HUNT: SHOWDOWN OFFICIALLY LAUNCHES ON WINDOWS PC

HUNT: SHOWDOWN OFFICIALLY LAUNCHES ON WINDOWS PC

Crytek’s online multiplayer bounty hunting game gets all-new DLC on PC and will officially release on Xbox One soon!

FRANKFURT, Germany – Aug. 27, 2019 – Today is the day! Crytek’s online multiplayer bounty hunting game Hunt: Showdown has fully launched out of Steam Early Access and is now available on Windows PC for $39.99 standalone, or bundled with the new “Legends of the Bayou” DLC for $44.99.  The Xbox One version of Hunt is expected to launch out of Xbox Game Preview soon.

The “Legends of the Bayou” DLC plunges deep into the bayou’s dark heart to bring players two new Legendary Hunter characters, two unique weapons, and 500 Blood Bonds. Stepping out of the shadows are two formidable Legendary Hunters—the Bone Doctor and the Weird Sister—as well as the Legendary Copperhead, a Nagant M1895 named for the ubiquitous indigenous snake. Players who already own the game can purchase the DLC alone for $9.99.

As a Steam Early Access title, Hunt: Showdown grew substantially over time with more than 20 updates and patches developed with constant feedback from the community. That close cooperation between the team and fans, says Hunt Producer Fatih Özbayram, was integral to the game’s development process.

Hunt: Showdown’s development has been completely community-driven, and that has been such a rewarding experience for the entire team. Together with the community, we were able to create the fun, tense, memorable gaming experience we set out to make,” said Özbayram. “For example, it was a community request that inspired us to add teams of three to Hunt, alongside many other features. So a big thank you goes out to everyone who has supported us throughout the development process – we couldn’t have done it without you!”

About Hunt: Showdown

Hunt: Showdown is a competitive first-person bounty hunting game that packs the thrill of survival games into a match-based format. Set in Louisiana in 1895, the game boasts a mixture of PvP and PvE elements that creates a uniquely tense experience. It’s not just the creatures who are a threat—it’s every Hunter on the map. In the classic game mode, a match of Hunt pits ten players—playing solo or in teams of two—against each other as they race to take out gruesome beasts for a bounty they must collect and get off of the map, while Hunt’s quickplay mode offers a shorter match for solo players to scavenge for weapons as they compete for a diminishing pool of bounty. The higher the risk, the higher the reward–but a single mistake could cost everything.

Espire 1: VR Operative Ready to Deploy on All Major VR Platforms September 24, 2019

Espire 1: VR Operative Ready to Deploy on All Major VR Platforms September 24, 2019

Pre-order Offers Available Now

ROSWELL, Ga. – Aug. 27, 2019 – Publisher Tripwire Interactive and developer Digital Lode announced today that Espire 1: VR Operative is scheduled to launch on all major VR platforms on Sept. 24, 2019, including Oculus Quest, Oculus Rift, Oculus Rift S, HTC Vive, Valve Index, Windows Mixed Reality, and PlayStation®VR.

Following a successful showing at E3 2019, where Espire 1: VR Operative received the prestigious Best of Show award from Upload VR, in addition to multiple Best of Show nominations, pre-orders are now available for the most anticipated VR title of 2019.

Starting later today, PC customers who pre-order the game on Steam will also receive a free Steam copy of Tripwire’s first VR title, Killing Floor: Incursion.

PlayStation®VR fans (North America only at this time) who pre-order on the PS Store will receive a 15% off discount starting on August 30, 2019.

Espire 1: VR Operative aims to set the new gold standard for the stealth genre in virtual reality –introducing the “Control Theatre,” a unique solution to the challenge of VR motion sickness for first-person titles. Espire 1: VR Operative drafts players as drone operators of the future. Players become “Espire Agents” and use cutting-edge Virtual Reality hardware to remote-operate the Espire model 1 from the safety of their Control Theatre.

The technology behind the Control Theatre and the game’s approach to movement lie at the heart of Espire 1: VR Operative’s gameplay and intuitive VR control system. Any time a player performs any artificial locomotion, the game world shrinks down to the size of a floating tablet, with the Control Theatre visible in the player’s peripheral vision. This “VR within VR” system allows for precise, full freedom movement, while maintaining immersion, and eliminating “VR motion sickness” for almost everyone. The Control Theatre is fully customizable to suit the player’s level of comfort, and can be fully disabled for those already comfortable moving in VR.

This unprecedented freedom of movement allows the title’s stealth and action gameplay mechanics shine. Make sure to check out our press kit for series of curated gameplay gifs, showing an Espire Agent stealing a guards gun to neutralize him, using the voice command “Freeze” to immobilize a guard, throwing a spare ammunition clip to cause a distraction, and activating bullet time to headshot multiple guards while dropping down from the ceiling.

Espire 1: VR Operative Key Features Include:

  • The definitive VR stealth experience: bringing the stealth genre to the exciting medium of Virtual Reality, delivering gameplay mechanics for the stealth and action genres that have yet to be explored.
  • Full freedom of movement: allowing players the freedom to move anywhere within their virtual environment, moving, climbing, and falling with full comfort and no motion sickness for almost all players.
  • Complete single-player story, rich in detail: developed as a dedicated single player VR experience with individual story missions and scenario missions that use the story mission environments for short challenges.
  • Voice control: Using the VR headset’s onboard microphone, players can make commands and perform actions simply by speaking. The noises players make can draw the enemy to their location – adding a new way to gain the advantage.
  • Arsenal of weapons and gadgets: As an Espire model 1 Operative, players will have access to dozens of unique gadgets and weapons such as a tranquilizer pistol and deployable spy cameras in order to complete the mission objectives.
  • Global Leaderboard: A worldwide tally awards players a competitive score based on mission time, movement, stealth, ammo conservation, takedowns and other factors.
  • Intuitive controls that mimic real life: Interaction in this game aims to be natural and intuitive. Instead of memorizing dozens of button combinations for every action, players perform them as they would in real life. Operatives can crouch and enter cover by physically using their body.
  • Smart AI: Enemy combatants in this game actively hunt the player. The AI responds to sight, sound, and other stimuli and will react to with varying levels of suspicion based on the player’s physical stance, movement speed, cover and relative location.

