About Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Siege

Inspired by real-world counter-terrorist organisations, Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege puts players in the middle of lethal close-quarter confrontations. For the first time in a Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six game, players will engage in sieges, a new style of assault where enemies have the means to transform their environments into modern strongholds while Rainbow Six teams lead the assault to breach the enemy’s position. Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege gives players unprecedented control over their ability to fortify their position by reinforcing walls and floors, using barbed wire and deployable shields, laying mines and more, or to breach the enemies’ position using observation drones, setting charges, rappelling and more. The fast pace and uniqueness of each siege sets a new bar for intense firefights, strategic gameplay and competitive gaming.

New Hunt: Showdown Content Arrives in Update 2.1

Experience new weapons, improvements, and mission conditions

FRANKFURT, Germany – July 16, 2018 – Even more new content for Hunt: Showdown, Crytek’s early access multiplayer bounty hunting game, went live today with the release of Update 2.1, coming hot on the heels of the release of Update 2. Update 2.1’s two biggest additions are both community-requested features: a partner spectator mode for players who die during a match and a new mission type with heavy fog.

With Update 2.1, players will also get access to more weapons and the usual slew of improvements and bug fixes. New weapons included in the update are the Crossbow, Hand Crossbow, Poisonhand Crossbow, Throwing Knives, a Specter with bayonet, a Sparks with silencer, a Winfield with silencer, and a Combat Axe. Two related traits have also been added—Bolt Thrower and Bolt Seer—which will give any bow slinger additional prowess. Fixes range from menu tweaks to weapon balancing, and the details are all available in the Update Patch Notes.

“Seeing the reactions of the community and working closely with their feedback to fine-tune the direction of the game has been an incredible process,” said Loic Raimond (Live Service Producer) of Hunt’s early access process. “It feels like a truly collaborative process, and the game is all the better—and more fun—for it.”

About Hunt: Showdown

Hunt: Showdown is a competitive first-person bounty hunting game with heavy PvE elements, from the makers of Crysis. Set in the darkest corners of the world, it packs the thrill of survival games into a match-based format. Hunt’s competitive, match-based gameplay mixes PvP and PvE elements to create a uniquely tense experience. Each match pits up to ten players—playing solo or in teams of two—against each other as they fight for bounty by taking out gruesome monsters in the swamps of Louisiana. Once they’ve found and defeated one of these they will receive a bounty—and instantly become a target for every other Hunter left on the map. The higher the risk, the higher the reward–but a single mistake could cost everything.

Horror co-op GTFO reveals new spine-chilling “shadow enemy”, receives multiple awards and nominations at E3 2018

Swedish independent game dev 10 Chambers Collective – formed from a small team of veterans previously known for titles such as PAYDAY: The Heist and PAYDAY 2 – attended E3 to let people test their upcoming horror co-op FPS GTFO. The title received multiple awards and nominations, such as “Best Cooperative Game” and “Best of E3”, and the week after – at Unity developer conference Unite Berlin 2018 – they showcased even more gameplay and revealed a new enemy.

10 Chambers Collective, an independent Swedish development team led by the game designer behind the PAYDAY franchise, Ulf Andersson, gave people a chance to try their upcoming game GTFO for the first time at E3 2018.

The hardcore co-op FPS, that really put the journalists’ gaming skills to the test, has gained notoriety for being developed by a team of only nine people – and gained several nominations and awards from publications that tried the game. Among the accolades were awards for “Best Cooperative Game” and “Editors’ Choice Award” as well as nominations for “Best of E3” and “Best in Show”.

Just the week after E3, the team attended Unity’s developer conference Unite Berlin – where the 3D engine developer highlighted the GTFO development team’s impressive use of their Unity technology.

During the Unite Berlin keynote, GTFO’s Creative Director Ulf Andersson showed off some new gameplay as well as a previously unrevealed enemy. In the gameplay trailer shown, the co-op team can be seen wandering around the dark complex with one of the players picking up enemy movement on his motion tracker – but they can’t seem to see it with their bare eyes. Seconds later, the team explodes into a shooting frenzy with what seems to be hostile, living shadows.

“GTFO has an incredibly tense atmosphere where death lurks around every corner. With the Shadow enemy, death can lurk right in front of you but you can’t quite see it… It’s just one of several ways that GTFO messes with the player” says Simon Viklund, member of 10 Chambers Collective.

The monster can only be made out when it’s moving in relation to the surrounding light sources – such as a player’s flashlight. This makes it almost impossible to show the shadow enemy in a static screenshot, which is why the press material will only contain media showing it in motion.

GTFO will be released at the end of 2018 and can already be wishlisted on Steam. Interact with 10 Chambers Collective on Twitter, YouTube and Facebook, and join the ambassador program to get development info ahead of the public.

About 10 Chambers Collective

Founded in 2015, 10 Chambers Collective is an independent studio based in Stockholm, Sweden.
