IRON THRONE INTRODUCES NEW LARGE-SCALE BATTLE FEATURES INCLUDING BLOOD MOON WAR AND CONTINENTAL DOMINATION

Two new battle features offer massive online play across all Iron Throne kingdoms

LOS ANGELES, California (September 12, 2018)Netmarble Corporation, the fastest-growing mobile game company worldwide, today released two new game features for Iron Throne, its latest MMO strategy game on mobile devices: Blood Moon War and Continental Domination.

At the heart of this update is the Blood Moon War (Kingdom vs Kingdom). Lords of participating kingdoms will leave their own territory and engage in a week-long ‘Blood Moon’ battle. Each kingdom competes for points during the first three days through monster hunts, PvP, plundering resources and attacking strongholds. The kingdom with the highest score during the first three days of the Blood Moon will receive powerful buff effects during the remaining four days.

The Blood Moon War occurs every four weeks and users can participate at any time using the Blood Moon Teleport during that time period.

The update also includes a new battle feature called Continental Domination, a large-scale war where lords of all kingdoms compete to dominate the 48 cities. The top 24 alliances of Iron Throne will each become a separate empire and take on the role of an alliance leader in order to wage war against other empires.

Continental Domination opens for four hours a day over the course of three days, and the empire that occupies the most cities at the end of each day wins. The winner receives an enormous amount of gold, and all participating alliances and lords win a variety of rewards. This content was created to deliver an exciting battle experience, and users can enjoy the fun of battle without losing actual troops or resources.

This update also adds a third season of Town Mode, two new heroes and new monsters. Also, new content such as “war coins” which are a new in-game currency that can be acquired through the battle modes and rune enhancement have been added.

“We focused on providing a more fun battle experience to Iron Throne players with this update,” said Seungwon Lee, Chief Global Officer of Netmarble. “Through large-scale battle features differentiated from the existing ones, I believe our gamers will find the true pleasure of strategy gaming.”

Iron Throne is now available for iOS and Android platforms via Apple App Store and Google Play.

INTELLIVISION® TO REVEAL EXTENSIVE DETAILS OF NEW VIDEO GAME CONSOLE ON OCTOBER 20TH

Intellivision Entertainment President Tommy Tallarico to Keynote the Portland Retro Gaming Expo in Portland, OR

IRVINE, CA, September 12, 2018 – Intellivision® Entertainment is proud to announce that it will be revealing extensive details about its upcoming new family home video game console at the Portland Retro Gaming Expo on Saturday, October 20th. Intellivision president and industry veteran Tommy Tallarico headlines the show as the keynote address for the largest retro video game convention in the world. Information to be revealed includes the name, logo and branding of the new console, the hardware specs (including the revolutionary new controller), launch date, price point, online capabilities, new & unique approach to doing business in the game industry, games available at launch, partners, publishers, game licenses, marketing strategy, developer relationships and game funding, technical specifications for game developer tools, the team and advisors behind Intellivision Entertainment, special guests, game industry supporters and backers… and much more… including a FIRST LOOK at what the new console and controllers will look like (3D renders only).

Intellivision Entertainment will also be sponsoring an exclusive Blue Sky Rangers panel consisting of never before heard original Intellivision past management as well as programmers and artists to discuss the revolutionary products and video game industry “firsts” they pioneered. Six of the biggest and brightest stars of the early 80’s era of Intellivision will be together again for the first time. Aside from the keynote address, Mr. Tallarico will also be presenting a separate talk explaining retro game audio creation from the 80’s & 90’s. All three of the Intellivision talks will be streamed LIVE and archived on the Intellivision Entertainment social media pages and website. The first 2,000 convention attendees and the first 500 keynote address attendees will receive an exclusive special limited edition Intellivision lanyard.

Intellivision Entertainment is bringing the concepts of SIMPLE, AFFORDABLE, FAMILY & FUN back into homes across the world with the introduction of their brand new home video game console. The original Intellivision system generated many “firsts” in the video game industry including the first 16-bit gaming machine, the first gaming console to offer digital distribution, the first to bring speech/voice to games, the first to license professional sports leagues and organizations and the first to create and utilize a directional pad (D-Pad) for game controls. Originally released in 1979, due to its popularity it was remarkably retailed across 3 decades and quickly sold millions of units. The new Intellivision system will carry on the company tradition of “firsts” with its new concept, design and approach to gaming.

Supernatural 3D Narrative The Midnight Sanctuary Arrives 4 Oct. on Switch, PlayStation 4, PSVR, Steam

Steam VR Support to Follow

TOKYO – 12 Sept. 2018 – The Midnight Sanctuary, the occult suspense 3D novel from Sony publishing label UNTIES and developer CAVYHOUSE, will shake players to their core on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PSVR and Steam on 4 Oct. VR support will haunt Steam at a future date.

The people of Daiusu, a long-isolated Japanese village, revere a mystic woman known as “The Saint.” Once persecuted for their religious beliefs but wishing to become a modern tourist destination, locals have built a grand cathedral in her honor and to attract visitors.

Famous historian Hamomuro Tachibana, voiced by popular Japanese actress Yū Shimamura (Final Fantasy XV, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Attack on Titan) is invited to Daiusu to catalog its past and familiarize locals with the outside world.

But not all is as it seems. Quickly into her journey Tachibana witnesses residents appearing and disappearing, leaping off cliffs, and twisting themselves in half. Are these people dead… or not quite? Has “The Saint” returned to the mountain village? If so, does she bring salvation or herald the end?

