Galactic Civilizations III v1.8 with Asteroid Mining and More is Now Available

Plymouth, MI. – June 14, 2016 – Stardock released v1.8 for its popular strategy game, Galactic Civilizations III today. The update adds the new Asteroid Mining feature, along with ship leveling, an improved multiplayer experience, and more.

“We have been wanting to add asteroid mining for a while now,” said Galactic Civilizations III lead designer Paul Boyer. “Now, players can choose asteroids in their zone of control and spend credits to make an Asteroid Mining Base that will send raw production to the planet of their choice.”

In addition to mining asteroids, players will be able to level their ships by winning battles and surveying anomalies. Base hit points (HP) of ships will increase every time they progress. Mercenary ships gain additional bonuses, which makes them more relevant in the late game.

“Multiplayer experience is very important to us,” said Boyer. “We have pinpointed some areas that can help the player’s games flow more smoothly and have made adjustments there.” Ships now have increased movement speed in multiplayer games and the movement and events systems reduce the number of stacked turns and desyncs.

Along with a new planet list that shows the player planets they have discovered but haven’t colonized yet, v1.8 also contains several other updates to gameplay such as adjustments to diplomacy statistic bonuses, target modifiers, the conquest military goal, and more.

Galactic Civilizations III and the new v1.8 update is now available through Steam or Stardock. For more information on Galactic Civilizations III, please visit www.galciv3.com.

Catch a Glimpse of the Seductively Dangerous and Fantasy-filled World of “Nioh,” Exclusively on PlayStation®4

Hertfordshire and Los Angeles, Calif. – 14^th June 2016 – KOEI TECMO Europe today announced that its highly-anticipated samurai action RPG, Nioh, will receive a second downloadable demo exclusively for the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system. Following the overwhelming success of the Alpha Demo in April—during which more than 850,000 players downloaded Nioh and experienced the game’s intense and compelling gameplay for the first time—the second demo is currently planned for launch in August, with more information on its contents and exact release date to be announced at a later time.

KOEI TECMO Europe has also released a gripping new trailer alongside a choice selection of assets that reveal a variety of captivating locations, unusual mythical creatures, sinister enemies, and mysterious allies that cross paths with the game’s enigmatic blonde-haired protagonist, William. The short video provides a further glimpse into a world enveloped in mystery and mysticism, hinting at William’s powers and motives as he sets out on a treacherous path that takes him to the far end of the world – to a land of exotic islands torn by civil war and demonic supernatural threats.

A demo of Nioh featuring brand new content will be present at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) 2016 in Los Angeles from the 14^th to the 16^th June with more of what everyone loved about the recent Alpha Demo on PlayStation 4: more high-intensity combat, new weapons, never before seen characters, deadlier enemies and a whole lot of challenging gameplay. All Alpha Demo content will be available for those who have never tried the title.

About Nioh

In the dark, fantasy action RPG Nioh, players will traverse war-torn Japan as William, a blonde-haired swordsman whose background as a fierce warrior and seasoned knowledge of the blade allows him to survive in the demon-plagued land of the samurai. Players will face off against other samurai in epic sword battles and intense, multi-target engagements offering a level of difficulty that will truly test even the most hardened samurai’s skills, patience, and strategy. Nioh not only incorporates iconic elements from Japanese folklore such as samurai and supernatural creatures—the game also offers the exhilaration of an authentic samurai sword fight straight from Team NINJA. Nioh is guaranteed to challenge players in a way that makes every mission feel earned and their accomplishments worthwhile.

Scheduled for launch in 2016, Nioh is in development exclusively for the PS4™ system.
