Bringing brand-new mechanics, Steel Hunter will pit
lone wolves and Platoons against each other
August 20, 2019 — As part of World of Tanks’
two-month long Tank Festival, players will find themselves on a brand-new map
battling it out to be the last person (or Platoon) standing in Steel Hunter.
The new mode will be available from August 26 to September 16 and introduces a
slew of new game mechanics including looting, on-the-fly vehicle upgrades,
airdrops and more.
The rules are simple. A no-holds-barred battle, the sole survivor or the surviving members of a single Platoon claim the victory. Every battle will start on a level playing field as each tanker will have the choice of three special tanks, representing the classic World of Tanks nations (the USSR, the USA and Germany). Before the battle starts, each of the twenty lone wolf tankers (or seven three-player Platoons) chooses a place to spawn on Dreamland, the brand-new city map specifically designed for Steel Hunter. As the battle unfolds, the area of play progressively gets smaller and so-called Danger Zones appear.
“A fresh challenge in World of
Tanks, Steel Hunter shows we’re not done experimenting. Last year, we tested
the foundations of this mode,” states Max Chuvalov, Publishing Director, World
of Tanks. “Thanks to the overwhelmingly positive response from our players, we
decided to build on those foundations and create a fully-fledged mode that will
get players even more excited!”
The more advanced rules of “Steel Hunter” offer an immense
amount of tactical options. Damaging enemies, cannibalizing their chasses and
picking up loot will reward players with Battle XP, the most important
commodity found on Dreamland. By collecting it, tankers will be able to upgrade
their tanks on the go via a branching Tech Tree.
But Battle XP is not all that can be looted; by finding
treasures or stopping off at special stationary loot points, players can
restore their hit points or find ammo and consumables which can repair modules
or turn the tide of battle by temporarily boosting mobility or accuracy. In
addition, players will be able to take advantage of powerful abilities during
the battle. These powerplay weapons enable tankers to set smoke screens, call
airstrikes and create zones to replenish your and allies’ HP or slow down enemy
vehicles.
And over the course of the event, players will be adequately
rewarded for their tours of duty on Dreamland with a collection of decals, 2D
styles, Credits, Bonds, Medals, Emblems and days of Premium Account. So, savour
the hunting season in World of Tanks. Load up your guns and bring your
friends—it’s fun to triumph in the end!

SpringHill Entertainment Produces Star-Studded
Cinematic Narrative for the NBA 2K20 MyCAREER Mode “When the Lights Are
Brightest”
Today, 2K is sharing details of their partnership with SpringHill Entertainment – the award-winning content company created by LeBron James and Maverick Carter – which includes the production and creative control of NBA 2K20’s MyCAREER cinematic narrative: “When The Lights Are Brightest.” Known for such productions as What’s My Name: Muhammad Ali, More Than a Game and The Wall, SpringHill Entertainment collaborated with the Visual Concepts team to write, direct, and cast this year’s storyline for the fan-favourite video game mode.
“The story of ‘When The
Lights Are Brightest’ in NBA 2K20 reflects the story of
today’s modern athletes,” said Maverick Carter, CEO of SpringHill
Entertainment and athlete empowerment company UNINTERRUPTED. “From dealing
with the pressures of fame, demands on and off the court, and outside
influences, athletes face a tremendous amount of
obstacles. SpringHill Entertainment exists to tell compelling stories and
in this case, we were able to draw on our own experiences with LeBron and other
athletes to create a narrative that’s authentic and a bit of a peek behind the
curtain. Fans of NBA 2K20 are going to be amazed
at the level of detail we were able to get to in this film.”
With SpringHill
Entertainment’s focus on delving deeper into the personal story of the main
character, players of this year’s MyCAREER mode will experience an even more
authentic and emotive story.

features the storyline of an NBA prospect named Che on his quest for gold both
on and off the court, covering the importance of mentors, dealing with
off-court pressures and current social issues. In this game setting, the path
to stardom is firmly in the gamers hands.
The cinematic narrative was
directed by up-and-coming visionary Sheldon Candis, and features a star-studded
cast including Idris Elba, Rosario Dawson, and NBA all-stars past and present.
This is the most visually stunning MyCAREER cinematic experience to date and
brings the journey to life in a completely new and immersive way.
“An entire film made entirely of video game scenes has never been done in this way before,” said Alfie Brody, Vice President of Global Marketing at NBA 2K. “We decided to partner with SpringHill Entertainment because as an athlete-led production company, they authentically understand basketball culture and created a totally unique cinematic experience that encapsulates the reality facing the game’s next prospects. What we were able to accomplish in this year’s MyCAREER mode is an example of what’s ‘NEXT’ in moviemaking and in gaming.”
The full-length version of
“When The Lights Are Brightest” will be available to experience first-hand
when NBA 2K20 is released worldwide on September 6,

work together to traverse through the world.
At certain points in the game, Mono will also be able to wield a
range of items picked up from the environment – a new mechanic added to Little
Nightmares II that adds an extra layer of challenge to the game’s
puzzles and encounters with enemies. There will be times when stealth remains
the best option, sneaking past towering enemies, and times when players must
think quickly to save themselves, as well as their companion Six.
In addition to new gameplay mechanics, players will also venture
outside of The Maw (the setting of the first Little Nightmares game),
exploring new environments including a dark wilderness and facing new enemies,
such as the sadistic Teacher.
Little Nightmares II will launch in the Americas
for the PlayStation®4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PCs (Digital) in 2020.
The Little Nightmares franchise includes Little Nightmares, Little
Nightmares II and the mobile game, Very Little Nightmares,
available now for iOS.
