TOM CLANCY’S RAINBOW SIX^® SIEGE REVEALS OPERATION PHANTOM SIGHT

Rediscover the reworked Kafe Dostoyevsky map alongside two new eye-opening Operators in Year 4 Season 2

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA — May 20^th, 2019 — Today, Ubisoft announced the full details of the second season of Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six^® Siege Year 4 content. Operation Phantom Sight introduces an all-new Attacker and a Defender, Nøkk and Warden respectively, as well as a major map rework of Kafe Dostoyevsky, the high-class locale situated at the heart of Moscow. Furthermore, in Year 4 Season 2, Rainbow Six Siege will introduce new changes to the recently implemented feature, Reverse Friendly Fire, as well as updates to the Rainbow Six Siege storefront and the Ranked playlist.

In this new season, Nøkk and Warden will redefine how intel is gathered as the newest additions to the Rainbow Six Siege Operator line-up. Armed with her FMG-9 submachine gun and SIX12-SD shotgun, Nøkk uses her high-tech HEL Presence Reduction gadget to quietly navigate behind enemy lines, invisible to cameras and drones alike. In the meantime, Warden uses his Glance Smartglasses to enhance his vision, providing him with better visibility in smoke as well as immunity to flashes while remaining still. His M590A1 shotgun and MPX submachine gun makes him a powerful anchor and entry denier in defense.

In addition to these two new Rainbow recruits, players will be able to explore the map rework of Kafe Dostoyevsky, which incorporates significant changes to the current map in order to open up and diversify gameplay: the first floor has been redesigned, new Bomb sites appear on the second floor, alongside many other updates improving replayability and gameplay opportunities. Other features that will be introduced in the upcoming season include further updates to Reverse Friendly Fire based on data and community feedback, a reworked Ranked playlist and a new in-game storefront.

Winter Fury: Longest Road Rains Virtual Reality Bullets onto Steam Early Access May 30

DALLAS — May 16, 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, unloads magazines of ammo at Nazis on Steam Early Access on Vive and Oculus Rift May 30.

A Blitzkrieg, a horrifying parade of destructive machinery, approaches the Allied front. The Allies’ sole chance at surviving the devastating onslaught is a soldier with a classified, experimental M-4 Sherman tank. Turn the tide of war with a combination of steel resolve and good ol’ American ingenuity.

The M-4 can take a pounding, but packs a wallop. Bust bunkers with cannon shells or take out foot soldiers with a .50 caliber machine gun to take back the battlefield. Wield motion controllers either seated or standing and pilot the tank from a third-person perspective, or go on foot for first-person gun battles.

Hop out of the tank and fight for freedom with rifles, machine guns and handguns. Scope in with the sniper rifle and the UI shifts so the whole headset shows the sights, making for an intuitive aiming experience unlike any other. Mountable heavy machine guns, grenades and more unlockable weapons prove invaluable when fighting paratroopers to well-armed bosses.

Battle for survival against intimidating bosses like Tiger tanks, Steam Trains, and Messerschmitt Bf 109 fighter aircraft. From close-quarter combat in concrete bunkers to sinking a destroyer with cannon fire, each mission offers awe-inspiring set pieces.

“Winter Fury combines unparalleled VR tank-fighting action with advanced foot soldier warfare,” said Scott March, founder of Spidermonk Entertainment. “We wanted to bring an authentic World War 2 action game and virtual reality is the perfect platform.”

Winter Fury: Longest Road will be available in English on Steam Early Access for $19.99 May 30 and will be compatible with HTC Vive and Oculus Rift.
