Devil’s Hunt Coming to PC on September 17th

1C Entertainment (Re-Legion) and Layopi Games announced major changes to the release schedule for their third person action game Devil’s Hunt. The PC version will release on schedule on September 17th via Steam. The console version of the game has been delayed until Q1 2020. There is a silver lining for gamers though. For PC gamers, the console delay means developers Layopi Games will have more time to polish the PC version. For console gamers, a Switch version of the game has just been announced. It will launch alongside the previously announced PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions.

Devil’s Hunt stars Desmond, an all-round unpleasant individual who now finds himself as humanity’s unlikely hero after making a deal with the devil. Now he’s punching his way through Heaven, Hell, and everything in between as he picks sides in the war between angels and demons.

Meet Moze the Gunner in New Borderlands 3 Trailer

2K are releasing new trailers for Borderlands 3 at a fast and furious pace as the September 13th release date draws near. Today, Moze the Gunner has her time to shine in the new trailer. Moze is co-starring with her Iron Bear Mech as she talks about the disastrous last mission she was sent on with the Vladof army. Now a freewheeling Vault Hunter, Iron Bear and Moze work closely together fighting off bandits, hungry wildlife, and anything else that dares to cross the pair. Accompanying the video is a preview of her abilities on the official Borderlands 3 blog.

We’ve met Zane and Moze, so we can expect trailers for Amara the Siren and Fl4k the Beastmaster soon.

Borderlands 3 is scheduled to launch on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC via Epic Games Store.

The First-Ever Tank Festival Kicks Off in World of Tanks

The First-Ever Tank Festival Kicks Off in World of Tanks

The two-month-long series of events will feature a brand-new mode and the return of a fan-favorite

August 2, 2019—Tank Festival, a brand-new collection of in-game events is launching to mark the 9th anniversary of World of Tanks’ release. Running for two months, Tank Festival features two more Frontline seasons, a brand-new mode Steel Hunter, the return of Tank Races, and more! It all kicks off on August 6 and runs until October 7, 2019.

Throughout the festival, players will be able to complete tasks, earn Tickets and get plenty of goodies. Also, everyone will be able to create their own special Dog Tag, which will be seen by enemies after being destroyed, and collect many unique customization elements for it. Once the collection has been completed, players will be able to use their Tickets in the Festival Shop, which offers valuable rewards previously only available during special events.

“We’ve been hard at work on Tank Festival and all its events for a long time,” states Maxim Chuvalov, Publishing Director, World of Tanks. “We’re really excited to be bringing back Tank Races, a mode that the community has been asking for, and introducing something completely different in Steel Hunter. Plus, with the sheer amount of rewards on offer, we’re sure our players are going to love Tank Festival!”

Czech Holidays (Early August)

Starting August 9 and running until August 19, the opening act of Tank Festival is a Czech-focused set of chained missions, and they will all be accomplishable for both veterans and newcomers. Players will be able to earn heaps of rewards, including Blueprints for the Czech tech tree and a unique 3D style for the first ever Tier VIII Premium Czechoslovakian tank, the Škoda T 27.

Frontline Episode 7 (Mid-August) and Frontline Episode 8 (Mid-September)

The Frontline season continues with Episodes 7 and 8 taking place during Tank Festival. For a week apiece, players can experience the 30v30 battles they love in their favorite Tier VIII machines. Taking place on 9 square kilometers, commanders are tasked with fighting off enemy attacks or breaking through enemy defenses, depending on their assignment.

The focal point of Episode 8 is the addition of a new map. Set in the suburbs of a post-WWII Central European city, it’s filled with open terrain, small towns, ruins and many more points of interest. Also with Episode 8, the most skilled and persistent players can finally add the unique AE Phase I, a Tier IX American heavy tank with four tracks, to their tank collection.  

Steel Hunter (Late August)

Players will find themselves in a mysterious Zone, which will host the most extraordinary battles ever experienced. The outcome will all be down to players’ actions as they explore the Zone, research different vehicles, play hard and fight even harder! No battle will be the same.

Tank Races (Late September)

A reworked fan-favorite returns for two weeks at the end of September! Get ready to start your engines with Tank Races.

That’s all to be revealed for the moment.

Jamestown+ Showers Colonial Mars with Bullets on Nintendo Switch and PC Q4 2019

Jamestown+ Showers Colonial Mars with Bullets on Nintendo Switch and PC Q4 2019

All Improvements Coming to PlayStation®4 in Free Update

PHILADELPHIA — Aug. 1. 2019 — Jamestown+, the beloved top-down 4-player retro shooter set on British Colonial Mars from Final Form Games, will be available on Nintendo Switch™ and PC via Steam Q4 2019. All updates and improvements will also come as a free update to the PlayStation®4 version. 

Sir Walter Raleigh has been sentenced to death in the Tower of London. In hopes of securing absolution for his “crimes” by solving the mystery of the Lost Colony of Roanoke, Raleigh flees to 17th-century British Colonial Mars. Board his Conveyance, a rocket-sled equipped with dreadful munitions, and set course for Britain’s well-known Martian colony — Jamestown. Guide Sir Raleigh on his journey to take down the deranged, power-hungry Conquistador and his armies of deadly robots and bizarre Martian warriors – and help him learn to fight for a cause bigger than himself.

Journey across Mars and its moons, Phobos and Deimos, alongside up to three friends (via couch co-op) in classic shoot ‘em up battles. Jamestown+ was carefully crafted to be accessible to anyone, with a wide variety of difficulties meticulously designed to offer engaging challenges for players of all skill levels, not just die-hard shoot ‘em up fans.  

