in the expanded Lounge Room.
Rainbow
Six Siege will also introduce a Battle Pass, starting
with the Mini Battle Pass “Call Me Harry”. The Mini Battle Pass is Phase 1 of
Rainbow Six Siege’s Battle Pass deployment in Year 4, and will launch during
Operation Ember Rise for free. “Call me Harry” will set its focus on Dr.
Harishva “Harry” Pandey, Director of Rainbow. By earning Battle Points, players
will unlock tiers and unique rewards, and will get an exclusive Harry Chibi
charm upon completion.
Additional
updates include the following:
An all new
unranked playlist containing the same rules as Ranked without affecting
players’ rank or MMR
Fortress,
Hereford Base and Theme Park have all been removed from the Ranked and
Unranked playlists
An all new
Champions rank
Map rotations
have been reworked in Ranked, Casual and Unranked
Player Behavior
updates to combat in-game toxicity
The Operators
menu has been reworked
The shop
interface has been improved
The
Test Server for Operation Phantom Sight will go live on August 20th.
The Test Server is an alternative version of Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege,
allowing players to test upcoming gameplay features that will make their way
into the main game itself. Since this is a testing environment, a consistent
gameplay experience is not guaranteed on the Test Server. Players are invited
to submit the issues they encounter on the Test Server on the R6 Fix platform. The Test Server is exclusive
to Windows PC.
