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
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.
Formed in 2005 as a
humble independent developer founded by gamers who found success in the video

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

Expand your arsenal of Riven Mods — players can now increase their
collection of Riven Mods from 90 to 120.
