The Czech and Polish editions are enhanced with an amazing artbook with some of Tomasz Strzałkowski’s best concept art.
Inner Chains is a FPS horror game set in a dark, surreal, and deadly biomechanical world that resembles nothing you have ever encountered. In the world of Inner Chains, you don’t get to set the rules. You are just a small part of a hostile, unwelcoming universe. If you want to survive, the only thing you can do is to try to discover its secrets.

As one of the inhabitants of this world, your head is filled with the teachings of the Ruling Caste. You have only one goal: to get to a mythical place called the Last Hope and leave this sick, degenerated, dying planet once and for all. You embark on your journey full of fanatical zeal, but soon it becomes clear that nothing is what it seems in this strange world. To discover your role in it, you’ll have to fight for survival, face hostile fauna and flora, overcome your own weaknesses, remain vigilant to your surroundings, and explore the secrets of the game’s world. Your survival depends entirely on your watchfulness, logical judgment, quick reflexes, accuracy, and your ability to use your surroundings to your advantage.

Forgotten ruins and caves in the mountains, a dangerous forest where both flora and fauna lie in wait to attack you, and numerous religious sites and majestic temples adapted by the Ruling Caste, whose existence and goals hide many dark secrets – in the vast, surreal world of Inner Chains you’ll visit all these places and learn their unique histories, arming yourself with knowledge which will help you in your ultimate battle with the enemy.

KOEI TECMO EUROPE REVEALS CHARACTER INTERACTION SYSTEMS ALONGSIDE NEW TRAILER FOR WARRIORS ALL-STARS

Forge Alliances and Assemble the Ultimate KOEI TECMO Team to Save a World on the Brink of Destruction, Headed to PlayStation 4 and Windows PC via Steam®

Hertfordshire, 18^th May 2017 – KOEI TECMO Europe today revealed more information on the character relationships and original storyline of developer Omega Force’s latest one-versus-thousands action title and celebration of everything KOEI TECMO, Warriors All-Stars. The game is headed to the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system and Windows PC via Steam® on the 1st September 2017. An action-packed new trailer for the Tamaki Clan features Zhao Yun, Lu Bu, Wang Yunaji and Zhou Cang from DYNASTY WARRIORS, Oka, Tokitsugu and Horo from Toukiden, Sophie and Plachta from Atelier Sophie: The Alchemist and the Mysterious Book, Opoona from Opoona, and princess Tamaki.

Summoned from a diverse range of worlds and time periods to save a mysterious land at the brink of destruction, the champions of Warriors All-Stars find themselves in the middle of a clash for control. When a magical power source dries up after the king’s passing, princess Tamaki performs a ritual to summon saviours in times of dire need, but her power spirals out of control and scatters them across the domain. As the legend foretells that the land’s liberator will be crowned its new ruler, Tamaki sets out at once to seek the new arrivals and restore peace to the kingdom. However, so do her rivals Setsuna and Shiki – descendants of the royal family who also vie for the throne. Uncertain of their fate, the champions are split into three separate groups with no choice but to duke it out for dominance.

Within this volatile setting, the player must choose their allies carefully. By engaging in Key Battles and taking on Free Scenarios, players will gain access to their faction’s roster of warriors and craft their dream team. Character choices will affect the course and conclusion of the game, as their friendships are key to how the game’s story unfolds, which is further enhanced with the addition of the all-new Bond system. Relationships between characters can improve by fighting alongside one another and spending time together in the Barracks. The closer the Bond, the stronger the abilities unlocked to gain an upper hand on the battlefield.

Raiders of the Broken Planet Antagonist Video Developer Diary Out Now

MercurySteam have released the debut developer diary for Raiders of the Broken Planet, that focuses on the role of the Antagonist, one of the core pillars in the 4 divided by 1 asymmetric shooter.

While playing co-operatively, players run the risk of having an Antagonist join their game, to stop them from achieving their objective. The Antagonist can select any character from the Raiders roster and is able to see which characters the Raiders team selects. This gives the Antagonist the opportunity to pick a character whose strengths and weaknesses are tailored towards the opposition. Combined with the shifting objectives, complex enemy AI and dynamic  characters, the Antagonist is another element that makes the outcome of matches impossible to predict as both sides do everything they can to win.

MercurySteam have also released the next character comic for Raiders of the Broken Planet featuring the mysterious Lycus Dion, a deadly and unhinged mercenary— a true force to be reckoned with. Armed with a shotgun and kinetic shield, Lycus is hyper-offensive, revelling in the fear he instills in his prey. And he’s not afraid to get his hands dirty in close quarters combat—Lycus excels in close range, a master of relentless aggression. His kinetic shield requires  movement to stay charged, further coaxing those who select him to get up close and personal to unleash his savage combat potential.

Lycus’ origins are shrouded in mystery, rumoured to have been seen fighting in different wars across multiple centuries. Is he a myth, a ghost or are all the stories about him somehow true? No one knows for sure, but his entry into the war for the Broken Planet can only mean one thing: chaos.
