EXPERIENCE THE ART OF SAILING AND EXPLORE THE WORLD’S OCEANS IN THE ULTIMATE SAILING SIMULATOR: SAILAWAY

Sailaway gives players the most realistic digital sailing experience to date with an online, persistent world, stunning detail, real-time weather data and more

LONDON – March 15th, 2017 – New and experienced sailors alike are able to take to the high seas with Sailaway– the ultimate sailing simulator that brings the world’s oceans to the comfort of your home. Published by new independent games publisher, The Irregular Corporation and developed by OrbCreation, the ultimate sailing simulator is coming this spring on PC and Mac for  £29.99 / $39.99 / €36.99.

OrbCreation has recreated the oceans of the planet with unparalleled accuracy with a detailed world map: In Sailaway, making a trip across the Pacific takes months, just as it would on a real boat. With a persistent online world, adjust your settings and your boat will continue to sail even if you aren’t online.  Receive updates via email as your boat continues its progress, but don’t forget to check in often – with real-time weather data pulled from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) conditions can change in just a few hours.

Choose from three types of ultra-detailed boats, a 38′ Cruiser, a Mini-Transat or a 45′ Classic Yacht – all accurately modelled with comprehensive controls and set a course for adventure. Featuring accurately modelled waves and water colour based on your location (waves and wave behaviour differs from ocean to ocean!), and accurately modelled day and night sky, Sailaway is the most advanced sailing simulator on the market.

With a range of difficulty settings, Sailaway allows for adjustments for even the most novice players to blossom into fully fledged sailors, while providing advanced features to challenge seasoned lifelong captains.

The developers at Orbcreation also understand the world’s oceans can be a lonely place, so they have designed an in-game real-time global, local and group chat which will allow you to communicate freely with other sailors to organize your own voyages or pass on sailing tips. These features also allow you to invite others onto your boat to help tackle the voyage ahead – and if you fancy some friendly competition, Sailaway includes options to create your own races with start/finish lines. Reign as master of the wind with online leaderboards and challenge one another for the top spot.

“Sailaway started as an experiment to see if it would be feasible to create a sailboat that responds to sail trim changes” said Richard Knol, the one-man development force behind Sailaway, “but it soon transformed into a full time passion project, in which every aspect of sailing was being implemented in the most comprehensive way possible.”

With an established fanbase, Sailaway plans to utilize Steam Early Access to continue to shape the game’s difficulty curves and take input on boats, tutorials, challenges, events and community features. More content is planned for the game and players are encouraged to give feedback.

Stuart Morton, producer at The Irregular Corporation said, “It was clear from the moment we saw Sailaway that it would have massive appeal in the simulation market. It is a lovingly crafted experience and there are no details spared.”

Introducing the Tinker – Mirage: Arcane Warfare’s Trap Specialist

Torn Banner Studios, the creators of Chivalry: Medieval Warfare, today released a brand-new trailer exploring one of the iconic classes of their upcoming multiplayer action-combat game Mirage: Arcane Warfare, the Tinker.

The Tinker, a street-smart rascal with a wit as sharp as her sabre, uses her diminutive size, speed and cunning to control the battlefield with trap spells while keeping opponents constantly on their toes – or off them! This class combines swashbuckling melee moves with deadly magic abilities:

• Hook Shot – Shoot a hook that pulls an enemy towards you
• Stasis – Fire a projectile that lifts an enemy up in the air, taking them out of the fight briefly
• Proximity Mine – Place a mine that explodes when enemies come close
• Obelisk – Call forth an obelisk as a defensive structure, then explode it on command
• Dervish – Perform a quick evasive jump followed by a stab with a powerful lunge
• Kickflip – A quick kick that creates a large distance between you and your target

RACERS OF ALL AGES CAN LAUNCH OFF THE GRID ANYTIME, ANYWHERE, WITH ANYONE, WHEN MARIO KART 8 DELUXE RACES ONTO NINTENDO SWITCH ON 28^th APRIL

New play styles for all ages, new fan-favourite characters, and a revamped battle mode among the many additions to the latest in the long-running racing series

15^th March, 2017 – Players of all ages will be able to take to the track and race against each other anytime, anywhere and with anyone when Mario Kart 8 Deluxe launches for Nintendo Switch on 28^th April.

Friends can instantly compete in thrilling multiplayer races wherever they are, simply by handing one of the two Joy-Con controllers included with the Nintendo Switch console to an opponent and competing on the console’s built-in screen. Extend the invite and place the console in the Nintendo Switch dock to play in TV mode, where up to four players can settle scores over split-screen action. Test your skills online* and challenge players across the globe, or go solo by playing in handheld mode – anytime, anywhere. Experience precise motion controls that players of any skill level can enjoy by adding Joy-Con to the Nintendo Switch Joy-Con Wheel, available separately in pairs. With so many different ways to play and a plentiful number of courses and modes, this is the biggest and most accessible Mario Kart game yet.

In Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, familiar characters from the Super Mario series compete in races set around the world of the Mushroom Kingdom and beyond. Racers have to be prepared to get ahead of their rivals through the use of items such as the Super Star – which makes players invincible for a short period of time – and the notorious Spiny Shell, which will hunt down and attack the player in first place. Adding to the frantic racing action is the use of antigravity, allowing vehicles to race along the sides of buildings, up astonishing waterfalls, and nudge opponents for a satisfying speed boost.

