Bowl Down Bases While Protecting
Your Own in this Hilarious Blend of Action and Strategy
Walnut Creek, Calif. – December 18, 2019 – Independent games publisher Modus Games along with developers ACE Team and Giant Monkey Robot today announced that Rock of Ages 3: Make & Break’s chaotically creative fans can barrel into the game’s Closed Alpha on Steam starting January 10, 2020. The Closed Alpha will mark the first chance for players to enjoy this distinctive blend of strategy and destruction ahead of its early 2020 launch on PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, PC, and Xbox One.
Sign up for the Rock of Ages 3: Make & Break Closed Alpha here:www.RockofAges3.com.
By signing up at www.RockOfAges3.com and joining the Closed Alpha on Steam, gamers will earn a bonus ‘Retro Boulder’ and a Guinea Pig Banner to display in-game. Their pace should match that of Rock of Ages 3: Make & Break’s hurtling stones: sign-ups will be honored on a first-come, first-served basis when the Closed Alpha on Steam runs from January 10 to January 13 and is the first public chance for hors d’oeuvre of cheese wheel-rolling, arcade-style action and strategic tower defense. Thankfully, a visual feast is available for everyone today, as a new video gives a more in-depth look at what’s possible with the brand new ‘Create’ mode.
Rock of Ages 3: Make & Break will mark a first in the smash hit series by allowing players to shape their wildest ideas into custom stages and share them across the game’s community. Intuitive, deep creation tools provide ample opportunities for up to four friends to create exciting challenges for local and online multiplayer, making Rock of Ages 3: Make & Break a boulder-sized experience.
Featuring an inventive retelling of history flush with Monty Python-esque humor, Rock of Ages 3: Make & Break cleverly tumbles through pivotal moments of humanity while adding a few eccentricities along the way. Historical figures like Caesar are as likely to show up as the fearsome Krampus or Flying Spaghetti Monster, making for a tale as imaginative as it is unforgettable.

PC Players from Over 60 Countries Eligible to Compete in The Game Awards Best Multiplayer Game of 2019
Australia, 18 Dec – Today, Electronic Arts Inc., (NASDAQ: EA) and Respawn Entertainment announced the Apex Legends Global Series. The series is comprised of online and live events for PC players who will compete for a prize purse of more than $3 million. The Apex Legends Global Series will initially feature 12 global live events, either self-executed by EA and Respawn or produced by notable esports tournament organisers PGL and GLL. Online competition will be powered by Battlefy with registration for the first event opening in early January.
“Competition is at the heart of Apex Legends,” said Vince Zampella, Head of Respawn Entertainment. “We expect that esports will play a big role in the future of ApexLegends and it all starts here, with the Apex Legends Global Series. We look forward to seeing who, out of our millions of players, will become true legends of the arena.”
The Apex Legends Global Series is an inclusive, open ecosystem created to make stars of all players. Residents of one of the more than 60 eligible countries who meet minimum age, PC system requirements, and other eligibility requirements can compete.* The competitive journey for many will start with online competition, with competitors potentially advancing to live, regional Challenger Events and global Premier Events. Players will earn Apex Legends Global Series Points for their performances in online and certain live events and those atop the standings will be invited to the four Apex Legends Global Series Majors, the highest competitive live event tier.
“Apex Legends is one of the most impactful launches in videogame history and it possesses immense esports potential,” said John Nelson, Apex Legends Competitive Gaming Commissioner. “Through close communication with our community, we’ve built an accessible Apex Legends ecosystem where any player can become a potential star while the world watches our unique, entertaining take on Battle Royale esports.” The first three Majors will each feature 100 three-player squads from around the world. The fourth Major, the Apex Legends Global Series Championship, is the grand finale. Only the top 60 Apex Legends Global Series teams in the world will be invited to battle for $1 million in prizes and the title of Apex Legends Global Series World Champion.
All four Majors will feature the Apex Legends exclusive Match Point format, which debuted at the Apex Legends Preseason Invitational in September to positive reception. Match Point requires teams in the Finals to reach a points threshold through a combination of match placement and accumulated kills. Apex Legends is the only Battle Royale esport to feature this uniquely exciting end game mechanic.
The first Apex Legends Global Series competition is an Online Tournament taking place on January 25, 2020. Registration will open for the event in early January.

Developed by Respawn Entertainment, Apex Legends delivers a squad-based Battle Royale experience where players select from one of 11 Legends – each with their own unique abilities and playstyles – and the last team standing wins. Combatants can choose from unique characters like Bloodhound, the tracker who can see recent enemy activity on the map, or Lifeline, a battlefield medic who can shield teammates and bring them back from the brink of death. Balanced squads and teamwork are critical, as each Legend is easy to pick up and learn, but challenging to master.
