London, UK — April 6, 2016 — Today, Ubisoft® and Blue Byte released the new Anno 2205™ Veteran’s Pack, which is free for all players, and revealed plans for upcoming downloadable content.

The Anno 2205 Veteran’s Pack offers challenges for experienced Anno players and introduces new features, such as additional quest types, user interface options and ornaments.

Players will also experience new types of quests, a community-requested quick view mode for all buildings in the sector, and the option to exclude certain goods from consumption. Three new ornaments allow players to make their cities more diversified and performance updates such as improved start and loading times are included as well.

More new content is already in development for Anno 2205. This May, another free DLC, the Big Five Pack, will be released, bringing the Economic Warfare feature to the game. Here, players have to battle for shares of the Big Five, the five most successful competitive corporations, but they also need to defend their own corporation’s shares. Moreover, new Sector Effects can add a permanent or temporary positive or negative effect to players’ sectors.

In June, the Anno 2205 Orbit DLC will allow players to build their own modular space station, which offers a brand-new science and research system to upgrade different areas in their corporations. Orbit is part of the Anno 2205 Season Pass but can also be purchased separately.

Anno 2205 is in development at Blue Byte, a Ubisoft studio, and is available now.

RISING STAR GAMES TO BRING BELOVED MECH-ACTION TITLE
ASSAULT SUIT LEYNOS TO PLAYSTATION®4 AND PC THIS SUMMER

Defend the Earth from a Mysterious Invading Force with
Powerful Customizable Mechs in this HD Remake

Los Angeles, CA – April 6, 2016 – Rising Star Games, the video game publisher renowned for bringing unique and diverse games to players everywhere, has announced a new partnership with Dracue Software to publish Assault Suit Leynos for the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, and PC. Drawing from the fantastic action of the classic 16-bit series (also known as Target Earth), the Assault Suit series is well-known for fierce and fast shooting action, challenging boss battles, and an amazing array of weapon options. Assault Suit Leynos stays true to these gameplay elements and delivers HD visuals for the ultimate alien-blasting experience.

“The slick production values and fast-paced action make Assault Suit Leynos an incredibly addictive game,” said Martin Defries, managing director of Rising Star Games. “This title is both challenging and rewarding and a great example of the type of game, borne out of Japan, that we love working with here at Rising Star Games. Fans of old-school shooters will absolutely feel that familiar thrill and quickening of the pulse when they start blasting wave upon wave of enemies.”

Take on armies of robot enemies and huge mechanized bosses in Assault Suit Leynos.

As Earth reels from the impact of a fourth world war and dwindling resources, an uneasy truce between nations sees mankind reach for the stars. Colonies are settled, resources are mined, and the future starts looking a little brighter. But just as peace finally seems possible, an unknown enemy emerges from the deepest region of space to threaten the very existence of humanity. Only one thing can stop them – It’s time to deploy the Assault Suit Squadron! Gamers will blast through the opposing enemy forces with devastating weapons like machine guns, rocket launchers, and laser beams while discovering the hidden truth behind the invaders.

Developed by Dracue Software, Assault Suit Leynos will be available summer 2016 on the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system and PC through select digital retailers. The physical boxed release of the PlayStation 4 version includes a deluxe double-sided poster featuring artwork from the Japanese release as well as original art from the classic 16-bit release.
