OPEN WORLD VOXEL ADVENTURE STELLAR OVERLOAD TRAVELS TO NEW PLANET IN LATEST MAJOR CONTENT UPDATE

New characters, tools, challenges and more await to be discovered in this imaginative sci-fi adventure and crafting game

PARIS – March 29, 2017 – Independent developer Cubical Drift has released its most significant content update yet to the open world adventure Stellar Overload, bringing to the game a completely new planet for players to explore. It also adds more dynamic tools to Stellar Overload’s extensive crafting system while giving players the freedom to share their maps, dungeons, buildings, vehicles and other inventive creations with the community for the first time.

Novo Ares is Stellar Overload’s latest world, a Grand Canyon-like environment where players will discover a planet divided between the scorching heights and temperate depths of its rugged terrain. A new melee weapon – the hook sword – makes venturing around this landscape easier thanks to its functionality as a hookshot, letting explorers get to hard-to-reach locations in a flash. A new dungeon is also now available on the game’s first world, Merx.

For builders at heart, Stellar Overload has added new systems to allow for even more imagination in construction. The introduction of electricity, including cables, switches, lasers and engines, lets players control mechanisms within buildings, including elevators and monorail trains. New materials and textures also offer improved customization choices.

Mixing adventure and building gameplay mechanics with RPG and FPS action and a sci-fi story, Stellar Overload gives players a universe of teeming horizons made of bricks to explore with jetpacks, block-throwers and other gadgets alone or in cooperative multiplayer.

Stellar Overload is available for Windows PC, Mac and Linux as a Steam Early Access title for $19.99. For the latest updates as the game develops, visit www.stellar-overload.com, and follow Cubical Drift on Facebookand @StellarOverloadon Twitter.

This includes Shinpachi Nagakura, Keisuke Sanan, and Susumu Yamazaki.

Shinpachi Nagakura is a self-proclaimed “beef cake” and the 2nd Division Captain, underneath all that brawn is a heart that beats just as strong as his biceps look. Keisuke Sanan, an intelligent colonel whose cold gaze moves his men, but perhaps you’ll be the one who melts away his icy demeanor and move him. As for, Susumu Yamazaki he is a mysterious ninja who supports the Shinsengumi from the shadows. His dedication to the Shinsengumi’s cause could only be surpassed by his dedication to the player.

FUNCOM’S THE SECRET WORLD RELAUNCHING AS SECRET WORLD LEGENDS THIS SPRING

Acclaimed game to be reborn as shared-world action RPG with new gameplay systems and 100+ hours of stories and quests playable for free

OSLO, Norway – March 29, 2017 – Funcom is excited to announce that their acclaimed story-driven game The Secret World will be relaunched this spring as Secret World Legends, a shared-world action RPG with completely revamped combat, a newly designed progression system, and updated visuals. The game’s full collection of missions and mysteries will be free to play, with over 100 hours of mature storytelling and surprises. Players can sign up for Secret World Legends’ beta at www.SecretWorldLegends.com.

“Over the course of five years, The Secret World has created a truly memorable RPG universe that stands out to this day for the uniqueness of its dark setting and tone, the depth of its quest design, and the high quality of its voice acting throughout,” said Rui Casais, CEO of Funcom. “Secret World Legends uses that foundation to mark a new era for the game, offering a fresh start for newcomers and long-time fans alike, delivering a captivating journey that can be enjoyed entirely on your own or with friends.”

Secret World Legends plunges players into a shadowy war against the supernatural in an adventure that crosses our world with the realms of ancient myth and legend. As players traverse the globe unraveling complex investigations into the unknown, they’ll need to uncover clues and use their own wits as much as their characters’ abilities. A highly extensive and customizable arsenal of firearms, weapons, gear and otherworldly powers will give players the strength to battle the forces of darkness as they dig deeper into these vast and mysterious lands. Players can go at it alone and enjoy the over 100 hours of story at their own pace, or team up with others as they explore the world and unravel its mysteries.

“One of our biggest goals in relaunching the game has been to reimagine the core gameplay experience in a way befitting a modern-day action RPG,” said Scott Junior, executive producer. “Secret World Legends features combat that feels more natural, deep systems that are more intuitive, better structuring of the early game for new players, and improved mission flow to strengthen the pace of progression for players.”

Latest Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 Screenshots Reveal Safe House

CI Games has released three new screenshots and details about the safe house for their upcoming FPS Sniper Ghost Warrior 3. The safe house is a place for protagonist Jon North to rest up and prepare for his next mission. Players can use the safe house to sleep until a designated time, allowing North to strike under the cover of night. The safe house’s weapon cache contains all of North’s weapons and equipment. The weapon cache also serves as a shop where Jon can exchange Trading Goods currency for items. The workbench can be used with resources collected from the world to craft bullets, med kits, and gadgets or add modifications to weapons.

CI Games also released the full list of special bullets Jon will be able to use.

Luring Bullet: Can be used to lure enemies into desired spots while not raising an alarm. Players can easily dispose of enemies that can be seen by others. Simply lure them out of sight and take them out. It can also lure enemies out from behind obstacles and into view.

Tagging Bullet: Extracts a pulse that locates enemies through obstacles. It allows players to tag enemies in places where flying the drone would be too risky or would take too much time.

Armor Piercing: Can be used to take out targets hiding in cover, so thin walls, fences, and even metal will no longer stop shots. It’s very effective against armored vehicles.

EMP: Emits an electromagnetic pulse that disables vehicles and electronic devices within a small radius. A well-placed shot can ensure enemy reinforcements won’t arrive on the location, disable CCTV cameras, or can lure enemies by frying a power generator.

Explosive Bullet: If you no longer care about stealth, then this is your bullet of choice for one-shot, one-kill sniping.

DARPA: Experimental homing bullets that allow players to ignore wind and gravity, making these severe-condition shots much easier to execute.

Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 launches on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on April 25th.
