Sydney, Australia — July 17, 2019 — Today, Ubisoft announced that Judgment of Atlantis, the final episode of the post-launch story arc of Assassin’s Creed^® Odyssey The Fate of Atlantis, is now available on the PlayStation^®4 computer entertainment system, the Xbox One family of devices including Xbox One X and Windows PC. Judgment of Atlantis concludes the episodic post-launch story arcs introduced with Legacy of the First Blade and is the final large episodic narrative installation coming to Assassin’s Creed Odyssey.

Judgment of Atlantis transports players to the legendary world of Atlantis, a gorgeous landscape of architectural progress and clear water, and a playground for Isu knowledge and power. As the last trial to master the Staff of Hermes, players must make the hardest decisions yet in a world where humans and Isu coexist. In this often unstable world, Poseidon, ruler of Atlantis, tries to maintain balance and hopes that our hero, dubbed the Dikastes, judge of Atlantis, will bring harmony to his kingdom.

Each of the episodes of The Fate of Atlantis introduced new ability enhancements related to different branches of the skill tree – Hunter, Warrior and Assassin. In this third episode, players will discover three new ability enhancements, including:

• Ares Wrath, part of the Warrior branch of the skill tree, is an enhancement to the Ring of Chaos ability. Players smash the ground with the Broken Spear to create a large area where all enemies inside slow down and take damage after a few seconds.
• Blessing of Kronos, part of the Assassin branch, is an enhancement to the Venomous Attacks ability. Player’s receive the Isu Power for a limited amount of time, giving immunity to Isu effects, such as Adrenalin Freeze and Adrenalin Drain. It also boosts the amount of Adrenalin gain and extends weapon range.
• Kronos’ Punishment, part of the Assassin branch, is an enhancement to the Call to Arms ability. Create a replica of our hero that performs a stealth attack to the target, so players can assassinate enemies without exposing themselves when there are many enemies close together.

In order to play Judgment of Atlantis, players must complete the previous episodes from The Fate of Atlantis in addition to the below:

• Following the main game, players will have to complete the questline Between Two Worlds, the mythological main game story arc and the Lost Tales of Greece questline Heir of Memories that is available after completing the former questline. Finally, they must have reached character level 28 or above.
• For players who have not completed the main game, a shortcut was developed allowing them to enter Greece level 52 with all their preset abilities and resources, so they can access Heir of Memories to start their adventure into the afterlife. However, player progression using the shortcut will not carry over to the main game save, and they will not be able to obtain achievements.

The Assassin’s Creed Odyssey post-launch plan has been the biggest and most ambitious in the franchise, and season pass owners have access to two major episodic storylines, Legacy of the First Blade and The Fate of Atlantis. The season pass also includes Assassin’s Creed^® III Remastered and Assassin’s Creed^® Liberation Remastered, which released for the PlayStation^®4 computer entertainment system, the Xbox One family of devices including Xbox One X and Windows PC. Assassin’s Creed Odyssey players will continue to access to free content including the story-focused episodic Lost tales of Greece as well as daily and weekly in-game events.

TOKYO – July 16, 2019 – gumi Inc. and Yomuneco Inc. today announced the post-launch 2019 roadmap for arena-based combat VR title SWORDS of GARGANTUA, which initially launched in June for the HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, Windows Mixed Reality and Oculus Quest.

As a result, the development has updated its roadmap to focus on the most important aspects that will help improve the game. Here is the current 2019 roadmap:

July
Better map rotation for Single player mode. Current single player maps will rotate more frequently to keep the single player arenas feel more varied.

August
New event type that is more inclusive of all players. Personal and global achievements that give players a new way to unlock current weapons as well as future weapons.

Autumn / Fall
Currently in the planning, a new mode code named Adventure Mode (placeholder name). This mode (for both single and multiplayer) will give players the experience of regular game play in a new rogue-lite scenario. The goal of this mode is to give players a more varied challenge per stage. More details about this mode as we move forward.

Winter
Adding more helmets and body armor of users to choose from as well as color options to give players more individuality when fighting with friends!

