RULE THE SKIES WITH WARFRAME’S NEW ZEPHYR PRIME, AVAILABLE NOW

Independent Canadian developer and publisher Digital Extremes has uncaged Zephyr Prime, the Warframe® Prime Access version of the airborne avian of destruction, available today on Steam PC, PlayStation®4, and Xbox One. Concentrating on air attacks, mobility, and strategizing combat from a bird’s eye view, Zephyr Prime is a more powerful version of the standard Zephyr Warframe. Agile and graceful, the beautiful Zephyr is in her element while bending air currents, dash-gliding through the air, and bewildering enemies with stunning dive-bombs from above.

The Prime Access program introduces new Prime Warframes players can unlock instantly by purchasing a Prime Access Pack, or by earning and crafting for free in-game through the Relic system.

• Get Zephyr Prime here: www.warframe.com/prime-access

Arm yourself with Zephyr’s unique Prime weapons and slay enemies from above.

With Zephyr Prime Access, Tenno not only gain access to one of the more uncommon Warframes, Zephyr Prime, they also get access to:

• Zephyr Prime Glyphs: Players can strut their stuff with all-new Glyphs!
• Tiberon Prime Rifle: Art meets ingenuity with this beautifully deadly rifle.
• Kronen Prime: Ancient blades, perfected for today’s combat.
• Zephyr Prime Accessories:
  • Commodore Prime Suit: Players can take command with this regal Operator Suit.
  • Tibor Prime Armor: Direct your pet Kavat to strike fear into enemies with this striking golden armor.
  • Tibor Prime Gene-Masking Kit: Complement your Kavat’s Tibor Armor with an elegant Primed Gene-Mask.
  • BONUS: Kavat Incubator Segment and Kavat Starter Kit.

Zephyr wields four powerful Abilities, some of which were upgraded during the February re-balance updates. Those include: Tailwind, an airborne hover dash that can transform into a dive bomb. Tail Wind now costs half as much energy when cast in the air while doing more damage, and each enemy hit increases Tail Wind damage by 25% (damage resets upon landing). Dive Bomb also now fires on slight angles, as long as players are looking mostly down; Airburst, a massively dense burst of air that explodes on contact, sending enemies flying (and can combine with Tornado for extra effects); Turbulence, which creates a wind shield that deflects enemy projectiles; and Tornado, which Zephyr casts to create a barrage of deadly wind tunnels, sucking enemies in and leaving them defenseless.

Customise your vehicle, utilise devastating weapons and exploit a destructible environment to ensure not only victory, but the complete annihilation of your opponents.

“We’re very excited to finally announce our partnership with Wired Productions today,” said Chris Mallinson, Game Director at Caged Element. “GRIP began as a passion project paying tribute to the great Rollcage games and racers of a past era, but it’s now truly transformed into a fully-fledged, futuristic combat racer fit for this generation. We’re extremely proud of the game and can’t wait to unleash it later this year on all platforms.  Combat racing is back, baby.”

“As long-standing fans of Rollcage and the combat racing genre, we’re delighted to sign GRIP and to build our partnership with the incredible team at Caged Element,” said Leo Zullo, Managing Director at Wired Productions. “Born from passion and nostalgia, driven by great minds and taking full advantage of the latest capabilities in both engine and hardware, GRIP is a racer with limitless horsepower and the title to keep your eye on this year.”

GRIP will make its US debut this week at the Game Developers Conference (GDC) in San Francisco, in South Hall, Booth #1023 (in the UKIE area of the show) and will be available for consumers to get hands on for the first time at PAX East, Booth #20031 (Boston, USA) and EGX Rezzed (London, UK).

SKY NOON PRESENTS THE AIR POWERED ARSENAL OF THE REIMAGINED WILD WEST

Saddle Up for the Closed Beta This April and Join the Official Discord Channel Launching Today

Independent game developer Lunar Rooster and indie games partner Reverb Triple XP have released today an all new trailer for their reimagined western Sky Noon that showcases all of the various weapons and tools that are at player’s disposal. From the huge AOE blast of the “Jail Breaker” Hand Cannon, to the automatic fire of the “Road Runner” Machine Pistol, there’s a weapon for every player’s style in Sky Noon. But remember pardner – in this first person action brawler, these guns aren’t equipped with bullets! They all hold powerful rounds of compressed air bursts perfectly suitable for blasting opponents off the floating islands!

Gamers ready to cowboy up into Sky Noon are in luck! Reverb Triple XP will be taking sign-ups to a special Closed Beta that will take place this April. Please sign-up HERE to take part in the Sky Noon Closed Beta and stay tuned for more details on the official Sky Noon Discord channel.

Wooah Nelly, that’s right! The Official Sky Noon Discord Channel also launches today and gamers should join the Sky Noon posse for future news on the game, social events, and giveaway promotions: discord.gg/skynoon

Some of the rip-roaring weapons and tools featured in Sky Noon:

• Machine Pistol aka Road Runner: Target other players with endless bursts of air as the Machine Pistol is fully equipped to handle a large quantity of air rounds.
• Shotgun aka Typhoon: The range of the Shotgun may be short, but with a wide spread shooting capacity, players will be able to efficiently take down their opponents.
• Revolver aka Ol’ Faithful: For the player who has dreamed of being a western sharp shooter ala John Wayne, the Revolver is the perfect weapon to pick off your enemies with precision.
• Hand Cannon aka Jail Breaker: The Hand Cannon is the gun for players who want to send their opponents blasting off into the clouds with a powerful BOOM!
• Grappling Hook aka…The Lifeline: Players can use the grappling hook to latch onto buildings, crates, or the floating islands themselves to save themselves from being eliminated!

