Get Ready to Fight for Fortune in World of Tanks: Mercenaries
The next phase of Wargaming’s biggest franchise is available on PlayStation®4 and Xbox now
June 26, 2018 — World of Tanks: Mercenaries, the next evolution of World of Tanks for PlayStation®4 and Xbox, is available globally today. With brand new features including powerful new vehicles, hero Crews, maps, and an explosive story campaign, there’s never been a better time to join the fight. Players can discover the global phenomenon that has attracted over 15 million players on consoles alone and see one of the world’s most popular free-to-play console games in an entirely new light.
Available to download now for PlayStation®4, PlayStation®4 Pro, Xbox One X, Xbox One and Xbox 360, the current release introduces the core concept of Mercenaries to the game, set against the backdrop of a new reality where World War II never ended. Society is fractured, and the world is left tired and hopeless. People are now fighting for themselves and taking up contracts to become soldiers of fortune.
Mercenaries collect parts from captured and abandoned vehicles on the battlefield to create entirely new ones. Bringing together the strengths of some of history’s most powerful war machines, the new Mercenary ‘nation’ and Tech Tree is born. Players will be given the opportunity to earn powerful, never-before-seen Mercenary vehicles for free through the brand new Contract system. Fulfilling certain in-game objectives, such as destroying a number of tanks from a specific nation in Multiplayer battles, can unlock vehicles from the fascinating new armada.
Each vehicle is helmed by a unique Mercenary crew, with their own story and their own playstyle. Want to unleash a hellish storm on your enemies with a Japanese freedom fighter? Storm Hunter is your woman – she rides to battle in the furious heavy tank, Needle. How about pestering enemies with an erratic and aggressive barrage of shells? Crazy Snake is your guy – get him with the mighty light tank, Stubbs! Five vehicles are available at launch, and the Mercenary nation will continue to expand its ranks in the weeks to come.
A brand-new War Stories campaign kickstarts the Mercenaries universe, joining an epic saga of stories set against an alternate history backdrop. ‘The Heist’ is an action-packed tale of espionage, nuclear tensions, and adrenaline-fueled tank battles where you follow a motley crew of Mercenaries who have been hired to set up, execute, and escape from a raid on a secret facility. Their mission, should they choose to accept it, is to steal nuclear material for a client who harbours his own atomic ambitions. However, the crew soon find themselves at the mercy of the combined powers of the United States and the Soviet Union. Journey into danger with The Collector, Don Quixote, and Borscht, and see if they can make it out alive with a paycheck in hand! Players can tackle this story alone (like a true Mercenary), or band together with a friend for co-operative online multiplayer action.
The Mercenaries universe has a far-reaching impact across the entire game. An array of fan-favorite multiplayer battle maps have received total revamps to fit in with the new world. Players can explore, fight through, and discover the strategic intricacies of battlegrounds ravaged by war and time in eight new Mercenary-themed maps.
Even more Mercenaries content will be available in the weeks and months to come, including new additions to the Mercenary Tech Tree, new Crews, new maps, and regular in-game events.

ATARI VCS™ TEAM OFFICIALLY WELCOMES ROB WYATT, SYSTEM ARCHITECT OF ORIGINAL XBOX® CONSOLE AND INNOVATOR OF NOTABLE GAME HARDWARE AND GRAPHICS PROJECTS
NEW YORK, NY (JUNE 26, 2018) – Atari® — one of the world’s most iconic consumer brands and interactive entertainment producers — today announced that game platform architecture expert Rob Wyatt and his Boulder, Colorado-based company Tin Giant, are officially joining the Atari VCS™ team. Wyatt, an expert in GPU Hardware and 3D graphics, has worked on everything from hardware design to graphics applications for a variety of well-known game systems and software platforms. While at Microsoft, Wyatt held roles on the development teams on DirectX and the Windows kernel before becoming the system architect of the original Xbox game console. Wyatt later contributed to the graphics systems of the PlayStation®3 before moving on to become the graphics architect at Magic Leap, an augmented reality startup. Along the way, he has also lent his expertise to many AAA video games and high-end movie special effects.
The Atari VCS is a completely new connected gaming and entertainment device slated to begin shipping in mid-2019. Atari has partnered with chipmaker AMD, who will provide the Atari VCS custom processor featuring Radeon Graphics Technology. The operating system of the Atari VCS is based on Linux, and the platform’s highly-anticipated open Sandbox will allow users to create and port additional content to personalize their experience.