New Game Video Highlights the Story of How the Apollo 11 Mission Inspired Two Brothers to Reach for the Stars through their Love of Games

Watford, UK – July 16, 2019 –– Award-winning publisher, Wired Productions and acclaimed Dutch game studio, KeokeN Interactive, have today released a developer video for Deliver us the Moon. The video highlights new gameplay from the upcoming Sci-Fi thriller along with narration from Koen Deetman, Game Director, explaining how he and his brother, Managing Director Paul Deetman, knew from an early age that their future was destined to involve space!

Currently in development for Steam, PlayStation® 4 and the Xbox One family of devices, including the Xbox One X, the team at KeokeN wanted to celebrate the heroic mission of the men and women who took part in Apollo 11’s journey to the Moon.  Inspired by their Grandpa’s stories the developers set about creating something that captured everything they used to dream about. Set 100 years after the first human-made object reached the surface of the Moon, Deliver Us The Moon even pays homage to the original moon landing, with the original moon lander and US flag recreated for players to visit!

“It’s unimaginable to think about how much bravery it takes to leave our home-planet and set foot on another celestial body.’ Said Koen Deetman. “My brother and I have always asked the question ‘What would it be like being an Astronaut’, and Deliver us the Moon was our way of living out our childhood dreams.”

Deliver Us The Moon is a Sci-Fi thriller set in an apocalyptic near future where Earth’s natural resources are depleted. In an effort to solve the energy crisis, global powers created the World Space Agency and secured a promising new source of energy on the moon. The World Space Agency colonized and operated from the moon until one fateful night all communications with Earth ceased and the energy source was lost. Now, years later, you assume the role of Earth’s last astronaut on a do-or-die mission to investigate what happened and save humanity. During this adventure, players only companion is a small robot named ASE. Together you will traverse the moon, explore abandoned facilities, gather clues and ultimately uncover the secrets and hidden agendas of those long gone!

Deliver us the Moon is scheduled for release later this year. Wired Productions will share more details in the coming months.

The Intergalactic Bounty Hunt Begins as Futuristic Co-Op Action RPG Killsquad Launches on Steam Early Access

Team up with mercenaries for loot and galactic kudos in Novarama’s sci-fi space western available today

Barcelona, Spain — July 16th, 2019 — Independent developer Novarama today announced that the anticipated co-op action RPG, Killsquad,  is now available for PC on Steam Early Access for $19.99 / €19.99 / £16.99. Killsquad is a top-down co-op action RPG set within the futuristic world of bounty hunters known as ‘killsquads’, who take on contracts and raid planets for loot and glory. 

Killsquad made a huge splash at E3 2019, appearing at the eSports stage and receiving several award nominations such as “Most Engaging” by Unreal, “Best of E3” by COGConnected and “Best of E3” by RPGFan.  “Killsquad is a culmination of various ideas we wanted to see in a video game, but also one that delivered the necessary pace of a high octane action game with a combination of progression and customization that players would expect from an action RPG,” said Game Director Dani Sanchez-Crespo. “We’re looking forward to getting players’ feedback and expanding the Killsquad universe with the introduction of more content later this year. See you in The Outer Reach, bounty hunters!” 

Killsquad’s quick session-based gameplay means action is fast and intense as players overcome various obstacles in the course of their mission and quest for that big payday. Players can select one of four different heroes to play, each of which has their own distinct capabilities based on their class: Assassin, Warrior, Specialist or Support. These classes have plenty of skill and upgradeable gear options to completely customize the chosen character down to its appearance.

Killsquad introduces a live contract system which players can undertake in real time with other hunters. These contracts allow other players in the Killsquad community to drop in and ride shotgun, enjoying the same experience and grabbing a share of the mission’s rewards. The contract system presents a myriad of challenges and deadly adversaries from automated defence systems to meteor showers and boss characters. The hunt is not without its dangers as players navigate the exotic, richly detailed environments of each planet in search of their quarry. 

Killsquad will be continually updated with much more content planned for the game later this year including additional heroes and mission types. Novarama will also confirm more details on console versions for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
