VICTRIX TEAMS UP WITH CAPCOM FOR CAPCOM PRO TOUR 2018

VICTRIX TEAMS UP WITH CAPCOM FOR CAPCOM PRO TOUR 2018

San Diego, Calif. (March 15, 2018) – Pioneering esports hardware maker Victrix (www.victrixpro.com) has announced that the Victrix Pro AF™ ANC esports headset will be the official headset of the Capcom Pro Tour (CPT). As a platinum sponsor, Victrix Pro AF headsets will be featured on the main stages of the 19-stop CPT Premier Circuit for the 2018 season as professional fighting game players face off across the globe.

The partnership kicks off at CPT’s Final Round, which takes place March 16-18 at the Georgia International Convention Center in Atlanta, GA. The CPT is the premier league destination for competitive fighting games. Featuring Street Fighter® V: Arcade Edition, the latest flagship title of the legendary Street Fighter® series, CPT brings together players and spectators from all over the world to share their love of fighting games. Now Street Fighter® V players will get the opportunity to use the cutting-edge esports headset to secure their place at Capcom Cup 2018 for a prize pool worth over $600,000.

The Victrix Pro AF was inspired by aviation headsets and configured specifically for tournament pro’s needs. Professional players were invited to participate in a highly selective beta program, providing useful feedback for Victrix engineers and designers. The result is the Victrix Pro AF, an esports headset with many features never before seen in gaming.

  • Hybrid active noise canceling (ANC) system that employs four microphones backed by a powerful algorithm to actively listen and eliminate around 70% of the background noise, which rivals aviation grade headsets in noise cancellation performance.
  • Patent pending cooling mechanism that reduces heat and humidity levels instantly upon flip of levers in each earcup.
  • An in line controller inspired by aviation headsets but optimized for esports pros, allowing the user to adjust custom settings from volume to mic and gain to mic monitor levels via an elegant interface running on an OLED screen with ease.

“Every aspect of our product is optimized for the professional gamer’s needs. With our strong noise cancellation performance, players on CPT main stages will cancel out most of the crowd noise; helping them focus and hear every audible clue that matters,” says Ozhan “Oz” Maker, Victrix General Manager.
“We’re longtime fans of the FGC and the Capcom Pro Tour and can’t wait to show how our tech can make a positive difference for the community.”

Victrix Pro AF ANC, the flagship model featuring active noise cancelling, ships June 9 for $299.99. Pre-orders are available now at VictrixPro.com, and early adopters of the limited edition model receive $100 off while supplies last.

The Victrix Pro AF is only the first product in a new, high-end line of esports hardware coming from Victrix. Follow the company on twitter at @VictrixPro to stay on top of all of the exciting and game-changing products Victrix is bringing to the esports community.

The Crew 2’s New Release Date is June 29, 2018

Originally, The Crewwas supposed to launch on March 16th, but Ubisoft delayed the game last December to give Ivory Tower more time to polish the game. Ubisoft and Ivory Tower has finally settled on a release date of June 29, 2018. The game will launch on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Windows, with support for PlayStation 4 Pro.

Additionally, Ubisoft pulled back the curtains on the collector’s edition. The Crew 2 Motor Edition comes with the base game, the season pass, the “Motorsports Deluxe Pack,” a collectible The Crew 2 license plate, a Steelbook case, four stickers, and the official road map for the game.

The Motor Edition is an Ubisoft Store exclusive and is available for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Windows. The PC version comes as a surprise as PC collector’s editions with physical rewards have become a rarity in the last decade.

In the mean time, Ubisoft is inviting players back to The Crew to earn rewards for the new game. Every month will bring new challenges that will reward up to 19 vehicles in The Crew 2. Full details about the program is available at the official The Crew site.

New Tropico 6 Gameplay Trailer Revealed ahead of GDC 2018

Kalypso has released a brand new gameplay trailer of Tropico 6 for your viewing pleasure. Narrated by our great leader El Presidente, viewers will get a beautiful glimpse at the tropical paradise with some in-game footage of some of the newly added content like customized palaces and famed monuments.

The latest chapter in the long running management sim is increasing the scale of the game by introducing large archipelagos that will force players to split their attention between several large islands at a time. The transportation, infrastructure, and political systems have been revamped, offering players new options and more opportunities to keep the population happy or at least too terrified to defy El Presidente.

A new emphasis is also being placed on tourism. While the recent Tropico games has never taken itself too seriously, the game is going one step further by allowing El Presidente’s spies to steal monuments like the Eiffel Tower to bring back to Tropico to lure tourists.

Tropico 6 is scheduled to launch on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Linux, Mac, and Windows later in 2018.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider Announced for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Windows

Square Enix announced the next chapter of Lara Croft’s story will be titled Shadow of the Tomb Raider. The game is scheduled to simultaneously launch on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Windows on September 14, 2018. This will be the first Tomb Raider to launch on all major platforms at once since the franchise was rebooted, as Tomb Raider and Rise of the Tomb Raider were timed Xbox exclusives.

While the game launch is only six months away, Square Enix is being tight lipped with the details. A cinematic teaser trailer has been revealed showing Lara Croft running through a jungle while being pursued by an armed soldier. There is a short scene with Lara standing on top of a Mesoamerican pyramid, possibly hinting to Aztec or Mayan lore playing a major role in the new game. Square Enix is describing the game as the defining moment when Lara Croft becomes the Tomb Raider.

The full reveal is scheduled for April 27, 2018.
