EMBARK ON A NORSE MYTHOLOGY-INSPIRED JOURNEY WITH LAUNCH OF PHANTOMGATE: THE LAST VALKYRIE

Original Theme Song and Music Video Produced by Internet Sensation Kurt Hugo Schneider and Recording Artist Macy Kate

LOS ANGELES – SEPTEMBER 19, 2018 – Netmarble Corp., the fastest-growing mobile game company worldwide has launched Phantomgate: The Last Valkyrie, an all-new original free-to-play mobile adventure role-playing game (RPG) inspired by the rich tradition of Norse mythology, and is now available for download on iOS and Android mobile devices.

To celebrate the launch of Netmarble’s latest title, the company partnered with famed music producer Kurt Hugo Schneider and solo recording artist Macy Kate to create an all-new music video utilizing Phantomgate’s theme song. In addition, an instrumental rendition of the game’s theme composed by popular violinist Taylor Davis will be added to the game via an update at a later date. Fans can check out both music videos below:

“It was a fun challenge to take the rich visuals of Phantomgate and translate them into a musical experience,” said Schneider. “I hope both players and music fans will enjoy this track!”

Phantomgate is inspired by the rich tradition of Nordic myth as players follow Astrid, a courageous, young Valkyrie who is on a journey to save her mother from the clutches of the mad god Odin after defying the gods to protect Astrid from capture. Astrid must overcome danger and hardship by navigating the land of Midgard, partner with four unique heroes during her journey and purify enemy monsters known as Phantoms to join her party – all in a grand effort to reunite with her mother.

At launch, players can look forward to a mix of side-scrolling adventures with a unique twist of classic turn-based RPG combat with real-time Player-vs-Player (PVP) features, all threaded together with an engaging story that takes Astrid across Midgard with beautiful platforming levels featuring console-quality graphics, challenging puzzles and more. There are also over 300 unique Phantoms that players can discover, fight, collect and evolve to tackle specific missions in Astrid’s journey.

Other key features for Phantomgate include:

• Turn-Based Combat Buffs and Debuffs – During battles in Phantomgate, bubbles with upgrade and downgrade effects spawn randomly for players to tap and drag to appropriate characters on the screen. Effects can include attack increases, defense decreases and more.
• Real-Time PVP System – Phantomgate utilizes real-time synchronization to deliver intense combat between players thanks to strategic use of the buffs and debuffs which appear during battle and can be used by either player.  Bubble Combat system.
• Phantom Evolution System – As players explore Midgard and evolve their Phantoms, they will have a choice in how they steer their companion’s advanced evolutions. By choosing to evolve with specific items, players will have a number of alternate Phantom evolutions to choose from – all with different looks, elements and abilities to utilize.

“As an all-new IP, the Phantomgate team aimed to provide players an enjoyable story with relatable characters enhanced by some of the best in-game graphics found on mobile devices along with the deep gameplay mechanics fans are used to seeing in Netmarble games. We’re excited to bring Astrid’s journey to life and look forward to supporting her – and the player’s journey – with future updates to the game,” said Jung-ho Lee, Division Director of Netmarble.

Starting today, Phantomgate’s first in-game event – Find the Hidden Easter Eggs! – is available for players to complete until its closure on Oct. 17. Details on the event are below:

• To participate, players can find in-game hints by completing missions as they play. After discovering these hints and finding the Easter Egg, players can add to their score and increase their event rank.
• Players can also increase their score and rank by inviting their friends to play Phantomgate with a special friend code. Rewards can also be earned by logging into the game every day

DEAD OR ALIVE 6 BOLSTERS LINE-UP OF FAN FAVOURITES

Four Returning Fighters and a Pre-Historic New Stage on Display at the 2018 Tokyo Game Show

Hertfordshire, 20^th September 2018 – Fresh off its highly-anticipated announcement of DEAD OR ALIVE 6’s 15th February 2019 release date, KOEI TECMO Europe revealed today plans to introduce four returning characters and a brand-new stage at this year’s Tokyo Game Show, which takes place from the 20^th until the 23^rd September.

