JUST CAUSE 4: DANGER RISING ANNOUNCED

The Agency Arrives With Rico in Their Sights

SYDNEY, 9^th August 2019 – The past comes back to haunt Rico in the all-new Danger Rising DLC for JUST CAUSE 4, releasing August 29^th, 2019, on XBOX ONE®, the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system and Windows PC.

Armed with a new prototype Hoverboard, Rico vows to take down the Agency after learning of their plans to eliminate him. Tom Sheldon joins Rico on his mission and the pair begin by investigating a large submarine, which has surfaced ominously off the coast of Solis. Could Rico be out of his depth against The Agency?

The odds are mounting and the hunter is about to become the hunted…

JUST CAUSE 4 changes forever with the arrival of Danger Rising and the all-new Hoverboard. Speed across the surface of the ocean, grind along rails and kickflip over exploding helicopters. Discover the evolution to JUST CAUSE 4’s already best-in-class suite of traversal options and leave awesome destruction in your wake as you take the fight to Rico’s old employers with more speed and style than ever, across new missions that that will test all of Rico’s skills & abilities.

The Agency is back, and brings the full force of their advanced tech and highly trained Agents to bear in their hunt for Rico and Sheldon. Agents grapple across the terrain, just like Rico, and attack from all angles, wielding hard-hitting weaponry unlike anything seen in JUST CAUSE 4 before. 

Danger Rising adds 8 new missions, the game-changing Hoverboard, and multiple exciting new weapons & vehicles to the crazy JUST CAUSE 4 sandbox world. Blast enemies with the ultra-powerful Sequoia 370 Mag-Slug, bend the laws of gravity with the Stormalong Em Zero magnesis rifle, or deploy your very own remote controlled drone with the Yellowstone Auto Sniper Rifle.

Danger Rising gives players an amazing package of awesome new tools of destruction you can employ in any mission, or in the open-world sandbox of JUST CAUSE 4, for explosive new action packed moments of glorious mayhem.

“Danger Rising is the third DLC pack in the ‘Dare Devils, Demons and Danger’ Expansion Pass, and it brings a great new story, tough enemies that can grapple, just like Rico, and a new element that we are really excited about, the Hoverboard.” said Victoria Setian, Senior Producer at Avalanche Studios. “This is a true game changer. JUST CAUSE 4 already had some of the best traversal mechanics around, but the Hoverboard ties everything together and gives players the smoothest, most dynamic movement system in any action game!”

You can read more about the improvements to JUST CAUSE 4 on the Developer Blog: https://square-enix-games.com/en_GB/topic/jc4-dev-updates

Gold Edition purchasers will receive 7 days early access to the JUST CAUSE 4 Danger Rising DLC. Gold access begins on August 29^th, 2019.

SYDNEY – 9 Aug., 2019 – Subdivision Infinity DX, the immersive, pulse-pounding sci-fi 3D space shooter from developer Mistfly Games and publisher Blowfish Studios, comes in for landing today on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Windows PC.

Jed Riddle is contracted to investigate a mining facility that has ceased all communications with the colonies, inexplicably going dark.

Regardless of the situation, combat in Subdivision Infinity DX is exhilarating and lightning-fast, paying homage to classic sci-fi shooters but with modern inspiration from stylish space sims.

Outside the main storyline, explorers can travel around the distant reaches of the galaxy to hunt bounties and mine asteroids for rare materials. The profits can then be used in trade at the nearest space port to kit out Riddle’s ship or even add powerful new vessels to his collection.

“Subdivision Infinity DX is a bold step for the next generation of deep-space shooters,” said Ben Lee, founder, Blowfish Studios. “The team at Mistfly grew up devouring everything the genre has to offer. From arcade classics to contemporary titles, they have put that knowledge to great use, creating something special we’re proud to share with console and PC players today.”

PUBG MOBILE LITE LAUNCHES IN MULTIPLE REGIONS

The faster and lighter version of the blockbuster hit offers 490 MB download size and supports more mobile devices with less than 2GB RAM

LOS ANGELES – Aug. 8, 2019 – Developed by Tencent Games and PUBG Corp., a lighter and faster variant of PUBG MOBILE called PUBG MOBILE LITE has officially launched today. The new version of the hit battle royale game is available to download and play on the Google Play Store in several regions of Southeast Asia, South Asia, North Africa and South America. PUBG MOBILE LITE has received positive response from audiences since the launch, boasting outstanding performance.

After the swift rise in popularity of the blockbuster PUBG MOBILE, the developers have designed PUBG MOBILE LITE to be compatible with a wider range of devices. With the core idea of being able to play anytime, anywhere and on any device, the developers have launched this version optimized for more smartphone devices with a lower RAM, to offer an uncompromised gameplay experience to all its fans around the world. PUBG MOBILE LITE will be available in more regions of Europe, North and Central America soon.

