Pirates of the Caribbean: Tides of War Update features Captain Jack Sparrow’s Shade

Seoul, South Korea – August 17, 2018 – Joycity has announced the details for the new Pirates of the Caribbean: Tides of War update featuring a shadowy spin on Captain Jack Sparrow. He has been an integral part of the game with fans asking for more since the game’s release, and they are soon to be rewarded.

Captain Jack Sparrow’s Shade joins the game as a new Tactician for players to acquire. Pirates who play through Chapter 1 – Jack’s Memory: The Curse of the Black Pearl will be able to obtain this especially infamous new Tactician. The legendary Black Pearl will also receive a new aura effect to reflect this update.

Along with Captain Jack Sparrow’s Shade, 4 additional new Tactician characters are joining the Caribbean. Tactician management is also included so that players not only see Tacticians in their fortress, but their full Tactician roster as well.

Key elements of the UI will also be improved. Players will now be able to check all their tasks currently in progress at the same time. Rather than needing to talk to Joshamee Gibbs each time to retrieve a quest reward, players can now simply bring up a pop-up window to receive all their rewards.

There will also be a 7-day check-in event during the entire month. Eligible players who log a total of 7 check-ins throughout the month receive a fierce new Tactician, Nami Hayakaze, as an event reward.

Pirates of the Caribbean: Tides of War is a mobile strategy simulation game based on the popular “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise from Disney. The game has been enjoyed by fans all over the world since the release in May 2017.

DIABLO^® III ETERNAL COLLECTION^™ BRINGS THE LEGENDARY ACTION RPG TO NINTENDO SWITCH^®

The definitive version of Blizzard Entertainment’s acclaimed Diablo III includes all the features and content from every expansion and update as well as bonus items exclusive to Nintendo Switch

SYDNEY, Australia—17 August, 2018—The minions of Hell have grown unfathomably strong since Diablo® III’s release, but lucky for the High Heavens, reinforcements are on the way. Later this year, Nintendo Switch players the world over will join the fray with the Diablo III Eternal Collection™ and wield their systems’ portable power to slay demons and amass vast hoards of loot anytime, anywhere.

The Eternal Collection is the definitive edition of the award-winning action RPG, including everything from the original Diablo III, the critically-acclaimed Reaper of Souls® expansion, and the Rise of the Necromancer® pack. With seven powerful character classes, a five-act campaign that spans the lore-rich and demon-infested world of Sanctuary, and an endlessly replayable Adventure Mode, the Eternal Collection is the perfect all-in-one package to introduce newcomers to a lifetime of adventure.

The Eternal Collection for the Nintendo Switch incorporates the system’s flexibility and versatility into its design. Whether using a Joy-Con™ controller or a Nintendo Switch Pro Controller, players will have an awe-inspiring assortment of demon-slaying powers at their fingertips, thanks to intuitive, ultra-responsive controls custom-built for Nintendo Switch. And true to the spirit of the Diablo series, players will also have a wealth of options when it comes to cleansing Sanctuary cooperatively—up to four players can band together to engage in grand multiplayer crusades, whether they’re sharing a screen on a single Nintendo Switch, linking their systems together wirelessly, or teaming up through the Nintendo Switch Online* service.

“The Eternal Collection is the definitive version of Diablo III, and we’re thrilled to team up with Nintendo to unleash it for Nintendo Switch gamers around the world later this year,” said Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment. “Bringing the world together through epic entertainment is core to our mission at Blizzard—we can’t wait to welcome a new generation of demon-slayers to Sanctuary.”

“At Nintendo, we’re huge fans of rich and compelling games that speak to players around the world,” said Reggie Fils-Aime, Nintendo of America President and COO. “By partnering with companies like Blizzard, we’re able to create new ways of engaging with beloved content. Blizzard and Nintendo share a commitment to redefining the way people play games, and with the Diablo III Eternal Collection for Nintendo Switch, that means players can now explore the vast world of Sanctuary anytime they like, and anywhere they go.”

Diablo III is the fastest-selling PC game of all time**. The Reaper of Souls expansion introduced the mighty Crusader class, the infinitely-replayable Adventure Mode, and a host of other game-defining features, like the random loot-filled Nephalem Rift dungeons. In 2017, Rise of the Necromancer resurrected the fan-favourite Necromancer class from Diablo II, bolstering players’ forces with the gruesome powers of blood and bone. All of this is included in Diablo III Eternal Edition for the Nintendo Switch system, on top of platform-exclusive bonus items, like The Legend of Ganondorf cosmetic armour set, inspired by the iconic villain from The Legend of Zelda series.

Diablo III Eternal Collection for Nintendo Switch will be available later this year at retail stores everywhere and digitally through the Nintendo eShop. Gamers in North America and Europe will be able to get an early look at Diablo III Eternal Collection this August at Gamescom in Cologne, Fan Expo in Toronto, and PAX West in Seattle.

* Nintendo Account required. Online services and features, including online play, are free until the paid Nintendo Switch Online Service launches in September 2018.
