‘OVERKILL’s The Walking Dead’ Reveals Final Playable Hero: Heather

Starbreeze, Skybound Entertainment and 505 Games have released the final cinematic character trailer for OVERKILL’s The Walking Dead from developer OVERKILL – A Starbreeze Studio. This newest video, perhaps the most brutal yet, reveals Heather, a hardened scout who rounds out your squad as the fourth playable hero. A kindergarten teacher in her old life, Heather has had to learn the hard way that the difference between right and wrong isn’t so clear in a world where humanity struggles to survive against the undead.

Starbreeze has also announced that OVERKILL’s The Walking Dead will be playable for attendees at E3, June 12-14, at Booth 5200 in the West Hall of the Los Angeles Convention Center.

Inspired by Robert Kirkman’s original graphic novels, OVERKILL’s The Walking Dead is a four-player co-op multiplayer FPS in which players must band together on a variety of missions and raids to find survivors, secure supplies and stay alive. 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

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.

Be Your Own Hero in World of Tanks: Mercenaries on June 26

Wargaming takes its biggest franchise into the next phase of its evolution on PlayStation®4 and Xbox

June 7, 2018 — World of Tanks, the global phenomenon that has attracted over 250 million players to date across PC, mobile and console platforms, is going through a radical change on PlayStation®4 and Xbox as it evolves into World of Tanks: Mercenaries, the game’s largest expansion to date.

With the deployment of Update 4.5 on June 26, the Mercenaries will rise. World of Tanks: Mercenaries plunges the game into a radical new reality, where history has changed and rules mean nothing. Endless wars have left the world fractured, and in the vacuum of power left by the destabilization of global powers, soldiers and civilians are now fighting for themselves. Anyone can be their own hero in the age of Mercenaries, and World of Tanks: Mercenaries invites players across the globe to join the fight.

A brand new Mercenaries ‘nation’ and a full Tech Tree of never-before-seen vehicles will be introduced to the game, giving players the chance to work towards a fascinating armada of powerful vehicles, helmed by unique Mercenary crews. Tailored to the new characters’ traits and needs, the vehicles are comprised of parts scavenged from vehicles of different nations and brought together to create something truly original. Five vehicles will be available at launch, so too will the Mercenary nation grow over the weeks and months to come.

Players will be introduced to the alternate reality of World of Tanks: Mercenaries through a thrilling new PvE story campaign: The Heist. An action-packed tale of espionage, nuclear tensions, and adrenaline-fueled tank battles, this adventure follows a motley crew of Mercenaries contracted to set up, execute, and escape from a raid on a secret facility. Their mission is to steal nuclear material for a client who harbours his own atomic ambitions, but the crew soon find themselves at the mercy of the combined powers of the United States and the Soviet Union. Players can tackle this story alone (like a true Mercenary), or band together with a friend for co-operative online multiplayer action.

In addition to the new story campaign, Mercenaries will have a far-reaching impact across the entire game, with the addition of new maps to Multiplayer battles. Players can expect to explore and fight through an array of fan-favourite maps ravaged by war and time, with original Mercenary vehicles available to battle with or against the game’s existing roster of over 680 vehicles.

World of Tanks: Mercenaries is the future of World of Tanks on consoles. Players can expect more electrifying Mercenaries content in the future, with frequent updates occurring post-release.

“With ATLUS approaching its 5^th anniversary as part of the SEGA family, we’re delighted to finally have one unified stand at one of the most important gaming events of the year,” said John Clark, Executive Vice President of SEGA Europe. “We’re very excited to be showing the first romanticised Historical title in the Total War series alongside Team Sonic Racing on the very same booth as some of the most awaited Western releases of Japanese titles. I have no doubt that everyone will find something to their taste on the SEGA/ATLUS booth this year.”

“During the past year, we’ve seen a strong response from fans to key western releases in the Yakuza series and have heard their voices for more Valkyria Chronicles. As part of the wealth of IP owned by SEGA, it is our pleasure to bring Yakuza Kiwami 2 and Valkyria Chronicles 4 to fans at the show,” said Naoto Hiraoka, President and CEO of Atlus U.S.A., Inc. and Senior Vice President of Publishing for SEGA of America, Inc. “This E3 also represents an important moment for ATLUS as it nears its fifth year with SEGA, and as part of that, we will have something to announce very soon for the west.”
