GATHER WITH FRIENDS TO CONQUER THE TEMPORAL RIFT IN LINEAGE 2: REVOLUTION

New Dungeons, Equipment and Events Added in the Latest Content Update

Seoul, Korea (March 14, 2018) – Netmarble Games Corp., the fastest-growing mobile game company worldwide, has added new dungeons, equipment, events and more to their hit mobile MMORPG Lineage 2: Revolution.

In the latest game update, the brand-new party dungeon Temporal Rift will now be open for parties consisting of two to five players. Players will carry out strategic missions while unfolding story scenarios and will need to cooperate and strategize with one another to clear the dungeon. There are two maps in the Temporal Rift, Altar of Madness and Countess of Blood’s Boudoir, that will be available alternately every day, with guaranteed rewards such as Cloak Strengthening material and Monster Cores (Ramog Core and Trisha Core) for successfully completing a Temporal Rift. Players will also have the chance to randomly receive one Cloak, one Maphr’s Protection, Blessed Scrolls, and more.

A new Clan Dungeon, the Cruma Core Room will also be available for clans to attempt and defeat a new Magical Monster, the Cruma Core for various rewards. With various attack pattern of the boss monster, the difficulty level of the Cruma Core Room is higher than other Clan Dungeons and recommends players to be equipped with Magical Monster-specialized Equipment to defeat the Cruma Core.

A new equipment class, the Red Rare Equipment, has been added, which deals extra damage to Magical Monsters and reduces the damage taken from them. Specially made for PvE, the Red Rare Equipment contrasts with Blue Rare Equipment which are specialized for PvP.

Finally, a new Cloak item is now available for players to showcase their personality and allow them to receive additional effects and buffs. Cloaks are available when a player reaches level 75 and grant specific stats and effects depending on the type of Cloak. The Personal Cloak can be purchased in-game or by clearing the Temporal Rift, while the Clan Cloak can be acquired by registering into a clan or by creating one.

In celebration of these new changes, three new events will also begin starting today. The Conquer the Temporal Rift Event, which lasts until April 11, allows players to easily acquire a Cloak and materials to level-up the Cloak. The 7-Day Login Event, which lasts until March 28, gives players various rewards for logging in for seven consecutive days, where players can receive up to 800 Red Diamonds and Rare Monster Summoning Stones upon logging in for seven days straight. The Red Rare Equipment Draw Event, which lasts until April 4, will give players Blessed Scrolls used to strengthen their equipment every time they acquire a Red Rare Equipment.

“We’re excited to open the gates to the Temporal Rift and give players a brand new way to strategize, play together and earn rewards in Lineage 2: Revolution,” said Netmarble’s Chief Global Officer Seungwon Lee, “We’re always looking for new ways to encourage our players to cooperate together and look forward to seeing them work together to conquer the challenges ahead.”

The update will also bring enhanced in-game features, including the UI enhancements in the Monster Summoning Stone Dungeon, which makes it easier for the players to enter the dungeon by separating the menu from other dungeons and removing the need to go through the Inventory to summon monsters. Moreover, the Inventory has been expanded to 500 slots.

Lineage 2: Revolution is available worldwide on the App Store® and Google Play™.

AMSTERDAM – March 14, 2018 – Good Shepherd Entertainment has revealed it will publish independent developer SuperScarySnakes’ synth-punk 2D roguelike action shooter Black Future ‘88 later this year on Windows PC and Mac.

Black Future ‘88’s neon-lit retro-future style paints a dark alternate history of a world reeling from a nuclear cataclysm created by Duncan, the tower architect. The first of his bombs fell in 1988, blacking out the sun with perpetual rain; it’s been 1988 ever since. Now the only time that matters is measured in minutes left to live. As one of the last remaining survivors, fight your way to the top of the tower to kill Duncan before your heart explodes.

Climb an evolving procedural tower through a merciless onslaught of fire, lasers and steel. Shoot, slash and dash to overcome deadly traps, homicidal AI, crazed junkies and colossal boss-grade Wardens. Choose one of five playable characters, each with their own unique powers, then upgrade your renegade with a selection of dozens of brutal weapons and special buffs/curses to survive. Test your wits and reflexes alone or with a friend in two-player couch co-op, and measure your mettle against other players by tackling daily challenges with unique attributes to climb the global leaderboard.

Steam: http://store.steampowered.com/app/751820/Black_Future_88

Black Future ‘88’s anarchic ascent for revenge is scored with a killer analog-synth original soundtrack from post-punk new-wave band Tremor Low.

Action Sidescroller Blazing Chrome Coming This Year from Newly Formed Division at Publisher Dotemu, The Arcade Crew

French Publisher Dotemu Revealed its Dedicated Publishing Label Today as part of the Company’s Expansion and Rebrand

PARIS – March 14^th, 2018 – Dotemu (Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap, Windjammers) announced an entirely new division of its company today – The Arcade Crew (www.thearcadecrew.com). The new division is dedicated to producing and publishing new titles from small creative teams and is poised to release its first game this year – Blazing Chrome, a sidescrolling action game from Brazilian developer Joymasher (www.blazingchrome.com).

In Blazing Chrome, militant AI-fueled computers rule the Earth while humans are expendable, lacking power, prestige or status among their machine overlords. Choose to play as Mavra, a super badass human resistance soldier, or Doyle, the equally groovy and deadly insurgent robot. When a small group of rebels decide to overthrow their oppressors, it results in heavy casualties and a ton of lock-and-load fast-paced action where scrapping robots and blazing chrome with your powerful weapons is the only thing standing between you and your freedom.

Blazing Chrome is inspired by classics like Metal Slug and Contra and will be on display at the Game Developer’s Conference next week in the GDC Play area, Wednesday through Friday, during show floohours. The game will also be at GDC MIX (981 Mission St. in SF) on March 19^th. The fast-paced run-and-gun title will launch in 2018 and represents the style and approach The Arcade Crew plans for all its titles.

“The Arcade Crew capitalizes on an existing framework of development and production within Dotemu but retains a different strategy of focusing on producing and publishing new games, whereas Dotemu will retain its core strategy of reviving loved and known franchises from the past,” said CEO Cyrille Imbert.

“The Arcade Crew’s team has full access to the resources at Dotemu which have allowed us a track record of success with our projects like Wonder Boy and Windjammers. The Arcade Crew will harness the existing experience, passion and infrastructure at Dotemu and integrate it with the creative fire of small development teams – the result will be polished, awesome games with a retro feel that people can pick up and enjoy, just like the games we grew up with.”

The Arcade Crew has plans for several more announcements as the company moves through 2018, but will retain a selective portfolio with less than a handful of releases planned for each calendar year.

“We’re more than marketing and QA,” said Arnaud De Sousa, director at The Arcade Crew. “Our team’s framework allows us to fully integrate into the creative teams on these games, offering production support and also additional art, animation and programming support for areas that our creative leads may need assistance with – that’s a major benefit to helping these artists realize their ultimate vision for their project.”

The Arcade Crew plans to aggressively support all its titles on a global level in 2018, with planned appearances at all major shows including GDC, PAX, E3 and gamescom. Look for more Arcade Crew updates on the official Twitter handle @TheArcadeCrew and on Facebook (facebook.com/thearcadecrew), or at their official website: www.thearcadecrew.com.
