DARK FANTASY RTS FROM FORMER EPIC GAMES AND MARVEL STUDIOS TALENT RELEASE BOOK II OF GOLEM GATES’ EPISODIC SINGLE-PLAYER CAMPAIGN

DARK FANTASY RTS FROM FORMER EPIC GAMES AND MARVEL STUDIOS TALENT RELEASE BOOK II OF GOLEM GATES’ EPISODIC SINGLE-PLAYER CAMPAIGN

Major Steam Update Featuring New Modes, Maps and Single- and Multiplayer Content Available Today for Free

APEX, NC (FEBRUARY 28, 2018)Laser Guided Games LLC — an independent developer made up of industry veterans from Epic Games — and Hollow Earth Inc., the studio responsible for character design in blockbuster Marvel films Black Panther, Spider-Man: Homecoming and the upcoming Avengers: Infinity War, today continues the episodic story campaign for their dark fantasy real-time strategy game Golem Gates for Windows PC. The Book II update, available today as a free update through Steam, expands the original lore-rich world of Golem Gates by introducing new characters and settings, in addition to unlocking new single- and multiplayer content.

The Harbinger’s quest for redemption continues with the release of Book II, the second part of Golem Gates’ three-part single-player story campaign. Under the guidance of The Archive, The Harbinger journeys deeper into his forsaken world in search of an artifact that could put a stop to the corrupting force known as the Unbound. Wielding the power to manipulate and command nanites pulled from the atmosphere — known as The Ash — The Harbinger and his legion of constructed golem advance to destroy the monolithic Golem Gates across five story missions. But a powerful new enemy awaits him: Tetra. Build and conquer to restore life to the world.

“Since we launched on Steam, fans have asked for more story content, so we’re excited to once again oblige,” said Josh Nizzi, Head of Hollow Earth Inc. “In Book II, The Harbinger is faced with numerous obstacles, one being a new enemy called Tetra. Players will have to prepare their best Glyphs before they confront this unique threat!”

Golem Gates launches in March, but we’re closing out February with a bang by releasing the biggest update to date,” said Matt Oelfke, Founder and Lead Developer at Laser Guided Games. “Not only will players dive deeper into the mysterious and captivating story of Golem Gates, but fans of competitive multiplayer and score-based challenges are in for a treat as well.”

Golem Gates is a hybrid strategy game where players collect cards (called Glyphs) and strategically weave them into a deck to prepare for battle. Battles are fast-paced and highly tactical with streamlined resource management to keep the focus on the unrelenting action. Through Steam Early Access players can take their glyph decks online in various competitive and cooperative multiplayer modes, and experience Golem Gate’s epic story in an episodic format.

In addition to continuing the story campaign, the Book II content update adds ten new single-player Trials of remixed missions and maps with unique challenges — including a frantic race to evade and destroy enemy artillery stations, and the capture of an indestructible golem. A new multiplayer Versus map featuring balconies and pathways perfect for flanking enemy units, and a co-op desert Survival map that challenges players to multitask numerous defensive positions, are both parts of the update as well. Players can additionally unlock new Glyphs — the summonable Duelist unit type and two Tech Glyphs — and incorporate them into their decks.

Key Features:

  • Dynamic Diversity: Create your own unique battle plan to counter your opponents with nearly 100 collectible card game inspired Glyphs, including units, buildings, traps, buffs, debuffs and techs, that provide nearly limitless strategy options.
  • Multiple Modes: Experience the evolving story of Golem Gates’ single-player campaign and take the fight online with friends in cooperative and survival-based modes.
  • May the RNG Gods Smile Upon You: Randomized Glyph drawing puts a slightly different spin on every battle by eliminating monotonous build sequences, while rewarding deck building mastery and strategic planning chops in equal measure.
  • Streamlined Strategy: Build and enhance your forces with Glyphs; no production or research buildings are needed. Capture resources in King of the Hill style skirmishes without dedicated gathering units and keep your focus where it belongs — on the battle.
  • Fight Where You Have Sight: Glyphs can be played almost anywhere you have an existing presence. Add more forces to a battle to turn the tide, transform a scouting party into an army, place emergency defenses to respond to the enemy or hide an outpost in a direction the enemy doesn’t expect. The choices are yours but beware: the enemy will do the same and with the right Glyph, your forces can be destroyed as quickly as they were created.

Golem Gates is a collaborative project developed by Laser Guided Games and Hollow Earth Inc. Laser Guided Games is made up of veterans from Epic Games who have worked on blockbuster game franchises such as Gears of War and Unreal Tournament. The Hollow Earth team specializes in art design and story development with past experience working on blockbuster Marvel films Spider-Man: Homecoming, the upcoming Avengers: Infinity War and the recently released Black Panther, in addition to the Transformers movie franchise.

The Thargoid story continues in Beyond – Chapter One. Following the recent alien attack on humanity’s starports, Chapter One sees the shape of the threat continuing to change as an enemy craft from long ago resurfaces ready to strike any daring pilots that cross its path.

