Warner
Bros. Interactive Entertainment have released the DC Movie Character Pack
for LEGO® DC Super-Villains on PlayStation®
4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch™, and Windows® PC.
The new pack features iconic DC Super Heroes and Super-Villains
including Wonder Woman, Batman, The Flash, Superman, Cyborg, and Deathstroke
each with a fresh look matching their appearance in the Justice League movie
produced by Warner Bros. Pictures. Players can also play as the original, comic
book version of these characters in the main game.
As
one of the most beloved and iconic DC Super Heroes of all time, Wonder Woman
has stood for nearly eighty years as a symbol of truth, justice and equality to
people everywhere. With super strength and legendary combat skills, she
constantly walks the line of promoting peace and her need to fight back against
evil doers on Earth.
Batman
dedicated his life to an endless crusade, a war on all criminals in the name of
his parents, who were taken from him when he was just a child. A self-made
Super Hero, he trained his body and mind to near physical perfection while
using an arsenal of technology to keep a watchful, protective eye over Gotham
City, especially against criminals like The Joker.
Both
a master of speed and time, The Flash often uses his powers to travel though
different eras and even into other dimensions. As a Super Hero, The Flash
always does his best to outrun tragedies and to keep them from happening to
those around him.
Superman
is the world’s first Super Hero and a guiding light to all known by his
uniform, “S” shield on his chest, and unmatchable super strength and the
ability to fly. The Man of Steel is the ultimate symbol of truth, justice, and
hope and he strives to represent the inherent goodness of the human spirit, and
the capacity of every living thing to do right by their neighbours.
Part
man and part machine, Cyborg is far stronger than the average person. By
interfacing with computers with his genius-level intellect, he can emit various
types of energy making him a formidable fighter. One of the planet’s greatest
Super Heroes, Cyborg uses his ability to communicate and command technology to
save innocent lives.
Deathstroke
is the only Super-Villain to make an appearance from the Justice League
movie as part of the character pack. He depends on his heightened speed,
strength, senses, and most importantly, his incredibly high intelligence, which
makes him a master strategist and tactician. He is one of the world’s greatest
and most feared Super Villains.
The
DC Movie Character Pack is part of the Season
Pass included in the LEGO® DC Super-Villains Deluxe Edition or
can be purchased separately for $1.99.
In LEGO® DC Super-Villains,
the Justice League has disappeared, leaving Earth’s protection to a newcomer
group of heroes from a parallel universe, proclaiming themselves as the
‘Justice Syndicate’. Renowned DC Super-Villains from the ‘Legion Of Doom’
discover Earth’s newest heroes may not be the heroes they claim to be. With
each player’s completely customizable Super-Villain character in command, this
team of misfits must join forces to discover and foil the evil plans the
incognito newcomers have in store. Players will create their own supervillain
character and set out on a journey to determine their character’s purpose within
the story. Along the way, players will unlock new powers and customizations for
their character, travel off the beaten path for additional story quests,
puzzles, and mini-games to unlock rewards and recruit other DC Super-Villains,
and cause mischief throughout well-known DC locations including Gotham,
Metropolis, Smallville, and more.

seven months after a deadly virus was released in New York City, Tom Clancy’s
The Division 2 will bring players into a fractured and collapsing Washington
D.C. The world is on the brink, its people living through the biggest crisis
ever faced in human history. As veteran Division agents, players are the last
hope against the complete fall of society as enemy factions vie for control of
the city. If Washington D.C. is lost, the entire nation falls. Building upon
more than two years of listening to and learnings from The Division community,
Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 will offer a substantial campaign that organically
flows into a robust endgame, to create a cohesive and meaningful experience for
all types of players.

