HELP SAM FIND THE TRUTH AND UNVEIL BASSWOOD’S SECRETS IN UPCOMING PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER GAME, TWIN MIRROR

HELP SAM FIND THE TRUTH AND UNVEIL BASSWOOD’S SECRETS IN UPCOMING PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER GAME, TWIN MIRROR

Thriller serves as BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment America Inc.’s first foray into narrative adventure genre

SANTA CLARA, Calif., (June 8, 2018) – Leading interactive entertainment developer and publisher BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment America Inc. today announces the psychological thriller TWIN MIRRORTM, officially marking the publisher’s first foray into the Narrative Adventure genre. TWIN MIRROR is slated to release in 2019 for the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, Xbox One and STEAM® for PC.

Developed by DONTNOD Entertainment, the studio behind the critically-acclaimed LIFE IS STRANGETMTWIN MIRROR  showcases a player-driven experience featuring a malleable narrative that chronicles the journey of a tormented hero who must walk a tightrope between the harsh realities of the film noir-esque Basswood, West Virginia and its dark secrets, and his own personal struggle.

TWIN MIRROR is a game heavily rooted in the concept of duality, redemption and self-acceptance and is on track to deliver a stunning emotional journey,” said Oskar Guilbert, CEO for DONTNOD. “While we were scripting the player’s investigations within the game, we suddenly found ourselves researching just how far the limits of the Narrative Adventure genre could be pushed in the real world. When the dust settled, all evidence pointed towards TWIN MIRROR  being a genre-re-defining experience. Now, we can’t wait to see how the players react when all the pieces of their investigation fall into place within the game.”

Players will assume the role of Sam, a 33-year-old investigative journalist who suffered a harsh breakup he’s desperately trying to overcome, returning home to bury an old friend. As Sam wakes up one morning in his motel room with a bloody shirt and no memories of his whereabouts the previous night, he embarks on a thrilling investigation to find the truth, with his mind as his only weapon. TWIN MIRROR offers the ability to dive into Sam’s painful memories to personally and uniquely shape the investigation through a series of gut-wrenching choices, each bringing the player one step closer to discovering both the truth, and Sam’s place in the world.

“Now more than ever, gamers are seeking out narrative journeys that not only progress the story in a particular direction but force them to make difficult moral decisions that impact the outcome in real, dramatic ways,” said Eric Hartness, Vice President of Marketing for BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment America Inc.

TWIN MIRROR is our first entry into the world of Narrative adventures, and by partnering with the creative artists at DONTNOD, we are working to create a title that not only meets and exceed the high standard they’ve set but forms the foundation for new and compelling narrative adventures in the years to come,” added Hervé Hoerdt, Vice President of Marketing & Digital for BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment Europe.

TWIN MIRROR will be available in 2019 for the PlayStation®4 system, Xbox One, and STEAM for PC. TWIN MIRROR is currently pending a final rating with the ESRB.

Use stealth to evade enemies tactically, or dismember walkers limb from limb with brute force and firepower. Each playable character has their own special abilities, skill trees, squad roles, play styles and background stories, including the heavy-hitting Aidan, surgeon-turned-survivor Maya, and Grant, the grizzled frontiersman searching for his family.

OVERKILL’s The Walking Dead is expected to launch this fall on the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, Xbox One and Windows PC. For more information, visit www.overkillsthewalkingdead.com, and follow the game on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Instagram.

TOM CLANCY’S RAINBOW SIX® SIEGE OPERATION PARA BELLUM IS NOW AVAILABLE

TOM CLANCY’S RAINBOW SIX® SIEGE OPERATION PARA BELLUM IS NOW AVAILABLE

Explore the All-New Expansive Italian Villa Map Today

SYDNEY, Australia — June 8, 2018 — Ubisoft® has announced that Operation Para Bellum is now available on Playstation®4 computer entertainment system, Xbox One and Windows PC. Operation Para Bellum is one of the largest content updates ever released for Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six®  Siege, introducing two new defending operators, Alibi and Maestro, alongside an all new map, Villa, set in the Italian countryside. Year Three Season Two also brings a slew of significant game updates, including a new intel gadget, operator speed adjustments, bulletproof cameras, and the all new Pick & Ban setting: a feature that evolves the way players engage with multiplayer. Year 3 Pass owners will unlock the two new operators instantly. Remaining players will be able to unlock the new content next week using Renown or R6 Credits.

Tour the Villa

The land belongs to the Vinciguerra, a dangerous crime family known for their smuggling activities. The house is their retreat, where they lead a lavish lifestyle and collect rare art pieces. Players will catch Villa in a snapshot in time: Vinciguerras are burning documents and transporting their holdings before the big raid. But they’ve got wind of Operation Para Bellum and fled, leaving everything in disarray with vital information ready for the taking.

Two New G.I.S. Operators

In Operation Para Bellum, two Italian G.I.S. Operators join Rainbow as the unit raids a luxurious Tuscan villa, Rainbow Six Siege’s 19th map.

New operator, Alibi, is a cunning adversary with a gift for infiltrating dense networks of organised crime. Alibi is notable for her Prisma which projects holograms identical to Alibi in an idle position. If you shoot or touch the holograms, you’ll be marked and pinged for the next few seconds. If Prisma is deployed outside, a false “Defender Outside” warning is triggered for Attackers. To add an element of surprise, Prisma conceals the identity of any Defender who ventures outside. Any bullet, melee, or explosives damages Prisma, and will shoot through the hologram. Be careful not to stand too close.

New Operator, Maestro, is another member of the Italian, Gruppo di Intervento Speciale (G.I.S.) and participated in joint operations in Iraq, earning a facial scar from a roadside IED. Maestro uses a remote-controlled turret firing high-energy laser beams. Once affixed to the floor or wall, Maestro can use remote-surveillance to provide overwatch in a location through the swivel-mounted camera. When the camera device breaks open to fire a laser beam the core is exposed to damage. Otherwise, the turret is unaffected by bullets and melee. Lastly, Evil Eye can see through smoke.

Operation Para Bellum introduces the all-new Pick & Ban system. This feature provides an extra layer of strategy between teams, as each side tries to counter their opponents’ picks during the banning phase.  Players can even anticipate a thrilling twist at the last moment, when teams swap Operators for the unexpected 6th Pick. Pick & Ban will be available in Custom games.

Major Game Updates

  • Deloyable Bullet Proof Cameras
  • New Counter Defuser Animation
  • Dropshotting  Adjustments
  • New Observation Tool Management
  • Operator Speed Adjustments
  • Echo Buff
  • Clubhouse Map Buff
  • Discovery Playlist

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 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.