The Midnight Sanctuary blurs the line between reality and surreal both in storytelling and visual style. Blending static 2D textures and moving 3D models creates a striking visual effect, further enhanced in VR. The Midnight Sanctuary’s graphics, which incorporate a stained glass-style to create a beautiful aesthetic, provides an eerie background for the alarming events Tachibana encounters.

“The mysteries of The Midnight Sanctuary carry many unexpected twists and turns,” said John Davis, G&R Representative, UNTIES. “CAVYHOUSE has really outdone themselves with the graphics, creating stunning visuals to underline the strange story of Daiusu village.

The Midnight Sanctuary will be available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PSVR, and Steam for $9.99 USD and will support English text localization and full audio and text in Japanese.

Fight for Your Crown 27 Sept. in Exorder on Nintendo Switch

Price Drop on Steam, PC-Nintendo Switch Crossplay

WARSAW, Poland – 12 Sept., 2018 – Exorder, the fantasy turn-based tactical RPG from Fat Dog Games and Solid9 Studio, marches onto Nintendo Switch 27 Sept., 2018. The Steam price will drop to match the console price point of $12.99 USD / €12.99.

Charge into battle as Princess Beyla, defender of the crown and protector of the kingdom. Exorder boasts intense skirmishes with more than 10 battle units. Each unit features distinct and quirky skills with different model and stat variants to choose from. Combat is easy to pick up, but the game’s multiplayer skirmishes demand a master to climb the ranks in global leaderboards.

Learn the ropes in a quick single-player campaign by fighting to defend Cerulean, a humble kingdom threatened by a not-so-humble Prince Tristan. After saving the day, prepare to challenge a single foe online in quick match or queue in for a heated battle of up to four players in a custom game. Exorder has both online and local multiplayer options to throw down with friends far away or on the couch. Crossplay allows Nintendo Switch and PC owners to wage war against each other.

Battles between three warring nations span eight skirmish maps that promote strategic planning and the occasional overly boisterous winner. Carefully predict enemy turns and choose unit placements and skills wisely: one wrong tradeoff can lead to an unforgiving end (and perhaps a strained friendship).

Exorder is a bright, colorful adventure with cheerful music and a delightful cast of characters that drive Cerulean’s fantastical, all-ages tale. The sights and sounds of this troubled kingdom charm for hours in both an easy to pick up single-player campaign and challenging multiplayer showdowns.

“This is a love song to the classic games in the turn-based tactics genre,” said Darek Skrzypkowski, CEO, Fat Dog Games. “Exorder is a brilliant and welcoming tribute to that scene with its vibrant colors, quirky humor and intuitive mechanics made even better when played with friends.”

For more information, please visit Exorder’s official website, join its Discord server and follow Solid9 Studio on Twitter and Facebook.

Exorder is currently available on Windows, Mac and Linux via Steam for $12.99 USD and supports English with subtitles available in Polish. The game will be available digitally for Nintendo Switch for $12.99.

COMPLETE YOUR ULTIMATE JOURNEY INTO THE HEART OF FERRARI WITH THE “FERRARI ESSENTIALS PACK”: AVAILABLE NOW FOR PROJECT CARS 2

Slightly Mad Studios and BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment Europe are proud to announce the release of the fourth and final expansion pack for Project CARS 2, the Ferrari Essentials Pack, now available as a standalone purchase, or as part of the Project CARS 2 Season Pass.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjYZR0_7R-w&feature=youtu.be

Live all the passion of Maranello’s motorsport legacy around Ferrari’s very own mythical test-track, the Pista di Fiorano, and follow in the wheel-tracks of the Scuderia’s greatest racing legends. Then, fuel your adrenaline around the thrill-a-second, high-speed turns of the Mugello Circuit in eight irresistible Ferrari icons that capture all the performance, exhilaration, and decades of sporting excellence that make the Prancing Horse the world’s most cherished racing icon.

Dominate in sportscar- and GT-racing with the Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa and the Ferrari 250 GT Berlinetta, two full-blooded racing legends that overwhelmed the competition in the ’50s and ’60s, scoring hundreds of wins between them including overall wins at Le Mans and the World Championship of Makes.

Tame the raw power of the banshee-wailing, fire-spitting Ferrari 512 BB LM—a V12 monster that singularly defined its age and the ethos of big engines, big horsepower, big aero and big noise.

Explore the limits of the final car Enzo Ferrari ever created, the peerless Ferrari F40—an elemental supercar that embodied decades of Ferrari’s motorsport experience and iconic design with the purity of a machine that came with no aids, dollops of turbo-charged power, and a simple desire to thrill.

Feel the cut-and-thrust of spec’-racing at its finest in the Ferrari F355 Challenge that built the reputation of the one-make Ferrari Challenge series—the go-to championship for fun, bumper-to-bumper racing action.

And then complete your drive into decades of Ferrari passion with three of today’s most desired supercars: the track-only Ferrari FXX K with over 1,000hp and neck-twisting amounts of downforce: the irresistible Ferrari 458 Speciale A, for many one of the most complete supercars in the world: and the snarling, impudent, and menacing Ferrari F12tdf that was created by Maranello’s engineers and test-drivers with one simple purpose – to test your skills like no other.

Along with the eight cars and two tracks come six Career Events crafted to thrust Project CARS 2 drivers on an essential ride into the very soul of the Prancing Horse.

Update 7 has now also been released for Project CARS 2. Update notes are available at this link: https://pcars.games/Update7