Steel Circus Takes the Field for Closed Alpha
Testing on February 15th
BEIJING – 12 Feb 2019–Steel Circus, the upcoming competitive hero sports game on
Steam from global publisher Oasis
Games and developer Iron
Mountain Interactive,
opens its Closed Alpha Testing (CAT) phase 15 February, and sign-ups are
available now.
The CAT will be open to
players who have signed up to participate on Steel Circus’
official website.
Several waves of closed tests will occur prior to the launch of Steel Circus
on Steam Early Access.
In 2350 AD, the Solar System’s dominant factions gather once a year to discuss the future of the galaxy. During these discussions, the people of these worlds celebrate the annual Steel Circus Championships. The only rule? Get the ball into the opposing team’s goal by any means necessary.
Three character types
round out the field: Strikers, Enforcers, and Specialists. Strikers, known for
their speed and agility are best for offensive play while avoiding engagements
wherever possible to line up the perfect shot. Enforcers are the brute force of
any well-balanced team, engaging opponents and disabling them temporarily,
enabling the rest of the team to score. Specialists are the wildcards of the
field: clever and creative, they create chaos on the field, block Strikers from
goals and neutralize Enforcers before they can react.
Each character features
special moves that can turn the tides towards victory. Lochlan, a Scottish lord
from the United States of Europe, buffs his team’s speed while hampering his
opponents’ by playing his powered bagpipes. A sneaky robot from the Ceres
Worker’s Union known as Cap-x02 can transform into a projectile-launching
turret capable of stunning the opposition. Schröder, the mysterious
spokesperson of Saturn Enterprises, is capable of altering physical matter in order
to evade traps and confuse opponents who swear he sometimes appears of out
nowhere.
“We’ve always loved the
speed of sports games, and while creating Steel Circus we felt combining
that, with the action and mechanics of hero-based games, we’d have the chance
to re-invigorate the sports genre,” says Helmut Hutterer, Game Director, Iron
Mountain Interactive. “Our goal with Steel Circus is to change what
players think of when they hear about sports games, and want to thank everyone
in the Closed Alpha Test for being among the first to test the exciting new
types of gameplay we’re creating.”
Steel Circus’ Closed Alpha Test enrollment will remain open
during the entire CAT period and players are now invited to participate in the
first testing round, scheduled from 15 February (6:00 AM PT, 3:00 PM CET,
5:00 PM MSK) to 16 February ((6:00 AM PT, 3:00 PM CET, 5:00 PM MSK). The
servers will be up 24 hours a day. All future Closed Alpha Test rounds as
they will be announced. For more information, visit the game’s official sign-up
page.

CAT schedule updates and development progress on Facebook, Twitter, and Discord.

