Pirates of the Caribbean: Tides of War Summer Update Released

Pirates of the Caribbean: Tides of War Summer Update Released

Seoul, South Korea – July 5, 2018 – Joycity announces a major summer update for their hit mobile game, Pirates of the Caribbean: Tides of War.

The massive update introduces a new Star Ratings feature. The system will rate players’ battle performance against monsters and merchant ships after each battle. This rating is based on how much damage was sustained during each battle. If a player receives a perfect 3 star rating, a special “perfect kill” reward will be given.

The update also adds attributes to level 11 and higher monsters and merchant ships. Players will be able to take on threats above their own level and raise their chances by carefully taking advantage of the new attributes.

Buildings receive an expansion in this update as well.  Total of eight buildings which include The Field, Lumber Mill, Silver Mine, Storehouse, and the Market will all receive S-level 1 expansions. The Tavern, Healer’s Hut, and Depot will expand to S-level 2. When the Market reaches S-level 1, new Uncommon Goods will be unlocked for sale.

Players have been asking for a server transfer and the long-requested feature finally arrives. The new transfer option is available to players with Fortress level 7- 15. All eligible Captains are able to move to a server that has been open for 30 days or more. The transfer will only be available if the target server has an existing higher level player. Also, if a player wants to move out of a merged server, only another merged server can be selected as a destination.

Rounding out the update are 2 new alliance skills. The first is the ‘Ultimate Fleet’ skill which increases the durability and armor of alliance member ships and second is ‘Mind Control’ which increases the attack and defense of alliance member pirates within Alliance Territory.

One last bit to the update is the stamina adjustment. Stamina consumed by unique ships when hunting monsters, trading, collecting, and during territory siege will be significantly reduced.

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.

NBA 2K19 Welcomes Ben Simmons as the first ever Australian Cover Star

Rookie of the year Ben Simmons will join an illustrious list of cover stars when he adorns the Australian & New Zealand editions of NBA 2K19 upon release on September 11

Sydney – July 5, 20182K today announced that NBA 2K will feature Rookie of the Year and ardent gamer Ben Simmons on the cover of NBA 2K19 in Australia and New Zealand. The ground-breaking cover features Australia’s latest global sporting superstar alongside a selection of words chosen by Simmons. Each term contains special meaning to Ben, including “Loyalty,” “Family,” and his signature “Triple Double.”

“It’s a huge honour to be recognised on the first-ever Australian cover for NBA 2K and represent the 76ers,” said Ben Simmons. “The Aussie fans are super passionate about basketball and specifically NBA 2K, so it’s very cool to be an ambassador for both”

“Ben is the future of the NBA and his drive and versatility have made him an undeniable force in the league,” said Alfie Brody, Vice President of Marketing for NBA 2K. “He’s the perfect cover athlete and we’re excited to feature him as our very first Australian cover star.”

During his debut season in the NBA Simmons set a host of records. He joined Oscar Robertson and Magic Johnson as only the third rookie in NBA history to reach 1,000 points, 500 rebounds and 500 assists and he was second only to Robertson for most triple-doubles in a rookie season. He beat Allen Iverson’s record of 567 assists to set the team rookie record and helped the Philadelphia 76ers qualify for the Eastern Conference playoffs with a record of 52–30, the best team performance since 2001. During the playoffs he became the first rookie since Magic Johnson in 1980 to have a triple-double, and only the fifth rookie in history to achieve this feat.

Developed by Visual Concepts, the NBA 2K19 Standard Edition will be available in Australia and New Zealand for Xbox One, PlayStation®4 system, Nintendo Switch and Windows PC platforms in both digital and physical formats on September 11, 2018.

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.

Fire Pro Wrestling World Brings Omega and More to the Playstation 4

Spike Chunsoft’s Fire Pro Wrestling franchise is one of the most well-known brands for hardcore fans of wrestling. While the visuals may be a bit simplistic, the amount of customization remains unmatched. Come August 28th, Fire Pro Wrestling World will be leaving its little egg, once hatched on early access for Steam and hit the Playstation 4, but this time – a good bit of talent is attached that is sure to make this dish savory to this current generation of fans.

Most notably are the Bullet Club and a handful of NJPW talent. Kenny Omega takes control in the new trailer (which you can see below), boasting features and adding a little bit of celebrity that Meltzer himself would be sure to give an 8/5. While some may think this price-point is steep of 49.99, keep in mind that this includes the ability to access other player’s content with an UNLIMITED amount of created characters, as well as the ability to gain that awesome almanac of NJPW itself. If you have been following anything within this release, you know that this is your heavyweight title for the summer.

We Happy Few Approved by Australian Classification Review Board

The Australian Classification Board refused to give We Happy Few an age classification back in May due to the game’s mechanics surrounding the use of the drug Joy. The judgement effectively banned the game’s sale in Australia. Compulsion Games appealed to the Australian Classification Review Board in hopes of getting an age rating for the game.

Compulsion Games announced today they managed to successfully appeal the ruling and will be able to sell the game in Australia without any changes to the game. We Happy Few is now classified as R18+. This is great news for Compulsion Games, as they were prepared to offer refunds to Australian Kickstarter backers if Compulsion Games’ appeal failed.

We Happy Few is currently in early access on Xbox One and Windows via Steam. The game will leave early access and launch in full on August 10, 2018 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Windows.
