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.

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.