Minesweeper Genius Makes its Explosive Debut on
Console Today
SYDNEY, NSW – Feb. 12,
2019 –Minesweeper Genius, the modern take on the classic game of logic
from developer Mgaia Studio and publisher Blowfish Studios, is now available for Nintendo Switch,
PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
In Minesweeper Genius, aliens have acquired Aristotle’s DNA and cloned him to conduct experiments in labs filled with explosive land mines. It’s up to players to sweep their way through each level, moving Aristotle from one square to the next en route to the exit while avoiding subterranean dangers. Numbers on each row and column indicate how many mines are near, tasking players with working out where they are without making a costly mistake.
Aristotle’s challenge
gets more complicated when special tiles come into play, introducing new
obstacles that alter or restrict his movement around the alien labs. Use flags
to keep track of where hidden hazards are and enjoy relaxing music while
working out solutions.
Minesweeper Genius helps make the rules of Minesweeper more
accessible with a learning curve that acclimates players to the mechanics and
logic required to solve puzzles in the game’s 130 standard levels. Puzzle
experts can then try to sweep through the 55 extra difficult stages. Conquer
everything and need a new test? Take on the console-exclusive Custom Level
mode, where new puzzles are procedurally generated based on adjustable
settings.
“Minesweeper Genius
takes me back to our uni days, when we’d procrastinate on preparing for exams
by trying to conquer the most ridiculous Minesweeper grids possible,”
said Ben Lee, CEO, Blowfish Studios. “I look forward to a new generation
enjoying Mgaia’s wonderfully original take on this classic experience now that Minesweeper
Genius is available for consoles.”
Minesweeper Genius is now available on Nintendo Switch,
PlayStation 4, and Xbox One for $5.99 USD / £4.99 GBP / € 5.99 / 7.99 AUD. The
game supports English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese,
Russian, Chinese, and Japanese.
Blowfish Studios is an
award-winning independent game developer and publisher based in Sydney,
Australia. We strive to release original multi-platform games, while also
collaborating with developers from around the world. As developers first, we
bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to any partnership. Our team provides
development services to get the game release ready, porting to all major
platforms, platform approval, marketing and promotion to the world.
Based out of the São
Paulo countryside in Brazil and founded from the ashes of an advergaming
company in 2013, Mgaia’s two-person team seeks to live out their childhood
dream of making games for a living. A four-time SBGames Festival Award winner,
Mgaia creates titles with original IP for mobile, PC, and now console with Minesweeper
Genius.
The next set of updates and new features is set to be added to the Red
Dead Online Beta on February 26th as we implement many new
improvements and enhancements to the game’s open world, including a new Law and
Bounty system, weapons balancing, changes to player blips on the mini-map and
more. Read on for details about these changes and stay tuned next week to learn
more about some of the other new content coming in this update.
Player Visibility
As part of our response to community feedback on how to minimize certain
types of destructive player behavior, we’ve made some changes to the way player
blips will appear on the map.
Firstly, we’re reducing the visibility of blips over long distances –
your map position won’t display to other players unless you are nearby (within
150 meters) and if you are slightly further away you will only appear when
firing your weapon. Players in other towns or regions, for example, won’t
be visible. This prevents players from being repeatedly targeted across the map
at long distances.
We’re also introducing a new system that highlights overly aggressive
players. If your style of play becomes more hostile, your map position (and the
position of your Posse members) will become more visible to other players with
a progressively darkening dot that incrementally shifts from blue to dark red.
Your visibility increases through bad deeds such as attacking and killing other
players or their horses outside of a structured mode, Free Roam Mission, event
or competition, and the shorter the time between bad acts, the more your visibility
increases. Shift back to a more righteous path and your visibility will fade
over time.
We’re also introducing Posse-wide Parleys and improving Feuds. You’ll
soon be able to initiate Parley that applies to your attacker’s entire Posse
after just a single kill. Alternatively, if you’d rather challenge your
opponent, you can initiate a Feud, Posse Feud or Leader Feud after one kill,
quickly turning a dispute into a timed mini-deathmatch for rival players to
fight out amongst themselves in Free Roam, earning points for each kill on the
opposing player.
Bounty Hunters & Law Balancing
At the same time, players who have racked up high bounties will have a
chance to be beset by NPC Bounty Hunters who will attempt to kill them and
collect their reward.
Criminal behavior will have bounty values and honor consequences that
scale based on the severity of the crime. For example, killing another player
can incur a higher bounty, while assaulting townsfolk or animal cruelty could
give you a lesser bounty if the crime is reported, while lower level crimes
like looting and ransacking will only decrease your honor.
If your bounty exceeds a certain threshold and Bounty Hunters take
notice, you will be wanted dead and alerted to their pursuit. The higher your
bounty, the greater your value and the more difficult the pursuit becomes for
you and your Posse.
Daily Challenges
We will also be adding a variety of Daily Challenges to take on across
the Red Dead Online Beta. Complete individual objectives that cover every
aspect of life on the frontier to earn Gold Nuggets and XP. Challenges will
range from foraging for herbs, selling items at a Fence, hunting and skinning
animals, clearing hideouts, winning Feuds and so much more. These Daily
Challenges will continue to expand and evolve over time bringing specialty
challenges and rewards, streak bonuses and more.
Other Fixes and More
Your feedback has been invaluable so please keep it coming. In addition
to these updates we are planning to address several additional changes based on
community
feedback received thus far – select weapons will be re-balanced
including the Varmint Rifle, which will have its accuracy brought more in line
with other longarm weapons ; voice chat will be reduced to work at closer
proximity, and while fixes to horse cargo are numerous and ongoing we plan to
introduce some improvements to making pelts and carcasses more persistent after
death or respawning.
We will have more details on additional content in the February 26th
update next week. We are excited about the future of Red Dead Online and look
forward to sharing lots more in the weeks and months ahead.
Meanwhile, there are chances to earn more XP to rank up ahead of
February 26th. Playing
in a Posse will bring benefits like earning increased XP in Free
Roam Missions and Free Roam Events. Posse up this week to earn twice as much
increased XP on these activities, and next week earn 20% more XP across all
activities in the Red Dead Online Beta.

