Stardew Valley Multiplayer Update Coming to PC on August 1st

Chucklefish and ConcernedApe announced the highly anticipated Stardew Valley multiplayer update will launch on Linux, Mac, and Windows on August 1st. A beta has been available on PC since April. The console multiplayer update is still in the works. PlayStation 4, Switch, and Xbox One players will get the update at a later time, but no word quite yet on the status of the PS Vita.

Co-op is unlocked once the host player must have a cabin for each friend being brought into the game. They can be automatically made when starting a new game or built for a small fee on existing farms. From there, up to four players can work together to manage the farm, fish, interact with the townspeople, and explore the mines below the town. The game will maintain separate relationships, skills, and inventories for each player.

First Overlord Trailer Released

Paramount Pictures released a brand new trailer for their World War II horror film Overlord.

Futuristic Third Person Sci-Fi Shooter ‘Gene Rain’ Hits Xbox One on July 24

Futuristic Third Person Sci-Fi Shooter ‘Gene Rain’ Hits Xbox One on July 24

End the Gene Rain era and restore the world order as the leader of the Death Squad

Shanghai, China — July 20, 2018 — Chinese publisher E-Home Entertainment Development today announced that their dystopian third person shooter (TPS), Gene Rain, will launch on Xbox One on July 24th. Set in a futuristic world where humans and technology collide, in Gene Rain players control the Death Squad, who must put a halt to a catastrophic gene-altering rain, which has been killing generations of innocent humans for years. Exploring the notion that the end does not always justify the means, Gene Rain expands the plot through new human narrative structures offering spectacular next-gen graphics.

“Following its launch on Playstation 4, we are now gearing up towards the launch on Xbox One, so Xbox players can experience this thrilling third person shooter,” says Kavka Wang, the Marketing Director at E-Home Entertainment Development. “Gene Rain draws players into a post-apocalyptic world with a rich backstory, that keeps them engaged through intense combat and striking visual effects. On a deeper level, Gene Rain portrays the story of a tragic hero who, despite his good intentions, chooses to sacrifice countless human lives for a brighter tomorrow.”

At a time of incredible technological advancements, the majority of human population has failed to adapt to the new rules of the world. In the hope of aiding humanity, the veteran of science and technology, Dr. Bill Feynman, created a genetic spraying agent to change the genetic structure of human beings, to make everyone’s IQ equal. Spread throughout the world by wind towers, the Gene Rain proved fatal to many and kicked off the fight between those in support of the Gene Rain and those rebelling against it and the new order.

Gene Rain puts players in charge of the Death Squad, who were formed to put a stop to the Gene Rain era. Controlling four characters LiYing (human), Salman (robot) and Alex (half human half robot) –  players aim to close the wind towers over four main game scenes – the ruined city, the quiet town, the deep canyon, and the dark city. Utilising nine different guns, three of which can be upgraded, players fight different types of enemies driven by an intricate AI tree that allows for unique behavioral patterns. Players find themselves amidst intense bullet storms and explosions wreaking havoc on their surroundings, making Gene Rain a truly intense TPS experience

  • Two New PvP Classes will be introduced (available starting July 24 for Year 2 Pass owners)

About Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon
Launched in 2001 with critical acclaim from fans of the Tom Clancy’s world, the Ghost Recon franchise has since convinced 30 million players thanks to breakthrough releases and has become the best-selling Tom Clancy’s brand on the last generation of consoles and PC. Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Wildlands brings the franchise to the next level with an episode designed from the ground up for a new generation, featuring a massive and visually stunning open world, playable for the first time online in four-player co-op.

Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Wildlands is a work of fiction. Like similar Tom Clancy’s games from Ubisoft, the game takes place in a modern universe inspired by reality, but the characters, locations and stories are created solely for entertainment purposes. One of the reasons Bolivia was chosen as the background of this game was due to its magnificent landscapes and rich culture. While the game’s premise imagines a different reality than the one that exists in Bolivia today, we do hope that the in-game world comes close to representing the country’s beautiful topography, and that players enjoy exploring the diverse and open landscapes it moved us to create. Any resemblance to actual events or any real persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental.

About Ubisoft
Ubisoft is a leading creator, publisher and distributor of interactive entertainment and services, with a rich portfolio of world-renowned brands, including Assassin’s Creed, Just Dance, Tom Clancy’s video game series, Rayman, Far Cry and Watch Dogs. The teams throughout Ubisoft’s worldwide network of studios and business offices are committed to delivering original and memorable gaming experiences across all popular platforms, including consoles, mobile phones, tablets and PCs.