Budding racers who are new to the series and wish to learn the tracks can now make use of the new Smart Steering feature, which will help prevent them from driving off the course. In addition, the Nintendo Switch Joy-Con Wheel Pair will be sold separately on 28^th April, so friends and siblings alike can compete using motion control. Mario Kart veterans, meanwhile, can enjoy a more conventional playing style by using either a Joy-Con Grip or the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller for more precise controls.

As well as more accessible control methods, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe will have 48 courses available from the start, as well as five speed classes, including the expertly challenging 150cc Mirror Mode and the high-octane, ultra-fast 200cc mode. In addition, players will now be able to choose from 42 racers, including returning fan favourites King Boo, Dry Bones, and Bowser Jr. For those seeking a challenge, Gold Mario awaits the finest players who can complete all cups in 200cc. Friends can also suit up and take to the asphalt with the ability to bring their Mii into the game as a racer. Also new to the series are the Inkling Boy and Inkling Girl from Splatoon 2, who bring new vehicle parts and the new Urchin Underpass course for battle mode, all based on the multiplayer shooter.

Battle mode has been revamped and expanded in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, with eight dedicated courses to choose from, including selections from previous titles such as Mario Kart 7. On top of Balloon Battle, both Bob-omb Blast and Shine Thief modes return from Mario Kart Double Dash!!, while Coin Runners makes a comeback from Mario Kart Wii. Battlers can also enjoy a brand new cops and robbers-style mode known as Renegade Roundup.

Multiplayer mayhem can be enjoyed in a variety of different ways on Nintendo Switch consoles, with four different methods available to play with friends.

• Up to four friends can play on a single Nintendo Switch console in TV mode, or in tabletop mode by using the stand at the back of the console and placing it on a flat surface
• Online multiplayer makes a return, allowing for up to two local racers to get involved in 12-player races with others around the world
• Through Wireless Play, multiple Nintendo Switch consoles can be connected to each other, allowing up to eight people to play together in the same room
• Up to 12 consoles in TV mode can be connected via LAN Play**, with one or two players per connected Nintendo Switch**

Players can also create highlight reels and watch them again via the in-game mode Mario Kart TV, allowing them to save the memories of their greatest successes, or their most glorious failures. Should players wish to race in style, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe comes with a wide range of amiibo compatibility, including some Super Mario series and all the Animal Crossing series, while Splatoon series amiibo grant a new racing suit for Mii characters.

Racers of all ages can launch off the grid anytime, anywhere, with anyone, when Mario Kart 8 Deluxe launches on Nintendo Switch on 28^th April.

KOEI TECMO EUROPE DETAILS EXTENSIVE CASTLE TOWN FEATURES FOR SAMURAI WARRIORS: SPIRIT OF SANADA

Follow Yukimura Through His Early Years As He Strives to Follow In His Father’s Footsteps

Hertfordshire, 14^th March 2017 – KOEI TECMO Europe detailed today the expansive new Castle Town facilities, exciting minigames, and the fascinating personalities of the Sanada Clan in SAMURAI WARRIORS: Spirit of Sanada. Slated to release on the 26^th May 2017 for the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system and digitally on PC via Steam®, players will relive the heroic legend of the Sanada Clan in Sengoku Era Japan.

In SAMURAI WARRIORS: Spirit of Sanada, players will witness life in a Castle Town as it grows from quiet and peaceful to bustling and prosperous. There they can reside during missions and prepare for the next battle or talk to the officers and townspeople to gain a deeper insight into their daily lives. The fear of war and the celebration of victory both have their own effect on the morale of the people, and some will ask for help with their troubles by offering missions.

Over the course of the story, the Castle Town expands, granting a greater array of facilities for players to utilise. The Blacksmith uses materials to improve and upgrade weapons to grant an upper-hand in combat, Stables allow for horses to be purchased and prepared for the next mission, Shops sell rare and unique items which will replenish an officer’s health and musou gauges, and the Dojo provides a training ground where one can learn new skills or enhance older ones. A Teahouse is also present, here officers can talk with one another and exchange gifts. Finding the correct gift will result in raised favour with another officer which allows them to join forces on the front line.

Players can gather material through compelling Mini Games and use them across the town’s facilities. Planting seeds and harvesting ingredients in the Hoeing mini-game produces rare goods which cannot be found on the battlefield, Fishing allows officers to approach a body of water to catch a wide variety of different fish breeds to use as gifts, and the Jinzō offers an entertaining version of the Shell game.

Heavily focusing on its characters, SAMURAI WARRIORS: Spirit of Sanada follows Masayuki Sanada, the clan’s patriarch, from his very first battle and continues through following his second son Yukimura, from his birth in 1567. Yukimura was a pure natured yet reckless child who grew up with his elder siblings watching out for him and strived throughout his life to give his best for the clan. Both he and his brother, Nobuyuki, were determined to be as wise as their father and the pair diligently trained together to follow in his footsteps.

A brand-new trailer showcasing a young Yukimura and the expansive Castle Town was released today, alongside images introducing the newly playable character Chacha, a strong-willed girl with a mysterious connection to the Oda Clan who grows to be a close friend of Yukimura’s in the years to come.
