Forged Battalion Coming to Steam Early Access on January 16

Petroglyph, composed of former Command & Conquer veterans, announced their upcoming RTS Forged Battalion will hit Steam Early Access on January 16, 2018. The early access phase is scheduled to run for several months. The initial early access build will come with the first act of the campaign, several skirmish maps with support for several game modes, dedicated server, five vehicle archetypes for customization, and the tech tree mechanic.

Forged Battalion is an RTS built around an upgrading mechanic. As players purchase blueprints from resource points earned in battle. The blueprints can modify the archetype of units, allowing them to specialize for whatever situation or play style the player prefer. A player who focuses on guerrilla warfare will focus on giving their units stealth, fast mobility, and high initial damage, while a front line brawler may create an army around heavy armour and consistent DPS.

MOVE OR DIE BRINGS HOLIDAY FRIENDSHIP-RUINING SPIRIT WITH THE GIANT ‘GREEN AND GOLD’ UPDATE COMING DECEMBER 21

A Sleighful of Awesome New Characters, Game Modes, and the Debut of the “Not-A-Store” Item System – No Stinking Loot Boxes Here!

BUCHAREST, ROMANIA – DECEMBER 14, 2017 – The furious minds of Those Awesome Guys announced that their holiday content update for Move or Die – the ‘Green & Gold Update’ – will be available on December 21. Featuring a plethora of wonderful, friendship-destroying, holiday cheer, the ‘Green & Gold Update’ introduces the brand new “Not-A-Store” Item System that completely reinvents how new characters, game modes, Mutators, and other new features are unlocked. And as expected with major updates, the ‘Green & Gold Update’ contains a huge collection of new insane characters, game modes, Mutators, as well as new ways to customize your character, never before seen in Move or Die.

“The Green & Gold Update is by far our largest content update since Move Or Die was released and one where I wanted to send a loud and clear message – microtransactions SUCK,” eloquently states Nicolae Berbece, founder and lead developer for Those Awesome Guys. “For every Move or Die update that we’ve launched, it’s always been free. Game updates should be free and that’s something I’m confident to say we all agree on (you know, except big AAA studio executives).”

Move Or Die demonstrates how deadly Tetris can be with the new Tetrominos Game Mode.

Move or Die is not just the title of the game, but a fundamental gameplay rule: gamers who fail to move will see their health bar diminish rapidly. Players will battle each other in an ever-growing list of mini-game modes that change every 20-30 seconds. Each challenge has its own outrageous level design and rule set to promote hours of laughter and good old friendship-destroying fun. Win battles and unlock insane new character skins, Mutator game modifiers that dramatically change how mini-games are played, and even crazier game modes. When gamers are done beating friends on the couch, jump online and challenge other players to see who will rage-quit first.

New Extinction Trailer Demos the Game’s Skills

Iron Galaxy Executive Producer Derek Neal sat down to talk about Extinction’s skill tree and how it will affect the game’s strategy. Hero Avil has a wide variety of rune and weapon abilities to counter the massive armoured ogres of Extinction. There are a variety of armours that the ogres, known as the Ravenii, wear. For example, spiked armour will damage Avil if he lands on it, so he will need skills like Rune Gravity to give players better control of Avil while he is in the air. Of course, some ogres are simply too powerful to take down at all. Brightsteel armour cannot be destroyed, so players will need to think up of creative solutions to achieve their goals when facing a fully decked out Ravenii. Accompanying the trailer is a new infographic that breaks down all the armour types.

Extinction is an action RPG set in the kingdom of Dolorum that is overrun by the Ravenii after years of peace. Avil is a member of an ancient order that has prepared for the return of the Ravenii. Called back into action, Avil is on a mission to save the townsfolk and the cities from destruction by killing the Ravenii invaders. To do this, Avil will climb the massive Ravenii in battle, destroy their armour, and strike their weak points to bring them crashing to the ground. Extinction is set to launch for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Windows in Spring 2018 (Autumn 2018 in the Southern Hemisphere).
