dawn-of-war-2-retribution-promo-art-01

Celebrating the strategy game’s 5th anniversary, yesterday Relic Entertainment announced the exciting addition of the Necron Overlord to Warhammer 40,000Dawn of War 2: Retribution‘s Last Stand mode. A fan favorite and a long requested addition to Last Stand game play, the Necron Overlord marshals an absolute command of death. Functioning as either a long-range fast-firing shooter or melee powerhouse as you see fit, the Overlord’s final ability is to summon the fearsome star god itself, the C’Tan named Nightbringer. Armed with War Scythes, Resurrection Orbs, and all manner of green crackling energy weapons, the Necron Overlord is akin to the ancient Egyptian god of death, Anubis, if Anubis was built by Skynet. An announcement trailer can be viewed below.

The Necron Overlord teleports into Last Stand on March 10, where for 5 days it will be made free for all, to celebrate 5 years of DOW2: Retribution. Arriving much earlier however is a bug patch fix, tackling the most prominent community reported bugs. A full list of bugs can be found here. Overall Relic has done a good job answering community concerns, and continuing to engage with their fans even five years after release, and after being sold off to Sega in 2013. They even managed to pull off a victory in the last round of Make War Not Love 3, beating out competition veterans Company of Heroes, and Total War Attila. Maybe hope for a third installment in the Dawn of War saga is not completely lost yet.

Award-winning KOI Confirmed to Ripple onto the PlayStation®4 via the PlayStation™Network this Spring

Award-winning KOI Confirmed to Ripple onto the PlayStation®4 via the PlayStation™Network this Spring

Oasis Games Invites Players on a Mesmerizing Journey Filled with Beauty, Adventure and Reflection

BEIJING – (March 3, 2016) – Oasis Games Ltd, a leading independent Chinese publisher, announced today that KOI, an award-winning exploration adventure game that follows the quest of a lone koi fish through an ever-evolving lotus pond, is coming to the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system for digital release via the PlayStation®Store this Spring in North America. KOI is an entrancing beautiful, imaginative game that reflects on the effects of mankind on the environment. The game will make its debut at GDC PLAY 2016 (San Francisco, March 16-18).

KOI marks the initial console game to be released in the Western territories by Oasis Games in its portfolio of upcoming console games spanning a broad spectrum of genres. Oasis Games is an established game company with successful games and serves as the first publishing partner of Sony Computer Entertainment Shanghai (SCES) for overseas publishing as part of the move by China to lift its ban of console manufacturing and sales.

To introduce KOI, the company has released a trailer presenting the tenacious koi moving through a world of simple beauty, meditative adventure and lurking danger. Additionally, the official website launched today sharing more of the alluring world in KOI: www.koips4.com.

KOI takes players on a seemingly small journey with deeper meaning. In doing so, players will release the delicate koi from the darkness that has engulfed them from the waters tainted by man by solving challenging puzzles, retaining enchanting melodies found within the leaves of branches amongst other missions in this spiritual odyssey. The artfully depicted world of the lotus pond can be explored and navigated, and in the process of collecting items and solving puzzles, the pond will be purified and made better. Waters can be cleansed, nascent flowers can be opened and threats can be transformed into positive elements. As the koi travels through unknown waters, players enjoy a journey of reflection and contemplation. Completing mini games also unveil layers of the story as players flow through the waters.

KOI will take players on an meaningful adventure of beauty and growth that will touch both hearts and sprits,” said Alen Wu, business director at Oasis Games. “As one of the first Chinese developers for the PlayStation®4, we hope to bring console gamers an experience that is fresh and new; a game that reinvigorates the spirit while providing entertainment for players of all ages.”

Beneath the tranquil waters of the lotus pond lies a world of danger and uncertainty, illuminated by the game’s hypnotic, piano-based score at every twist and turn. The devoted koi will face dangers from raging currents to deadly predators and spiky barriers. But by blooming flowers to purify the pond, threats can become beauty: dark predator fish can become harmless koi friends and melodies hidden in spiky twigs can turn them into green, healthy leaves. KOI is the game that asks players a simple question: Can you bring purity to a lotus pond, and in so doing, bring happiness and peace to your mind?

KOI for PlayStation®4 will be published by Oasis Games in North America, and is developed by Tianjin-based indie studio, Dotoyou. Previously released on mobile with positive accolades and awards, KOI will bring tranquility on the PlayStation®4 system when it releases this Spring.