Built with Unreal Engine 4, this version of PUBG MOBILE is compatible with even more devices and optimized for devices with less RAM without compromising the gameplay experience that has attracted millions of fans around the world. PUBG MOBILE LITE features a smaller map made for 60 players, delivering faster-paced games that last 10 minutes while keeping the traditional PUBG MOBILE style of play. With an installation pack of just 490 MB and built for devices having less than 2 GB RAM, PUBG MOBILE LITE is set to run smoothly for all players. New players joining in will be eligible for various rewards, in the form of new gears and vehicles.

Key features on PUBG MOBILE LITE:

• Enhanced Aim Assist: An all-new auxiliary aim assist makes aiming simpler while playing in weak network environments. The intensity differs between the crawling and standing positions, simplifying the control while preserving the unique PUBG MOBILE experience;
• Upgrade to Winner Pass: The Winner Pass replaces the Royale Pass and will have much faster achievement unlocks and span a month, with fantastic rewards on offer;
• Bullet Trail Adjustment: PUBG MOBILE LITE will feature increased bullet speed and no bullet drop effect, for a clearer shot which is specially made to account for weak network environments;
• Weapon Recoil Suppression: The adherence mechanism also suppresses the weapon recoil to a certain amount, which facilitates game-control and makes for a better experience in weak networks. Different guns have different gun pressure effects, highlighting the different experience of each weapon;
• Extended Time to Kill: The update will also appropriately increase the ‘Time to Kill’ which would enhance players survivability during firefights and encouraging aggressive play;
• Location Display: The map will expose a shooter within the mini-map’s range, providing simplified battle info extraction and increased battle speed;
• Heal while Moving: Players will now be able to heal themselves in all stances, except when they are prone. This is particularly useful in high latency conditions where movement actions might inhibit the healing mechanic in game. This will help speed up the game pace and increase survivability;
• Building Areas/Supplies optimization: Building density and loot frequency has been increased to expedite the looting process and enhance the battle progression;
• Map Quality Optimization: The game will also feature optimized map quality and the parachute loading screen;
• RPG and New Firearm integration: With PUBG MOBILE LITE, players will now get to experience a new weapon in select game modes only, allowing a chance to form new attack and defense tactics.

About PUBG MOBILE LITE

PUBG MOBILE LITE is developed by Tencent Games and PUBG Corp. following the success of PUBG MOBILE and is based on PLAYERUNKNOWN’S BATTLEGROUNDS, the original PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 gaming phenomenon that took the world of interactive entertainment by storm in 2017. Up to 60 players parachute onto a remote island to do battle in a winner-takes-all showdown. Players must locate and scavenge their own weapons, vehicles and supplies, and defeat every player in a visually and tactically rich battleground that forces players into a shrinking play zone.

Gamedec is an adaptive, cyberpunk RPG game from Anshar Studios. This brand new project is based around a private detective who solves crimes committed in virtual game worlds. The title will debut in 2020.  

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – August 8th, Katowice, Poland.
 It’s Warsaw City in the 22nd century, and thanks to the existence of virtual worlds, “reality” is a relative concept, and “life” and “death” have many meanings. New worlds, however, give rise to new problems. Desire, jealousy, greed, and lust for power are ever present. Many things have changed, but human nature is not one of them. That’s why society in the 22nd century needs Gamedecs – detectives who handle frauds, crimes, and conspiracies committed in virtual worlds. Child slavery in F2P games, the suicide of a professional player – cases like that are what they deal with on a daily basis. In the new Anshar Studios game, the player becomes one of these detectives.

You can already add the game to your Steam Wishlist (https://store.steampowered.com/app/917720/Gamedec/), not to miss any updates on its ongoing development.

A special, early version of the game will be premiered at Gamescom, while at PAX West in Seattle, a game demo will be made available to guests of the event. And if you’re heading to Cologne and would like to check out a hands-off demo at Gamescom, you’ll be able to meet the developers in the Business Area, Hall 4.1, Booth A-071G (Indie Games Poland). However, advance bookings are required, so please use our booking app available under the following link: https://events.pr-outreach.com/ to save your slot. Pick up a game, click “Book a meeting”, type your e-mail address and follow further instructions on the screen. A confirmation e-mail with all the details will be sent your way, once your done.

In Gamedec, decisions are important, and the game world constantly adapts to them and to the hero, who changes as the story progresses. The consequences of choices made, like in “real” life, can be immediate, long-term, or hidden – the latter most often surfacing at unexpected moments. Regardless of the decisions made, however, the game always remains neutral towards them. It’s up to the player to evaluate them, bearing in mind the saying “you are the sum of your choices.”

The studio’s new game returns to the foundations of the RPG genre by adding Deduction, Codex, and Aspects mechanics to allow for complex discussions, as the players create or expose networks of intrigues and conspiracies, while discovering unusual relationships between virtual worlds. Gamedec’s paper-based RPG mechanics give players the freedom to approach things from multiple perspectives, rather than finding a single solution – the choice is ultimately theirs.

Gamedec is currently under development. The game is planned to be released in 2020. 

More information about the game can be found on the game’s official website.