The first fighter returning to the fray is Ayane. Ordered to hunt down her half-sister, Kasumi, Ayane’s Mugen Tenshin Hajinmon style of Ninjutsu is as fierce as it gets. Dubbed “The Killer Kunoichi,” Ayane’s ever-changing moves are polished to the point that her opponents have a hard time seeing what is coming next. Forced to live in the shadows, she attempts to fight through her conflicted feelings toward her half-sister, while also fighting her way to the top of the tournament.

The second combatant marking her return is Swedish martial artist, Marie Rose. Marie, known as “The Wicked Lil’ Servant,” boasts a Russian military style emphasizing constant fluidity of movement, enabling the fighter to utilize her small frame to her advantage, outmanoeuvring enemies with a variety of tricky moves while turning her opponent’s attacks against them.

Next up is the “Super-Secret Fighter Chick” known as Honoka. This 18-year-old fan of professional wrestling and martial arts movies invented her own fighting style known as Honoka Fu; an art where she combines her favourite moves from fighters she has observed. While in her Hissatsu-no-Kamae stance, she is imbued with unbelievable strength, making her capable of delivering attacks the likes even she has never seen before as her right hand emits a mysterious glow.

The final fighter re-entering the arena is former professional assassin, Bayman. Known as “The Man Who Overcame Death,” Bayman stands inside the ring with the same kind of cold-hearted professionalism that made him such a successful mercenary thanks to his devastatingly-dangerous skills in Combat Sambo.

Also making its debut in Tokyo will be the new stage entitled “LOST PARADISE.” The magnificent jungle is mixed with the decaying remains of man-made constructions, with some surprising secrets popping out of all corners. Collide with the extremely large eggs and you will not only disturb whatever’s inside, but also alert their mother – a giant Pteranodon who will swoop in for the attack. But that’s not the only danger lurking, as the fence separating the fighters from the jungle is sparked with electricity. Fall to the bottom level and a Tyrannosaurus awaits, ready to rip into anyone within biting distance.

DEAD OR ALIVE 6 is currently in development for the PlayStation®4 Computer Entertainment System, the Xbox One family of devices including the Xbox One X, the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft, and digitally on Windows PC via Steam®. Pre-orders across all systems are now underway.

World of Warships Blitz and World of Tanks Blitz Celebrate Tokyo Game Show with Japanese Content

The first line of Japanese destroyers hit the high seas and a brand-new Valkyria Chronicles-inspired tank joins the battle

September 20, 2018 — With Tokyo Game Show kicking off today, both World of Warships Blitz and World of Tanks Blitz have a collection of new content coming. The former welcomes the Japanese destroyers and more to the port, while the latter, together with SEGA’s Valkyria Chronicles 4, launches the fourth tank from the universe.

World of Warships Blitz Expands Japanese Line

The latest update to World of Warships Blitz features 4 new Japanese destroyers that focus on stealthy attacks backed with tremendous firepower meaning those who want to play a bit more sneakily are perfectly suited to these new vessels.

Along with this update, a never-before-seen ship is ready to hit the high seas. The Japanese Battleship, Ise is new to the entire World of Warships universe and is a unique hybrid ship: part carrier, part battleship. This Tier VII fusion is a battleship with bomber plane squadrons that provide versatile gameplay. The Ise has a high health pool for its tier and carries big caliber weaponry in its arsenal. She is best suited for combat at mid- to long-range against thinly armored targets such as cruisers and destroyers.

Lastly, a new port is available to those with Tier VI or higher Japanese ships. This port, named Zipangu, will put you in the Land of the Rising Sun with the iconic and stunning Mount Fuji in the backdrop.

World of Warships Blitz is available on the App Store and Google Play.

World of Tanks Blitz Introduces the Hafen Tank from Valkyria Chronicles 4

A new tank straight from SEGA’s Valkyria Chronicles 4, the Hafen, is releasing today in World of Tanks Blitz. This Tier VII tank will join the three others taken from the universe and will be available until 30 September.

The Hafen is a hero that boasts both speed and maneuverability and is certainly to strike the fancy of both fans of the universe and those unfamiliar to the series. With an aggressive playstyle, it is able to deal some serious damage and overcome obstacles that lie in its way.

Along with the ongoing partnership with SEGA, World of Tanks Blitz continues to gain popularity around the world, with 100 million downloads globally and over 10 million battles played every day. World of Tanks Blitz is available on the App Store and Google Play.
