Digital Extremes has unveiled the newest member of their Prime Access pack, Zephyr Prime. The shiny bird of destruction has improved stats over its original Zephyr Warframe and it’s available on Steam PC, PlayStation®4, and Xbox One. With a focus on mobility, speed and powerful air attacks, Zephyr Prime comes with a deadly Kronen Prime tonfas and a Tiberon Prime burst rifle. Depending on the selected Prime bundle, this deadly package also includes goodies such as Commodore Prime Suit as well as some exclusive cosmetics for your Kavat pet.
Also, important to note that we’re only a few months away from their annual Tennocon, with some tickets still being available here. Considering that last year’s Tennocon marked the reveal of a great Plains of Eidolon open world area, I can’t wait to see what kind of surprise have planned for us this time.
Kongregate’s newest mobile title has a nice Ring to it…
SAN FRANCISCO, March 28, 2018 – Kongregate, a leading publisher of mobile, PC, and web games, teams up with Spanish indie studio Codigames to launch Heroes of Rings: Dragons War, the turn-based, free-to-play RPG, on iOS & Android devices.
Heroes of Rings: Dragons War starts players on an amazing 3D island, tasked with saving the world from evil creatures intent on destroying the Pillars of Creation. The turn-based RPG is driven by a compelling Hero collection structure and unique battle system. Players will develop complex strategies based on the Heroes they use, their skills, and the turns remaining until the enemies attack. Each Hero is customizable with “Rings,” special items that can be upgraded and combined to unleash a Hero’s true potential. Players can participate in Arenas and Raids to win resources and fame, and challenging monthly and weekly events complement the intense and engaging PVP modes.
“They’ve built gorgeous characters, stylized in a way that really demonstrates the ’90s cartoons that influenced them,” said Mael Novat, Kongregate producer, “from the eccentric mix of animals, humans and technology to the quality of the animations and bold colors. Whether you are in the middle of an enchanted forest or a Japanese temple, their unique style gives a magical vibe to the universe.”
Heroes of Rings: Dragons War also provides support for augmented reality — players can watch their battles unfold in front of them. Thanks to Apple’s ARKit, players can become a part of the action, move in between their characters and experience the game from a new point of view.
“Heroes of Rings will be our seventh game since the company was born in 2013,” said Francisco Martínez, CEO at Codigames. “Heroes of Rings’ game modes are based on learnings from those games. All the visual details and careful attention to battle mechanics are a direct result from the love born in those games.”
Players can download the game for free on Android and iOS today and find additional information about the game on the official Facebook and Twitter accounts.

Make Your PC Dreams a Reality as PC Building Simulator is Out Now on Steam
Build and grow your very own computer repair enterprise as you learn to diagnose, fix and build PCs with real-world licensed components.
LONDON – March 27, 2018 – UK-based independent game publisher, The Irregular Corporation, is delighted to announce that PC Building Simulator is out now on Steam Early Access.
The demo, originally created by Claudiu Kiss enjoyed viral success in 2017 and was the 3rd most downloaded free Itchi.io title that that year. It has now been lovingly developed into a fully-fledged simulation to allow players to learn and build the PC of their dreams.
In PC Building Simulator, players can create their own PC empire in career mode. From simple diagnosis and repairs to bespoke, boutique creations that any gamer would love to have, the sky’s the limit. With an ever-expanding marketplace full of real-world and realistically priced components you can finally stop dreaming of that ultimate PC and get out there, construct it in Free Build mode and see how it performs.
Hardware manufacturers such as MSI, CORSAIR, COOLER MASTER, EVGA, NZXT, ARCTIC, SILVERSTONE, RAIJINTEK, TEAM GROUP LTD and more have allowed true-to-life models of their products to be included. More partners will be added throughout the game’s early access period and beyond. In addition to the hardware partners, PC Building Simulator have also teamed up with Futuremark so players can benchmark their in-game systems using a simulation of 3DMark.
Fans can gain early access to PC Building Simulator on Steam for £14.99/$19.99/€19.99. As this is launching via Early Access, more content will be added throughout this time and players are encouraged to provide feedback on their experiences when possible.

THE SWORDS OF DITTO REVEALS LOCOROCO CROSSOVER QUEST
– Preorder on PS4 & PC and Get 20 Percent Off Before April 24 Launch –
Independent developer onebitbeyond, SIE Studios Japan, and Devolver Digital have revealed a PS4-exclusive LocoRoco crossover quest in The Swords of Ditto. The upcoming adventure RPG / roguelite hybrid is available to preorder now on PlayStation 4 and PC with 20 percent off the $19.99 price up until the April 24 launch [http://theswordsofditto.com].
The special quest will task intrepid adventurers with entering a secret cave and wrangling up all the loose LocoRocos while defending themselves from the classic Moja Troop baddies. Complete with familiar music, sound effects, and even singing, any triumphant heroes will find themselves with a truly worthy reward!
The Swords of Ditto creates a series of unique, compact adventures for a new hero every 100 years in a seemingly never-ending struggle against the evil Mormo. Players will awaken as one of the chosen adventurers and wield the legendary sword of the land through a dangerous and ever-changing overworld, diabolical dungeons, and secret lairs, ascending Mormo’s tower to face off with the evil witch herself. Retrieve powerful new toys, slap on perk stickers, and complete side quests to fill out your inventory as each new run is different from the last.
The only constant is the sword itself, as experience and power gained for the sword in each adventure carries over to the hero’s successor. Take down Mormo and the world is a happier, brighter place, but failure puts Ditto and its poor citizens into a dark, crumbling version of their world. Make this journey alone or invite a fellow champion for local cooperative play on both PlayStation 4 and PC.
The Swords of Ditto developer onebitbeyond was created by former creative director at Curve Studios Jonathan ‘Bidds’ Biddle and boasts a roster of top game development veterans thrilled to work on their first project together. Based out of London, onebitbeyond have been working on The Swords of Ditto since late 2015 and will be demoing the game at PAX East 2018 in April.
Excited adventurers can follow the game’s progress and latest news as theswordsofditto.com or @onebitbeyond on Twitter.
