Winter Fury: Longest Road Forays into Steam Early Access Today

DALLAS — May 30, 2019 — Winter Fury: Longest Road, the VR tank action and first-person shooter from former Activision and THQ veteran developers at SpiderMonk Entertainment and publisher 10th Reality, blasts its way onto Steam Early Access on Vive and Oculus Rift today.

The Germans are mounting a Blitzkrieg on the Allied war front as it advances into rural Germany. Survive in enemy territory with a classified, experimental M-4 Sherman tank as its battle-hardened commander. Push back the line with American steel and devastating destructive power.

Rip open enemy bases with cannon shells or dish out .50 caliber machine gun fire on anything standing in the way. Pilot the tank from a third-person perspective or open the hatch to enter first-person gun battles.

Take to the field and wield everything from pistols, rifles and machine guns to a deadly sniper rifle. Zoom in with the sniper rifle and the UI changes so the whole headset becomes the sights, making accurate aiming intuitive and interactive. With heavy machine guns, grenades and more unlockable weapons even heavily armored bosses will not stand a chance.

Tiger tanks, weaponized steam trains, and Messerschmitt Bf 109 fighter planes promise explosive and challenging battles. The Germans will do anything to stop the Allies’ advance, including deploying destroyers down the coast. Experience brutal cannon fire and destructive close-quarters combat up close and personal in action-packed missions.

“VR is the perfect platform for epic WW2 tank action,” said Scott March, founder of SpiderMonk Entertainment. “There are deadly enemies waiting to take out the Sherman tank, but they aren’t prepared to deal with the destructive force of the Allies’ latest weapon.”

Winter Fury: Longest Road is available in English on Steam Early Access for $19.99 today and will be compatible with HTC Vive and Oculus Rift.

CALL OF DUTY: MODERN WARFARE DEPLOYS OCTOBER 25^TH 

One of the Most Iconic Series in Gaming History Returns in Ground-Breaking Experience

SANTA MONICA, Calif. – May 30, 2019 – Prepare to go dark, Modern Warfare is back! The most celebrated series in Call of Duty will make its highly-anticipated return when Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® launches October 25^th in a powerful experience reimagined from the ground-up. The all-new title, published by Activision and developed by Infinity Ward, engulfs players in a modern-day conflict, where split-second decisions could affect the global balance of power. The new Modern Warfare features a unified narrative experience and progression across a heart racing, epic single-player story, an action-packed multiplayer playground, and new cooperative gameplay.

“This is an all-new Modern Warfare reimagined in every way,” said Dave Stohl, co-Studio Head, Infinity Ward. “We are creating an emotionally charged experience that’s inspired by the headlines in the world today, where the rules are grey and battle lines are blurred. Players will join a varied cast of international special forces and freedom fighters in gripping and heart-pounding missions through iconic European cities and volatile expanses of the Middle East. It’s intense, it’s exciting, and we can’t wait for our fans to play this October.”

“Every design decision has been made with our players in mind,” said Patrick Kelly, Creative Director and co-Studio Head, Infinity Ward. “With the launch of Modern Warfare, we’re taking steps to unite the community. First, we plan for Modern Warfare to be played together across PC and console through cross-play support. Second, we’re eliminating the traditional season pass, so that we can deliver more free maps and content as well as post-launch events to all players. This is just the beginning – there’s much more to come.”

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare features a new engine delivering an immersive and photo-realistic experience. The new technology utilizes the latest advancements in visual engineering, including a physically-based material system allowing for state of the art photogrammetry, a new hybrid tile based streaming system, new PBR decal rendering system, world volumetric lighting, 4K HDR, DirectX Raytracing (PC) and more as well as a new GPU geometry pipeline. Spectral rendering delivers thermal heat radiation and infrared identification for both thermal and night-vision in-game imaging. The technical investment provides a cutting edge animation and blend shape system, while the new suite of audio tools supports full Dolby ATMOS, on supported platforms, along with the latest in audio simulation effects.

Starting today, fans can pre-order the digital version of the new Modern Warfare and receive a prestige token to be used immediately in-game in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4*.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is scheduled for release globally October 25^th on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. The title features a fully-optimized PC version, developed in partnership with Beenox, which will be available exclusively on Blizzard Battle.net^®**, Blizzard Entertainment’s online gaming platform. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is published by Activision, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Activision Blizzard (NASDAQ: ATVI) with development led by award-winning developer, Infinity Ward, with additional development support from Raven Software.

Winner of numerous awards and honors following its release in 2007, including the Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences “Game of the Year,” the original Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare received worldwide acclaim as it won the hearts of fans everywhere. With the two sequels that followed, the Modern Warfare series has left an indelible mark as one of the most iconic and decorated gaming series in history.

Deathgarden™: BLOODHARVEST Redesigned and Rebuilt from the Ground Up, Now Available on Steam

Developer Behaviour Interactive Unveils One Year of Behind-the-Scenes Work on Multiplayer Survival Action Title and the Terminator™ T-800 Endoskeleton Hunter

MONTREAL, QUÉBEC – May 30, 2019 – Independent video game developer Behaviour Interactive (Dead by Daylight) announced today the relaunch of its multiplayer survival action title Deathgarden. Retitled to reflect nearly one year of behind-the-scenes work redesigning and rebuilding the title from the ground up, Deathgarden™: BLOODHARVEST finds players in a dark and divided future. Only those deemed worthy are granted entrance to the Enclave, an opulent safe haven, while the rest are damned to almost certain death in the slums. The only gateway between these two worlds is The Bloodharvest, a twisted trial of violence that takes place in arenas known as Deathgardens.

Hunters enter the Bloodharvest willingly, yearning to ruthlessly kill scavengers to rise through the social ranks of the Enclave’s society. For scavengers, entering the Deathgarden is their only chance to escape a life of disease and despair by proving themselves worthy.

These sweeping changes to the game’s setting and lore are matched with a new approach to design, gameplay, and progression as well as newly added features, including:

Focus on Power-up Progression

• Five brand-new scavengers and three new hunter characters, each with their own unique loadouts, progression, and background story
• All playstyles are viable as every in-game action now rewards XP and resources
• Progression designed to encourage and reward trying out different playstyles

Frantic Brutal Gameplay

• Track and gun down scavengers in first-person as a ruthless hunter. Scavenge for blood and escape in third-person with fast-paced parkour and stealth abilities as a scavenger
• Five scavengers vying to survive while stalked by an unstoppable hunter
• A procedural map system, featuring four new Deathgardens that challenges players to adapt to an ever-changing environment

To celebrate this renewed Early Access launch on Steam, Behaviour Interactive is excited to announce a limited time, two-for-one sale for Deathgarden: BLOODHARVEST at $9.99 USD for one week only before the game returns to its new permanent price of $14.99 USD. Players are also encouraged to take advantage of a Steam Free Weekend offer for Deathgarden: BLOODHARVEST starting today May 30, running through June 2, 2019.

New players and early adopters alike can also look forward to the Terminator T-800 Endoskeleton cosmetic set for the hunter. Starting today, players can purchase this cosmetic set to enter the garden as a legendary and unstoppable T-800 including the complete character model and an exclusive weapon skin. For more details, please visit the official product page on Steam.

Players who purchased the original Deathgarden ahead of today’s Deathgarden: BLOODHARVEST launch will receive two Legacy Cosmetics, a VIP flair, and a transfer of all earned exclusive cosmetics with a bonus currency pack based on their original Deathgarden player level.

Want to keep up with the latest from the Deathgarden: BLOODHARVEST team? Join the developers on Twitch today on May 30 from 1:30pm – 2:30pm EST.