Characters on Nintendo Switch™ 26 February
Free Update Arriving Simultaneously For

Every new addition will come to the PlayStation®4, Xbox One and PC via a free update.
Fight alongside or
against buddies in Radical Edition’s new local co-op and versus modes.
Plop down with a buddy to team up to take down the baddies and save the
videogame world. Need to get out some aggression? Lay on the smack down in
Battle Mode to show them who’s boss.
The Radical Edition

Adventure and Shelly “Bombshell” Harrison from Bombshell and

Other totally tubular features include new levels, abilities, mini-games, a new
overworld and tons of new secrets, collectables and unlockables.
“We love Rad, and we
thought he deserved some awesome new friends to play with,” said Frederik
Schreiber, co-owner of 3D Realms. “With new levels, weapons, couch co-op and a
versus mode, I think our fans may have a hard time putting this game down.”
Rad Rodgers: Radical
Edition is developed by Slipgate Studios and will be published by 3D Realms and HandyGames. Rad Rodgers: Radical Edition launches
on Nintendo Switch™ 26 February, with a free content update to PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, across the Xbox One family of devices including Xbox One X and PC at launch.
After being sucked into
the gaming world, Rad Rodgers and his foul-mouthed living game console Dusty
set out on a totally awesome quest inspired by ‘90s classics like Commander
Keen and Jazz Jackrabbit. Jump, run and gun across seven gorgeous,
vibrant levels filled with action. Rad wields wicked weapons like Bolt Blasters
and Phoenix Cannons to blast baddies. Dusty helps out by crossing into The
Pixelverse, a behind-the-scenes area that enables him to fix broken parts of
the game world.

Hyper Jam Takes Synthwave-fueled Combat to
PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC Today
Neon-Soaked Multiplayer Arena Brawler Now
Available
MELBOURNE, VIC. – 13
Feb, 2019 –Hyper Jam, the
neon-soaked arena brawler from Bit Dragon, invites all challengers to join the
fight now on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
Step into the ring and annihilate the competition with a combined arsenal of lethal weaponry and superpowers. Wield katanas, rocket launchers, crossbows, and other deadly arms in lightning-fast matches that support up to four players both locally and online with cross-platform matchmaking. Upgrade characters between rounds by drafting from a range of transformative perks that amplify one another, open up new strategies, and create destructive combinations.
Hyper Jam’s furious tempo rewards constant movement, but
mind the surroundings while dodging incoming attacks and pursuing enemies. Each
stage features environmental hazards, like the Miami hotel’s treacherous ledges
or Neo-Tokyo’s speeding subway trains, that can neutralize a player as quickly
as any weapon.
Once dispatched, a
fallen player can fire laser strikes at their living counterparts to finish
them off. They will also receive priority over the others when drafting perks
for the next round, giving underdogs an opportunity to come back after the
leaders with their preferred powerups. Winners will have to make do with
whatever is left – and to pull off an ultimate victory after reaching the score
limit, they will need to outlast everyone in one final round to become
champion.
“Hyper Jam has
been a labor of love for our team,” said Roman Maksymyschyn, Director, Bit
Dragon. “It combines our love of fast-paced multiplayer action and ‘80s
aesthetics into an incredible experience whether you’re looking for a party
game to enjoy casually with friends or something more strategic and seriously
competitive. No matter which camp you fall into, we hope you’ll give Hyper
Jam a go now that it’s available for consoles and PC.”
Drawing inspiration from
the ‘80s in more ways than one, Hyper Jam pairs its retrofuturistic
visuals with a killer synthwave soundtrack featuring familiar tracks from Carpenter Brut, Dance With the Dead, and
other favorites that echo the intense gameplay on-screen.
Hyper Jam is out now for $14.99 / €14.99 / $22.45 AUD across both PlayStation 4 and Xbox
One. On PC, the game is available for $12.99 / €10.79 / $18.50 AUD. Meanwhile, Steam users and North American PlayStation
