JUGGERNAUT WARS UPDATE 2.0 AVAILABLE TODAY

Massive Update Introduces Extended Clan Battles and New Heroes

Moscow, Russia – November 21, 2016 – Global publisher My.com’s mobile gaming hit, Juggernaut Wars, gets the biggest update yet. Update 2.0 introduces two brand-new game modes to enhance the experience for active clans in the action-packed RPG. The developers honor the requests from the community to rival each other for greater rewards and one-on-one synchronous PvP battles. New modes, new heroes, and more action for clans to undertake together – there has not been a better time to start your adventures in Haradan. The update releases today for all Android and iOS device users of Juggernaut Wars.

From now on there, will be massive clan PvP battles starting at specific times during each week. It is crucial to get clan troops ready in time since there will not be much time to prepare. Divided by the phases of attack and defenses, this mode will test the power of every clan warrior since they should prepare a decent defense to repel the attack of the opposing clan and still have forces to strike back. This is a completely new experience for the clans of the game and it’s forever changing the way clanmates communicate. Communication is the key to victory.

For those who like to act on their own, there is a new synchronous PvP mode where the fight between players begins even before their forces enter the combat zone. Hero selection happens in real time one hero after another. Players can see what heroes their opponents pick for a battle and adjust their team accordingly – but they always have a wild card and can switch one hero after the pick phase is over. The new mode will help good players to grow faster due to a set of the great rewards.

PvE players will enjoy new chapters of the campaign. Players can bring their trusty heroes on the mission to rescue captured royalty and restore peace in Haradan. Starting today, the Black Witch ‘Wolche’ and the Necromancer ‘Khardur’ can join the fray and bring their new abilities to the battlefield. The roster of available heroes for Juggernaut Wars became even more diverse and deadly.

In Juggernaut Wars, players fight to save the fascinating world of Haradan – a world familiar to fans of its predecessor Juggernaut: Revenge of Sovering, the multi-million download RPG hit from 2012. The world of Haradan has fallen into turmoil and a devastating civil war has further divided its two factions: the League and the Cohort. The ruler of the last city, who was capable of keeping the peace, suddenly disappears under violent and suspicious circumstances. Only the player’s team of heroes can journey the predatory wastelands and woodlands to unravel its mysteries, using dexterity and speed in battle to restore order to Haradan.

Dawn of Andromeda Coming to Steam Early Access December 1

Dawn of Andromeda Coming to Steam Early Access December 1

New Trailer for Turn-based 4X Space RTS Game 

Haarlem, The Netherlands – November 21, 2016 –  Publisher Iceberg Interactive announces today that their 4X space RTS ‘Dawn of Andromeda’ (PC) will launch on Steam’s Early Access program on December 1st, 2016. Earlier this year the game enjoyed a very successful closed beta program, accumulating tremendous feedback and suggestions from a dedicated group of testers. Having taken giant strides forward since then, and having undergone extensive Quality Assurance, developer GreyWolf Entertainment is now eager to put the current advanced beta in front of a much wider audience, in Early Access. Given the remaining development roadmap and gamer requests, they currently anticipate the game to stay in early access for approximately three months, releasing in March 2017.

Iceberg Interactive CEO Erik Schreuder says “Despite the avalanche of releases occurring in Q4, we feel that Dawn of Andromeda stands out from the crowd and is polished enough to take the leap during this busy window. It has been quite a while since a solid and engaging 4X space RTS title has emerged between the many turn-based competitors and we expect many real-time 4X strategy fans to jump on board and grab their chance to make an impact.”

Dawn of Andromeda is a plausible, real-time space 4X game focused on providing a fun, immersive and accessible experience. It allows you to build your empire, colonize new planets, interact with other factions and characters, research new technologies and build fleets so powerful your enemies will tremble. On top of that, the game brings you a galaxy filled with diverse factions, outlaws, merchants, pirate clans and mercenaries but also anomalies, black holes, ancient artifacts, ruins and much more.

Dawn of Andromeda will launch December 1 on Steam’s Early Access program at $24.99.

http://store.steampowered.com/app/427570.

Features:

  • Explore, expand, exploit and exterminate in this real-time space strategy game, featuring real-time combat in a dynamic and ever-evolving galaxy
  • New factions and characters can join the fray mid-game; artifacts, ruins, anomalies and a huge variety of fascinating elements are scattered throughout the galaxy and can yield new research opportunities. Various characters such as outlaws, merchants and others roam the galaxy
  • Asymmetric gameplay. Not all races discover space travel at the same time, some may have yet to discover it, some may have already built a mighty empire, and some races may be naturally stronger than others. However, if you’d prefer a traditional 4X experience and start an entirely symmetric game, it’s up to you
  • Pre-designed, customizable and randomly generated races, each with their unique backgrounds and traits                                                                                                                            
  • Accessible gameplay, featuring a highly-intuitive User Interface
  • Eras; unique scenarios, each with a pre-designed galaxy and background stories which you can play as one of the existing factions, each with their own victory conditions, traits, challenges and ongoing conflicts and relationships
  • Choose between researching pre-fabricated or randomly generated ship designs, or alternatively research and discover ship parts, allowing you to create your own unique shop designs from them
  • In-depth diplomacy system. Create or join coalitions, make allies and enemies, but beware, each action you take can change how the rest of the galaxy will view you. Destroying an entire planet, or just praising or denouncing another race, can have a deep impact on the balance of the entire galaxy
  • Reduce micro-management by appointing governors to your colonies and council members to your empire, all of whom can be leveled up. Each come with their own unique traits, happiness and experiences
  • Multiple, customizable victory conditions, which can never be set to vary for each faction, making for unpredictable friends and foes

Preview keys are available to all interested press. Please contact the Iceberg PR team at [email protected]

—-
The November 29th release date is approaching and I sincerely hope everyone enjoys this game with a fresh state of mind. Unfortunately, there has been an unauthorized distribution of the boxed edition of FINAL FANTASY XV in select regions and we have noticed that gameplay footage from people playing these copies has appeared online. Though this type of situation is brought on by various region specific circumstances and may not be something that is completely avoidable, we are very regretful of this situation.

One of the major goals of FINAL FANTASY XV is for everyone to enjoy the story and to discover the surprises together through the simultaneous worldwide release. Due to these recent events, videos with unexpected spoilers could potentially be posted online, so we would like to warn everyone who has been waiting in anticipation for this game.

We will also do everything in our capacity to prevent unauthorised footage from appearing online. We would also like to ask anybody that has obtained an early copy of the game to be respectful to those that are looking forward to the official release and to not spoil the surprises for everyone.
A large and dedicated team have worked extremely hard to make this game and to create a FINAL FANTASY that everyone can enjoy. It would be a huge regret for us if the excitement of the launch was to be spoiled for so many when we are so close to release.

Your understanding and cooperation would be much appreciated so we can celebrate the best possible release together.