Players only need three buttons: Fire for basic attacks, Special for powerful weapons, and Vaunt for a bullet-eating, score-amplifying shield. Enemies drop gold when defeated that charge the Vaunt meter. Learn to take advantage of the shield and send your team’s score soaring into ever-greater heights.

Coordinate attacks by choosing from 8 ships with powerful weapons, ranging from the simple, yet powerful Beam to the powerful homing missile fusillades of Treason. Tinker with three additional Armada ships to create one of 36 customizations to fend off the Martian hordes however you see fit. Unlock these ships with gold plundered from the Conquistador’s army. 

Bullets and enemies are easy to see and defend against thanks to beautifully hand-crafted retro artwork, making Jamestown+’s bullet hell action more like a bullet heaven. There’s something for everyone, including 20 unlockable challenge levels, 5 difficulties, and an emotionally-stirring orchestral score that perfectly complements the Colonists’ plight.

Jamestown is and was a heartfelt labor of love, and our vision was always that of friends or family playing together in the same room”, said Tim Ambrogi co-founder of Final Form Games. “Now PC, Switch, and PlayStation 4 players will all have the chance to experience Jamestown the way we originally intended.”

Jamestown+ comes to Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam Q4 2019. The game will be available for pre-order on the Nintendo Switch eShop for $17.99. The PlayStation 4 version will receive the same updates when the Switch and PC versions launch. For more information, please visit the official Jamestown+ website, Facebook and Twitter.

Founded by brothers Mike and Tim Ambrogi and their friend Hallie Larsson, Final Form Games is dedicated to creating passionate, high-quality games. Like the climactic bosses in classic games declaring “BEHOLD MY FINAL FORM,” the team always strives to become better versions of themselves.

‘WHERE THE BEES MAKE HONEY’ OUT SEPTEMBER 2019 ON NINTENDO SWITCH

‘WHERE THE BEES MAKE HONEY’ OUT SEPTEMBER 2019 ON NINTENDO SWITCH

Switch Edition to Join PC, PS4, and Xbox Releases with New Content Release

August 1st, 2019 — Wakefield Interactive and Whitethorn Digital are excited to announce their puzzle adventure game Where the Bees Make Honey will release on Nintendo Switch this September for an introductory price of $5.99 USD (or region equivalent) — joining the current PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC editions! Added content is in store for all four platforms as well, with a new puzzle level and other improvements in the works.

Where the Bees Make Honey tells a story about reflecting on different moments from a childhood, which are played and experienced from an adult perspective. It’s a dreamy, ethereal, and thoughtfully crafted experience about nostalgia. The game is capturing that grace period in a childhood where playing dress up was larger than life and changed the environments around you. 

At its core Where the Bees Make Honey is a puzzle adventure game, but gameplay variation is filtered throughout. When the game’s main character Sunny is an adult reflecting on the times when she was young, the game is played in a first-person perspective. This transition period takes place at her workplace, where she is ultimately at a crossroads with what to do next in her life.

Playable vignettes allow for the game to transition into each season. This allows for a more focused approach for storytelling and player engagement. The vignettes offer an additional perspective of the season they precede. The gameplay varies considerably between seasons, vignettes, and moments.

Where the Bees Make Honey is currently available on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One for $9.99.

About Wakefield Interactive

Where The Bees Makes Honey is the brainchild of Wakefield Interactive’s lone member Brian Wilson. The game was conceptualized after the recurring idea of playing pretend as kids. Through the lens of liminality, Brian wanted to capture the idea of being at one place, but being able to view it from different perspectives. This was realized after visiting a local lake over the course of his life, and understanding that the lake had stayed the same but his appreciation for it had changed as he grew older. Brian started development in early 2016 while receiving an Associate of Science degree in Multimedia Programming, Simulation and Gaming from the Community College of Allegheny County.

ROMANCE OF THE THREE KINGDOMS FRANCHISE MAKES EPIC RETURN TO PLAYSTATION®4 AND PC

ROMANCE OF THE THREE KINGDOMS FRANCHISE MAKES EPIC RETURN TO PLAYSTATION®4 AND PC

New Strategy Game Dives Deep into China’s Lore to Rewrite the History of the Three Kingdoms

Hertfordshire, 1st August 2019 – KOEI TECMO Europe is proud to announce the return of one of their most iconic franchises, as the historical strategy game Romance of The Three Kingdoms XIV is currently in development for the PlayStation®4 Computer Entertainment System and digitally on Windows PC via Steam®. 

The latest iteration of the classic tactical series is once again set during the fall of the Han Dynasty in ancient China; where battles take place in a boundary-free scramble for land. The game’s map showcases the territory captured and the thrill of expansion using a simplified colour system – paying homage to the original Romance of The Three Kingdoms XIV, released on PC back in 1985. Everything from war to diplomatic affairs will be geared toward managing and gathering land as players attempt to spread their strategies at will across the vast China map.

In addition, RTK14 will adopt the ruler-based system from RTK9 and RTK11 in order to help return classic gameplay to the series. This means that all actions – from domestic, to political, to battle – will now take place on a single map. Greater individuality among characters will also be on display; with officers from the Three Kingdoms, like Liu Bei and Guan Yu, asserting themselves at various situations in order to fully immerse players into the game’s rich history. But that’s not all, as a new Evolved Artificial Intelligence system is also being implemented to challenge players across repeated playthroughs. With organizations now determined through each ruler’s ideals, different game experiences are now possible via different rulers. Even within the same faction; different policies now bring with them different strategies for expansion, making the wise use of various officers a cornerstone of advanced gameplay.

Romance of The Three Kingdoms XIV is scheduled for a western release in early 2020. To celebrate the announcement, KOEI TECMO Europe released a fresh asset batch featuring a first look at the game, as well as a historical trailer which looks back through the years of this renowned series.