Sky Noon takes place in a reinvented Wild West universe where the frontier floats among the clouds. Powerful cartels crave to control the most precious resource in the West: water. Players take the role of hired gunslingers that battle opposing fighters across floating islands in the sky. There are no health meters in Sky Noon; instead, to eliminate enemies, players use various super-power compressed air weapons to send them flying out of their boot spurs! Grappling hooks and lassos must constantly be used to prevent players from falling off into the great blue sky. Combined with other items like steam-powered jetpacks, jump pads, and teleporters, cowboys need to be quick on the draw and light on their boots in the fast-paced, aerial mayhem of Sky Noon.

Sky Noon will be launching on Steam Early Access in Q2 2018. Cowboys looking to join the gang should follow the game development on Twitter, “Like” us on Facebook, connect on Discord, and visit the official site, SkyNoonGame.com.

‘Pieces of Hate’ brings the pirates’ story to a close, while the introduction of deep-sea fishing casts a hook for players looking to net their ‘99’ Fishing skill.

Tuesday 20^th March 2018, Cambridge, UK – RuneScape returns to the high seas today, launching Pieces of Hate, the epic finale to one of the MMORPG’s longest running stories. The concluding voyage of the 13-year old pirate quest series challenges players as they dive into the depths of underwater expeditions, conquer sea monsters, and battle zombie pirates, and is released just two weeks after RuneScape introduced deep-sea fishing into the game for the first time.

In addition to tying up the loose ends of the pirates’ tale, Pieces of Hate contributes to the foundations of RuneScape’s next five years of rich narratives and immersive adventures. The new quest invites skilled players to plunder its riches, including an upgrade to the Book o’Piracy, which allows players to teleport across various locations throughout Gielinor and can be recharged using rum (of course!).

RuneScape has also made sure players have a whale of a time with the launch of deep-sea fishing, an all-new offshore hub to the game. Available to adventurers with at least level 68 Fishing, players can cast their nets and catch a whole variety of surprises, from jellyfish to great whites, and reel in that fishing XP to gain extra rewards. Only the bravest of buccaneers who dare travel farther out to sea will bag the most valuable loot, but they will also face the greatest dangers.

Dave Osborne, Lead Designer, RuneScape, said:

“It’s really astonishing to have reached the end of the pirates’ tale after 13 years, so we’re thrilled that our players can experience the concluding events in Pieces of Hate. The team has worked hard to deliver an exciting end to the story, especially to those waiting since 2005, and we can’t wait to build on it as part of our narrative arcs for the next five years. The recent launch of deep-sea fishing has already enticed the greatest fishers from across Gielinor to experience the new activity hub; it’s a great way to level up the skill and it’s so rewarding to see our players agree!”

Treasure your Sea of Thieves adventures forever with custom pirate shanty

Xbox ANZ recruits Australian pirate band to create personalised shanties for local players

To celebrate the release of the hotly anticipated, shared-world pirate adventure “Sea of Thieves” on Tuesday, March 20^th, exclusively on Xbox One and Windows 10, Xbox ANZ has worked with Australian pirate band Captain Hellfire & The Wretched Brethren to create the world’s first ‘Sing us a Shanty’ service.

As part of the service, everyday Australians and New Zealand fans will be able to get their very own pirate shanties while they play online via Xbox Live with the band. The shanties will be broadcast live via Mixer, Facebook and Twitch during the weekend after launch for others to join in with the adventure.

Taking place on March 24^th and 25^th, the Sing us a Shanty service will be offered on a ticketed first-come, first-serve basis for fans. Each pirate shanty will be personalised to the unique adventures and stories created by gamers in the “Sea of Thieves” multiplayer world. The sessions will also be broadcast live across the Xbox ANZ Mixer, Facebook and Twitch channels on Saturday and Sunday, from 10:00AM till 06:00PM AEDT.

Keep an eye on the Xbox ANZ Facebook page for more details on how to book your Sing us a Shanty session via Eventbrite.

Jeremy “Harbinger” Hinton, Captain of Xbox Australia, said: “’Sea of Thieves’ is already such an immersive game by design, so it’s only fitting we give fans the chance to get their very own shanties from a real-life pirate band. We’re really looking forward to seeing and hearing the tales of adventure on high seas, shanties and treasured stories created between players and the band.”

With “Sea of Thieves”, you can join your friends, assemble your crew and become a Pirate Legend, and Xbox Play Anywhere and cross-play ensure you’ll be sailing with friends regardless of your platform of choice.

For a lucky few, their voyages will be accompanied by the dulcet tones of their very own pirate shanties describing their adventures, courtesy of Captain Hellfire and the Wretched Brethren.

“Sea of Thieves” is developed by Rare and is now available to play as part of Xbox Game Pass or from the Microsoft Store and all good retailers including JB Hi-Fi, EB Games and Harvey Norman.