In response to the rising alien threat a new Alliance/Lakon Spaceways ship – the Chieftain – takes to the skies in Chapter One. Designed to favour weapons and manoeuvrability over defence, this combat-oriented craft presents a new challenge for the Thargoids in the hands of capable pilots.

Commanders will also be able to uncover new clues about the mysterious Guardians, offering insight into this long-lost civilisation and their way of life. As Commanders assemble these pieces of information and artefacts they will be able to design and engineer new items and weapons that can deal impressive damage.

Pirates of the Caribbean: Tides of War Update for Lunar New Year

Pirates of the Caribbean: Tides of War Update for Lunar New Year

Seoul, South Korea – February 26, 2018 – Joycity’s hit game, Pirates of the Caribbean: Tides of War sails into the New Year with an update introducing new systems along with changes to existing game elements.

Traditionally, Pirates of the Caribbean: Tides of War featured 1-v-3 ship battles. In the New Year Update, this will change to everyone-versus-everyone! A real-time aspect will also be introduced in which players with higher rates of fire will be able to fire more frequently.

The New Year Update also introduces new Tacticians. Players will be able to select from a pool of 30 Tacticians, who can be enlisted by visiting Captain Jack Sparrow every 24 hours. Tacticians carry special talismans that empower ships with a variety of helpful elemental attributes, such as Fire, Water, Wind, Light, and Dark. Assign the Tacticians to your fleet and add a deeper layer of strategy to battle.

The Queen’s Secret Mission revamp is also included in the New Year Update, splitting the old missions system into two. Players will now be able to select between Secret and Urgent Missions.

More rewards will now be given out to players who reach certain levels, represented by crossed swords. Before the update, the combined numbers simply showed how strong the player was. In the New Year Update, players will now be rewarded upon reaching certain scores. The new rewards will start at 5 million points and will be spread over 20 different intervals up to 205 million points.

Other improvements include a Guide Book for new players, as well as refurbishing some shop elements. Also, the first Captain to attack each World Boss monster will now be rewarded.

Face the Perils of the Arctic Depths with a Partner in Co-Op Release of Debris

Face the Perils of the Arctic Depths with a Partner in Co-Op Release of Debris

Atmospheric, Narrative-Driven Game is 50% O For One Week

Hamilton, Ontario, Canada (February 26, 2018) — Dive with a friend to discover the hazards of a surreal world locked below Arctic sea ice in today’s launch of the highly-anticipated co-op mode for rst-person, narrative adven- ture game Debris from independent video game developer Moonray Studios. To celebrate our co-op release, Debris is discounted at 50% o for one week.

Following the soft launch of its single player campaign in October of 2017, Debris’ co-op mode has players scrambling to nd power for their lifesystems, defeat deadly creatures, and decipher what mysterious forces are attempt- ing to prevent them from escaping. Designed based on the challenges facing those a ected by psychosis and created with the help of medical profession- als, Debris explores the interplay between perception and reality in an uncon- ventional, narrative-driven co-op format. Players must negotiate each other’s choices as their realities drift further and further apart due to their own creep- ing psychosis.

“Co-op mode is the ultimate way to play Debris because it allows people to truly experience what it’s like to have psychosis,” said Dan Clark, Founder at Moonray Studios. “One person may hear or see something, while their friend may not and vice versa. With each delusion and reality, players won’t know who’s right, who’s wrong and what is really going on.”

Escape Together or Die Alone

Players are part of a small team sent to lm a promotional video for a ground-breaking discovery: meteoric debris embedded deep in Arctic ice that provides clean, hyper-e cient energy. Taking on the roles of either Ryan, the team’s videographer, or Sonya, a promising engineer and project leader, play- ers embark on a ght for survival in the murky depths of the Arctic Ocean.

Stranded at the bottom after a tragic accident, injured and running out of time, their only hope for survival is to reach the surface. But something else is going on. Things aren’t right, they don’t add up, and divers can’t help but speculate. Why is this happening?

Dive into:

A Mysterious Story that Leaves Players Questioning Everything

The story of Debris unfolds in the communication be- tween partners as they struggle to navigate and unravel why they’re trapped and how they can escape.

Multiple Endings Dramatically Impacted by Key Choices

An unconventional narrative co-op mode where a per- son’s partner matters and tensions are high. Three lives are in the balance. One has a light, one has a gun; one sees everything, one hears everything; one is lost, and one is stuck. But everyone thinks they know what’s real- ly going on. Each character is brought to life with living, breathing conversational dialogue.

Gameplay All About Time

Everything a player can do is tied to power, which counts down continuously. Debris is full of time depen- dent choices, the time they need, the time they lose and the time they are willing to spend.

A Unique Underwater Setting like Nothing Players Have Ever Seen

With 8 axes of movement (including buoyancy), divers glide through the Arctic labyrinth and quickly discover that their prison is home to strange bioluminescent ora and fauna, prey and predators of light and darkness.

As they ght their way to safety, players will need to gure out what’s behind this surreal world and their desperate situ- ation. Knowing will make all the di erence.
