MOVE OR DIE ANNOUNCES THE ‘NON-DENOMINATIONAL WINTER HOLIDAY UPDATE’ – RUIN FRIENDSHIPS WITH POLITICALLY CORRECT CHEER ON DECEMBER 20
Seven New Characters, Control Remap Options and Teamplay Added to the Final Move Or Die Update of 2016
TWAIN HARTE, CA – December 15, 2016 – The merry minds of Those Awesome Guys are bringing season’s greetings the only way they know how – by adding more insane gameplay modes, highly requested features, and zany characters to Move or Die with the ‘Non-Denominational Winter Holiday Update’ launching December 20 on Steam. Major non-offensive features include: improved matchmaking online, highly-requested control remap options, and brand new Teamplay where players can pick to join one of the four teams (Blue, Yellow, Pink, or Green) to compete – er we mean, participate – in 2-versus-2, 2-versus-1 and 3-versus-1 matches.

Look at all the pretty lights in the new Super Hot game mode – those are bullets? Oh.
In addition, the ‘Non-Denominational Winter Holiday Update’ will include seven characters-a-jumping, four joyful game modes, two festive Mutators, and a non-secular feathered creature in a fruit tree*. Like every Move or Die update, the ‘Non-Denominational Winter Holiday Update’ will be a free content update – more details to be revealed soon!
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.

The ‘Non-Denominational Winter Holiday Update’ will be available on December 20. Move or Die is available now on Steam for $14.99 with console versions launching in 2017.

Seriously Cooperative: Serious Sam VR: The Last Hope Update Adds Online Co-op & Serious New Modes

Croatia – Ammo enthusiasts Croteam and pop-gun wielding publisher Devolver Digital announced the first major update to Serious Sam VR on Steam which includes an all-new online co-op mode so you can frag the crap out of aliens with a buddy in virtual reality. The new co-op mode allows for two players and works on any level in the game which is currently available on Steam Early Access for $39.99 (http://store.steampowered.com/app/465240/).

In Serious Sam VR, it is the period of the first Mental War. Earth’s defense forces are crumbling under the hordes of the vicious Mental. He managed to break the will of many nations by destroying the ancient shrines of the domestic people. A fearless EDF general, Sam ‘Serious’ Stone, is leading the resistance from the battlecruiser ‘BC Saratoga’ in a desperate attempt to save the galaxy.

Serious Sam VR is serious fast action. Get into the fight immediately after choosing one of several missions, drop in and start wreckin’ faces. Featuring multiple levels on multiple planets, the bosses you’ll encounter in this virtual world are bigger, badder and uglier than you’ve yet encountered as Sam Stone.

The new co-op mode puts players side by side inside the VR simulation of Captain Sam’s combat logs with each player controlling one of two virtual-but-deadly versions of Sam Stone to deliver double the damage on Mental’s hordes of enemies. Players can jump in and start doling out destruction via either HTC Vive or Oculus Rift or a combination of both.

Pick up and master new weapons or use trusty favorites like the dual-wielding shotguns or the pirate cannon, and use your power ups to navigate your skill tree to be the boldest, biggest and most virtual Sam you can be. In-between missions, use in-game currency to customize or upgrade your gear on the Saratoga battlecruiser and FSU in all new ways in each battle.

Additional updates include various balance tweaks and enhancements along with two new difficulty settings: Tourist and Serious, both of which are playable in single player and co-op modes.

KOEI TECMO EUROPE DETAILS STRATEGIC GAMEPLAY ELEMENTS OF DYNASTY WARRIORS: GODSEEKERS 

Delve Deeper Into the Three Kingdoms Period of Chinese History Through Exciting Battlefield Encounters on PlayStation®4 and PlayStation®Vita

Hertfordshire, 16^th December 2016 — KOEI TECMO Europe today detailed the exciting gameplay features and early purchase bonuses of the upcoming epic tactics style title, Dynasty Warriors: Godseekers. The game is due for digital release via the PlayStation®Store on the 1^st February 2017 for the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system and PlayStation®Vita handheld entertainment system. A gameplay trailer showcasing the tactical gameplay elements of Dynasty Warriors: Godseekers was released today alongside a plethora of screenshots which further detail gameplay aspects such as the immersive Path of Destiny mode, as well as early purchase bonuses.

Dynasty Warriors: Godseekers utilises a tactical gameplay system wherein players strategically move their units across a battlefield to defeat opposing forces. Actions take place on a grid, with units moving a select set of spaces before carrying out offensive or defensive manoeuvres. Cunningly attacking from the sides and rear of an enemy will deal significant amounts of damage, allowing units to be eliminated more efficiently. Defeating enemies successfully will enable Synchro Mode, which allows the user to unleash powerful attacks that can decimate an opposing force.

A useful companion in battle, Lixia has strong powers once sealed away into orbs. Lixia’s Orbs are unique objects that can lend an upper hand against tougher opponents. Whether the player chooses to envelop the battlefield in flames or flood enemy strongholds, these elemental changes will break through defences and reduce infantry numbers! Players will unlock and obtain a variety of Orbs through the story, each offering its own unique abilities.

Outside of combat, players can further immerse themselves in the fascinating Three Kingdoms period through conversations with other officers. Path of Destiny episodes are unlocked during encounters on the front lines, and provide access to unique battles, new companions, monetary bonuses and useful items.

A selection of impressive costumes is available to those who purchase Dynasty Warriors: Godseekers within the game’s first month of sale, allowing players to further personalise their gameplay experience. Lixia can switch her standard costume for the “Diaochan” costume, while Guan Yinping and Lu Lingqi will receive special costumes sporting fox ears and tails.
