MECHANICAL MAYHEM COMES TO FINAL FANTASY XIV ONLINE WITH NEW RIVAL WINGS PVP ENCOUNTER

And Musical Mastery Awaits with New Bard Action ‘Perform’!

Sydney, Australia – November 22, 2017 – A fresh and frantic challenge has arrived in FINAL FANTASY® XIV Online with the addition of an intense new PvP encounter. Released alongside Patch 4.15, the new Rival Wings mode sees two teams, each containing 24 players, duke it out across a goblin-crafted arena in a bid for territorial supremacy.

To secure victory, the teams will begin by having to destroy their opponent’s towers, aided by waves of automatons periodically released by the goblins. After achieving this, the shield around the opposing core will drop, making it vulnerable to attack! Throughout the battle, there’ll also be opportunities to collect precious Ceruleum – gather enough, and players will be able to power up and pilot a range of mighty machina lying dormant on the battlefield … 

Even more excitingly, Rival Wings is available to anyone playing the FINAL FANTASY XIV Free Trial, which allows anyone to access all available content up to level 35, create up to eight playable characters, and experience the different playable races, classes, and jobs with no restrictions on playtime. New players who wish to experience the free trial may register here: http://freetrial.finalfantasyxiv.com/.

If the prospect of fierce combat doesn’t appeal, however, Patch 4.15 also brings a much more sedate offering in the form of the new Bard action ‘Perform’. With harp in hand, Bards across Hydaelyn will be able to make the hills come alive with the sound of music.

Finally, there’s no rest for the wicked – Season 5 of competitive PvP mode The Feast may have drawn to a close recently, but today’s launch of Patch 4.15 marks the start of Season 6, which’ll run until the release of Patch 4.2. Adventurers are invited to enter the arena and climb through the ranks in order to earn fierce new armour and weapons of war!

ESCAPE TO THE SUN IN EURO FISHING’S “LE LAC D’OR” DLC FROM DOVETAIL GAMES

CHATHAM, Kent – Nov. 21, 2017 – Winter is coming… but you don’t have to stay stuck indoors because of the weather. You can banish the festive blues by escaping to a gorgeous log cabin in the sunny French countryside courtesy of “Le Lac d’Or,” the latest DLC for Euro Fishing from Dovetail Games.

Surrounded by picturesque woodland and forest, this 25-acre venue is home to some of the largest fish seen in Euro Fishing to date. Lake records for Le Lac d’Or show that a 71lb carp and 126lb catfish are among some of the monsters that have been plucked from its waters, giving you the chance to break those records by hauling in enormous fish of your own. For the first time ever, Euro Fishing fans can also catch koi carp, a challenge that will push their fishing skills in exciting new ways.

It might look tranquil but don’t be fooled – “Le Lac d’Or” is a test for any serious angler.

“We’re really proud of what the team has achieved with ‘Le Lac d’Or,’” said Mark Greenway, Euro Fishing director at Dovetail Games. “Not only is it a fantastic holiday venue, with its log cabins and lush countryside, but the enormous fish will provide a challenge every angler will relish. We can’t wait to see if anyone catches the lake’s records and how they fare against the koi carp!”

The “Le Lac d’Or” DLC will be available on Tuesday, Nov. 21, on Windows PC, the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system and Xbox One for $10.99. However, if saving money is your thing, at the same time as launching “Le Lac d’Or,” Dovetail Games will release a new season pass featuring three DLC items, the first DLC being “Le Lac d’Or,” followed by two more DLCs to follow early in 2018. You can purchase the season pass for $24.99, saving $7.98 over the cost of the three individual DLCs altogether.

Dracula Sets New World’s Record for Most Valuable Movie Poster: $525,800 at Heritage Auctions

Rare, 1931 Dracula rarity is one of two examples known to exist

EXCLUSIVE VIDEO

• World’s Rarest Dracula Movie Poster: One of Two Known to Exist

DALLAS, Texas (Nov. 20, 2017) – One of just two surviving movie posters for the 1931 horror classic Dracula set a world record for the most valuable movie poster ever sold at auction when it brought $525,800 Saturday, Nov. 18, in a public auction held live and online by Heritage Auctions.

The poster surpassed the previous auction record of $478,000 which was also set (twice) by Heritage Auctions. Heritage had just sold the only known surviving Italian issue movie poster from 1946 for Casablanca in July 2017, which matched their own previous world record from November 2014 for an only-known 1927 copy of the poster for London After Midnight.

This particular poster style from Dracula depicts the menacing visage of actor Bela Lugosi, who transformed the character into the now-famous Universal Monster. Recently discovered in the San Diego, California, collection of a noted film historian, collectors and experts consider it one of the most desirable horror movie posters ever produced.

The family of its longtime owner, Lt. Col. George J. Mitchell, Jr., an Associate Member of the American Society of Cinematographers, placed the poster up for auction. Mitchell had owned the poster since the 1950s.

“The reason my dad purchased the poster is because he loved horror films. He was drawn to the Bela Lugosi poster because it brought back childhood memories of seeing the film when it was first released,” Mitchell’s son, Arthur Mitchell said. “He remembered going to the theater … and remembered that there was an ambulance stationed in the lobby, in case anyone was so scared they needed medical attention.”

The elder Mitchell was a longtime cinematographer and photographer, who after World War II and a 20-year career in the U.S. Army, started a small film production company in San Diego, and did video work for AFL and NFL Films, the San Diego Zoo and training films for assorted branches of the military.

“It is a matter of opinion, but this poster probably is the most beautiful of all of the styles,” Heritage Auctions Vintage Posters Director Grey Smith said, “and one of only two styles that pictures Bela Lugosi in realistic terms or a faithful rendering – the other is a photographic image.”