To stay up to date on the latest news as development for Espire 1: VR Operative continues, be sure to visit the official website – and follow the developers on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube.

FEEL THE SUPERSONIC RUSH OF GAUSS, THE 41ST WARFRAME, IN THE SAINT OF ALTRA UPDATE COMING THIS WEEK ON PC

FEEL THE SUPERSONIC RUSH OF GAUSS, THE 41ST WARFRAME, IN THE SAINT OF ALTRA UPDATE COMING THIS WEEK ON PC

Take this Speedy Warframe for a Run, Explore the Expanded Disruption Mode, Exchange Looks and Mods With the New Chat Link Features, and More.
 

LONDON, ON – August 27, 2019 – Canadian publisher and developer Digital Extremes is ready to unharness the blazing power and speed of its new Warframe, Gauss, along with a cool collection of enticing updates for Warframe® players in the Saint of Altra update coming this week on PC. The fleet-footed Gauss blindsides the toughest of enemies by generating kinetic energy to wield an assortment of powerful moves and Abilities. The popular, endless Disruption Mode introduced in The Jovian Concord has expanded to new planets, mission types, and factions to truly challenge players across the Origin System. And Digital Extremes will soon grant players the chance to upscale an endless variety of fashion frames and Mods with the new ‘Look Link’ and ‘Mod Link’ chat features.

The 41st Warframe offers a suite of Abilities using kinetic movement to build up his unique speed gauge to unleash a diverse arsenal of offensive and defensive Abilities. They include:

  • MACH RUSH: Burst into a hyper-sprint to run across water, traverse across large areas faster, bowl over enemies and re-charge his Speed Gauge. Crashing into solid objects generates a powerful shockwave.
  • KINETIC PLATING: Generate armor plating that converts a portion of absorbed Kinetic Damage into Energy. Also protects Gauss from being staggered or knocked down. Damage Resistance is relative to battery level. 
  • THERMAL SUNDER: Siphon kinetic energy from the area, charging the battery and inflicting Cold Status on nearby enemies. Press and hold to reverse the process, draining the battery and inflicting Heat Status on nearby enemies. 
  • REDLINE: Push Gauss’ battery beyond the redline, supercharging his Abilities and setting Fire Rate, Attack Speed, Reload Speed, and Holster Rate into overdrive. When past the redline, bolts of arcing electricity dance periodically from Gauss, exploding en masse when the ability is deactivated.
  • PASSIVE: Never stop moving. Keeping Gauss in motion generates an electrical current that charges his Speed Gauge, helping Shields recharge up to 80% faster, and decreasing recharge delay up to 80%.

Gauss can be constructed from parts acquired free in-game, purchased in the Marketplace, standalone or as part of a bundle — which includes the explosive new Missile Launcher, Grenade Pistol and more. Check Warframe.com for more detailed information.

Raising the Stakes With the Expanded Disruption Mode
As a result of the corrupt Alad V’s sale of black market technology across the Origin System, the popular Disruption Mode has spread across the Origin system. The stakes have been raised in the expanded mode newly outfitted with some of the toughest enemies and coolest rewards! More Disruption nodes are appearing in unexpected places, including the Corpus Outpost, Grineer Galleon, Grineer Settlement, Grineer Kuva Fortress, and Orokin Moon. Here are the planets: 

  • Grineer Settlement – Mars, Olympus
  • Corpus Outpost – Neptune, Laomedeia
  • Grineer Galleon – Sedna, Kelpie (Grineer)
  • Grineer Galleon – Uranus, Ur (Infested)
  • Grineer Kuva Fortress – Kuva Fortress, Tamu
  • Lua – Lua, Apollo (Corpus)

New mission types include Sorties, Syndicate Alerts and Void Fissures; and factions include Grineer, Infested and Corpus. Band together with squad members to disrupt Alad V’s foul plans!

Instant Fashion, Shawzin Around, and Harrow Deluxe
An assortment of new features, skins and collectibles have been added to round-off the update and to entice the fashion frame artist, reward the collector, and sooth the musician inside all of us. 

  • With the new Look Link and Mod Link chat features, players can generate a link to their chosen Warframe design or Mod Loadout and post it to share in chat, or import a shared design and loadout from a fellow Tenno with a simple click — radically simplifying and speeding up the ability to expand one’s Warframe “wardrobe.” 
  • Available for purchase in the Marketplace, the Harrow Deluxe Collection features a new Deluxe Skin, a matching Armor Set and Weapon Deluxe Skin for Spearguns.
  • Purchase the musically enticing Shawzin Hero Emote and become the Origin’s Systems most renowned bard. The guitar-like Shawzin instrument (available in the Marketplace) offers Tenno the chance to serenade fellow players with any song they have the skill and creativity to perform. Let it roll, Tenno!
  • Infested Dojo Decoration Set: Decorate your clan Dojo with an aesthetic inspired by the Infection faction.
  • Riven Slot Increase: Expand your arsenal of Riven Mods — players can now increase their collection of Riven Mods from 90 to 120.

Download Warframe’s new update this week on PC. Look for the console versions to within the month!
