Register for free now, or secure guaranteed closed beta access with the purchase of a Dreadnought Founder’s Pack

HOUSTON and BERLIN – June 6, 2017 – Grey Box, Six Foot and independent developer YAGER have released the all-new Havoc mode for the console-exclusive closed beta of Dreadnought, the class-based spaceship action game, on the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system.

Available only on the PlayStation®4, Havoc is a cooperative mode in which three players attempt to survive as long as possible against progressively tougher waves of enemies from the Scavs, a new AI faction with their own unique ships. Rather than bringing their own premade fleet loadouts into battle, players will select ships at the beginning of each match and upgrade them over time. Havoc is playable on two new maps: Xanthe and Hekate.

Players can register for Dreadnought’s closed beta on the PlayStation®4 at https://www.greybox.com/dreadnought/en/ps4/. Instant access to the closed beta can also be obtained with the purchase of one of the new Dreadnought Founder’s Packs, available today via the PlayStation®Store:

• PS4 Hunter Pack ($9.99) – Closed beta access, plus two Hero Ships (the PCF Morningstar Dreadnought and PCF Silesia Artillery Cruiser), 1,200 Grey Box Points (GP), which can be used to buy ship emblems, decals and more, 10,000 Credits, which can be spent on new ships, weapon upgrades and modules, seven days of Elite Status, which grants bonus experience and credits per match, two Fleet Recruitment Packs, and an assortment of coatings, emblems and decals.
• PS4 Mercenary Pack ($39.99) – Closed beta access, plus five Hero Ships (the Huscarl Destroyer, Kali Tactical Cruiser, Outis Corvette, PCF Morningstar Dreadnought and PCF Silesia Artillery Cruiser), 3,500 GP, 25,000 Credits, 30 days of Elite Status, two Fleet Recruitment Packs, and an assortment of coatings, emblems and decals.

Fleet Recruitment Packs can be shared with friends; each contains closed beta access, two Hero Ships (the PCF Morningstar Dreadnought and PCF Silesia Artillery Cruiser), 250 GP and an assortment of coatings, emblems and decals.

Dreadnought puts players in the captain’s chair of massive capital ships on the front lines of tactical team battles across a variety of competitive multiplayer game modes. Five distinct ship classes, specializing in vital roles like frontline assault, long-range bombardment, strategic support and more, offer fleets unique powers to exploit the enemy’s weaknesses and claim victory. There are more than 50 playable vessels to master, each customizable with an array of weapons, modules, coatings and decals.

Dreadnought is being created for the PlayStation®4 by lead-developer YAGER and co-developer Iron Galaxy Studios in partnership with Six Foot and Grey Box. The game’s PlayStation®4 closed beta features six playable maps and four game types: Team Deathmatch, Team Elimination, Training and Havoc modes.

Uncover the Secrets of the Volterra Psychiatric Asylum in the Enhanced Edition of this Solemn yet Striking Story of Mental Illness, Now Available on PlayStation®4, Xbox One and Windows PC

Watford, U.K. — June 6, 2017 — In partnership with developer LKA.it, independent games publisher Wired Productions is pleased to announce today that the chilling, first-person psychological adventure game The Town of Light is now available in physical and digital formats. Featuring countless enhancements along with new story-supporting content for its console debut, The Town of Light has arrived on the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, Xbox One, the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft, and Windows PC. Distribution of the physical edition is delivered in partnership with THQNordic.

Fans of the game can grab the exclusive The Town of Light Collector’s Edition, which includes never-before-seen behind the scenes footage in addition to a stunning 100-page artbook, from the Wired Productions Store.

“The aim of the project was to talk about mental illness,” said Luca Dalcò, Studio Head and Founder of LKA.it. “This is one of the single biggest issues affecting the day to day lives of people throughout Europe and the world. In telling these stories and today bringing the game to console, we do our part to help de-stigmatise mental illness and raise awareness for the struggle of those who suffer with it.”

“We’re incredibly excited to bring The Town of Light to consoles today,” said Leo Zullo, Managing Director at Wired Productions. “In addition to creating a flawless recreation of a real-world location, the game tells a mesmerizing story of the struggles of real people. The game’s grounding in reality is hugely immersive and the quality of the narrative is a testament to the incredible team at LKA.it.”

An enhanced edition of the original, this new release of The Town of Light offers a host of new puzzles, new story-supporting content, reworked voiceover dialogue, additional interactive elements and a huge graphical and UI overhaul that aims to deliver a more polished and immersive experience for its console debut and enhanced Windows PC release.

Winner of the indieDB Editor’s Choice 2015 award for “Best Visuals” and Game Connection Paris 2014 award for “Best Narrative,” The Town of Light is a first-person, story-driven adventure game set in the Volterra Psychiatric Asylum. The asylum was shut down in the late 1970s due to an Italian law that instructed all asylums to close completely and give back patients their civil rights. Played through the fictional eyes of Renée, a 16-year-old girl who suffers from the symptoms of mental illness, players must search for answers to the many questions from her past while exploring and uncovering the place where she spent most of her youth. What happens next is a dark and emotional journey where the lines of interactive entertainment, storytelling and reality frequently tend to blur.

“We believe Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk will be an unforgettable film about one of the most momentous endeavors of World War II,” stated Erik Whiteford, Head of Marketing, Wargaming America, “and we are honored to be in a partnership with a creative endeavor that shares our passion for honoring and preserving the incredible events that define that era.”

Join Wargaming as they “Remember Dunkirk” to commemorate the 77th anniversary of this crucial turning point in WWII. “Remember Dunkirk” anniversary events and offerings are taking place across the entire slate of Wargaming’s combat video games. The action intensifies in July, as even more events come to the Wargaming “Battle Trilogy” of video games.

A series of emblems, missions and more await all who enter the battle. Join Wargaming and take to the Land, Sea and Air with World of Tanks, World of Warships and World of Warplanes.

ESE esports secures ownership of OPL team Abyss

Riot Games Oceania announced today that ESE esports has purchased League of Legends Oceanic Pro League (OPL) team, Abyss, becoming the fourth team in the OPL to secure major investment.

ESE esports is a company of Executive Sports and Entertainment (ESE), a leading Sydney agency founded in 1998. It is owned by Rohan Sawyer, Leon Spellson and Ryan Wilson, who have over 30 years combined experience in sports and entertainment. Nathan Mathews will remain an employee of Abyss and a key member of the team.

Rohan Sawyer, Executive Director of ESE esports said:

“Esports attributes are very similar to traditional sports, fans and tribalism with commercial opportunities in sponsorship, membership and broadcast. Esports has already exploded globally and we see League of Legends and the OPL doing the same here.

“Last month we saw a first for Australian mainstream sport, with the Adelaide Crows acquiring the professional OPL team Legacy. We believe esports will be a top tier sport in Australia and with transactions like this and what we are seeing overseas it may come sooner than we anticipate.”

Daniel Ringland, Head of esports at Riot Games Oceania, said:

“It is great to have another strong group invest in an OPL esports team. With the executive team of ESE esports having strong backgrounds in professional sport, sponsorships and finance, Abyss have found an organisation that will give them a platform to develop and cultivate their talent in Split 2 and beyond. The future of the OPL has never looked brighter for teams, fans and sponsors with competition definitely going to heat up.”

ESE esports has already started working with the Abyss team as they move into Split 2 of the OPL, which starts on 10 June. Team schedules are now available on the OPL website, with Abyss’ first match against Team Regicide kicking off at 6pm on Saturday 10 June.