“We have made a commitment to Atari fans to make the VCS the very best game and home entertainment platform it can be,” said Michael Arzt, Atari COO of Connected Devices. “After months of working with Rob and Tin Giant to define product requirements for the Atari VCS hardware and operating system, we are excited to finally and officially announce our partnership. Rob and his experienced team are working to squeeze every possible ounce of performance out of the Atari VCS hardware.”
“Who wouldn’t want to be part of bringing Atari back? From the moment the AMD team introduced me to Atari and the VCS project, I have been intrigued and inspired by the opportunity that it represents,” said Rob Wyatt, CEO of Tin Giant. “The unique open platform and modern approach that Atari is taking will let users enjoy a broad range of new and existing games and other entertainment, while also delivering some unique options to customize the platform to their own tastes by combining additional software and classic content all in one place.”
Retro-inspired, but not a “retro-box,” the Atari VCS will deliver a fully modern gaming and entertainment experience sure to delight the more than 11,000 backers who have enthusiastically supported the Atari VCS so far during its ongoing Indiegogo Pre-Sale; currently scheduled to end on June 29, 2018. Indiegogo backers and other future Atari VCS owners can plan to have access to a wide array of games, media and streaming content options when the hardware platform ships in mid-2019. Atari plans to make several more product development updates and announcements, along with new partnerships and agreements between now and the first shipments that will include game publishers and developers, product distribution plans, non-gaming content providers and much more. In addition, Atari endeavors to provide unscheduled work-in-progress product demonstrations in the future as they become practical.

CALL OF DUTY: WWII ‘UNITED FRONT’ DLC PACK LAUNCHES TODAY
Call of Duty: WWII ushers in Summer Gaming Sessions with Three Exciting
New Multiplayer Maps, an All-New War Mode Mission ‘Operation Supercharge,’ and Nazi Zombies saga update ‘The Tortured Path’
June 27, 2018 – Starting today, Allied forces retaliate as players come together to fight the enemy in Call of Duty®: WWII– United Front, available now, first on PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system. With today’s release of the third expansion pack for Call of Duty: WWII, players will experience three new Multiplayer maps that take place in iconic and historic World War II locales, an all-new War Mode Multiplayer mission set in North Africa and the newest Nazi Zombies saga chapter, The Tortured Path, where players must attempt to slow the Axis advance of the Undead.
Market Garden – One of the largest airborne operations in the European Theatre, players must maintain control of an Allied mansion base. Set in the Netherlands, this fast-paced map brings intense tight-quarters combat with gunfights waiting around every corner. At the centre of the map is a once-opulent mansion, now devastated in shambles.
Monte Cassino – Join the Italian campaign in this new Multiplayer map that takes place at a critical site of historic Allied assaults. Nestled below a mountaintop monastery, this war-torn village offers rich verticality with rooftop vantage points and sneaky flank paths along the cliffs. Players will need to stay on their toes while they traverse this map, as threats can come from anywhere.
Stalingrad – Based on the largest confrontation in World War II history, this medium-to-large-sized map features two main bases located on opposite sides of a demolished industrial district. Snipers can focus on securing key perches to control the map’s centre, while run-and-gunners can sneak through the underground sewers to flank behind enemy lines.
Operation Supercharge – Named after the Second Battle of El Alamein, Allied Forces must push the enemy across Africa and away from their southern defensive position in this all-new War Mode mission. Allies must air-drop into Tunisia and push into a Nazi-occupied village to capture key supplies, then cripple the enemy by detonating a key transport bridge. Players then make the final knock-out blow by capturing entrenched Axis fortifications.
The United Front DLC pack also features the co-operative Nazi Zombies saga update, The Tortured Path. As Allied forces crumble under the relentless advance of the Final Reich, General Rideau decides to take one last, dangerous gambit: to personally lead a small, unmarked caravan across the 2,000 miles of smoldering, infested land that stands between Berlin and the Allied-controlled port of Malaga. From there, he and his crew face a treacherous voyage across icy southern waters and U-boat blockades in a mission to transport the remaining pieces of Emperor Barbarossa’s legendary sword to the edge of the world. Players must uncover the lost forges of ancient Thule, make the sword whole again, and also deliver a final death to the Undead in this all-new Zombies experience.
Call of Duty: WWII – United Front DLC pack is available now, first on PlayStation®4 system for a suggested retail price of AUD$19.95 / NZD$22.95.