POKÉMON BANK USERS TO RECEIVE THE LEGENDARY TRIO REGIROCK, REGICE AND REGISTEEL THIS SPRING

POKÉMON BANK USERS TO RECEIVE THE LEGENDARY TRIO REGIROCK, REGICE AND REGISTEEL THIS SPRING

Three Legendary Pokémon with Hidden Abilities to be distributed

London, UK—3 March 2016— The Pokémon Company International and Nintendo have announced that  Pokémon Bank users who access their account between 4 March and 31 October 2016 will receive special versions of the Legendary Hoenn Pokémon Regirock, Regice and Registeel.

The three Legendary Pokémon, which appear in the Pokémon Omega Ruby andPokémon Alpha Sapphire games, will all be Level 50 and have Hidden Abilities that were not previously available when the Pokémon were caught in the wild during regular gameplay. These Pokémon will be available exclusively for Pokémon Bankusers.

Pokémon Bank is an application and service for players of the Pokémon X, Pokémon Y, Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire video games for systems in the Nintendo 3DS family. It enables users to deposit, store and manage their Pokémon in private Boxes on the Internet. Pokémon Bank is a subscription service which has an annual membership fee.

Regirock will have the Hidden Ability Sturdy. Sturdy means that if Regirock has full HP and is hit with an attack that would normally cause it to faint, it will be able to endure that attack with 1 HP remaining. This makes Regirock a huge force to be reckoned with.

Regice will come with the Hidden Ability Ice Body, which helps the Pokémon restore its HP whenever the weather condition is Hail. With its new Ice Body Hidden Ability, Regice will be able to use the weather to its advantage, remaining in battle for longer and doing even more damage to its foes.

Registeel will feature the Hidden Ability Light Metal. This halves the Pokémon’s weight, reducing the amount of damage Registeel will take from attacks like Grass Knot and Low Kick which increase in power according to the heaviness of the target. The Light Metal Hidden Ability makes Registeel more likely to be able to stay the course and strike back.

To receive these three Pokémon, players need to use Pokémon Link in their copy ofPokémon X, Pokémon Y, Pokémon Omega Ruby or Pokémon Alpha Sapphire after they have accessed their Pokémon Bank using one of these games. Regirock, Regice and Registeel will be received one at a time from Pokémon Bank, and players will be able to receive these three Pokémon only once.

BEAUTIFULLY UNIQUE PLATFORMER KICK & FENNICK SPRINGING ONTO CONSOLES THIS SPRING

Jump into this Stylized Adventure for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and WiiU

Valkenswaard, The Netherlands – March 3, 2016 – One of the most unique and evocative platforming titles released in 2015 is making its way to consoles! Independent game publisher Abstraction Games and developer Jaywalkers Interactive announced today that Kick & Fennick, released in February of 2015 to the PS Vita to rave reviews, is launching later this year on the Xbox One, the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft, the PlayStation®4, as well as the WiiU system.

Check out the ESRB launch trailer HERE: youtu.be/_8oe9_FcgHk

Check out the PEGI launch trailer HERE: youtu.be/wBJ8ojBoZQk

 

Kick & Fennick tells the story of a young boy named Kick who finds himself waking up in a bright and colorful, yet dangerous world. Armed with a giant gun that can be used to shoot down enemy robots, while also allowing him to make huge jumps using the weapon’s powerful recoil, Kick searches for a way to the highest tower in the city to find a new energy core for Fennick, his helpful flying robot friend. Together they must explore this strange, new world, jumping and shooting their way through 45 levels of collapsed skyscrapers, treadmills, bouncypads, magnets, teleporters, and a big guard robot that is never far behind!

“With Kick & Fennick, we tried to create a unique platforming experience. We’ve had fantastic reactions and can’t wait for a wider audience to be able to play through it,” said Vincent Bonefaas, Co-Founder of Jaywalkers Interactive. “Platforming fans looking for a breath of fresh air in the genre should definitely check it out, and we can’t wait to hear their feedback.”

Gamers take on the role of Kick, a young boy who must use his brains and propellant rifle to traverse and advance through the sprawling, intricate worlds (along with his robot pal Fennick, of course).
Key features of Kick & Fennick include:

  • Players take on the role of Kick and must use a combination of jumping and blasting to navigate all 45 levels and find their way to the Core Tower to save Fennick!
  • Marvel at the brightly colored world of Kick & Fennick with inspired character design, intricate and delightfully chaotic levels, highly-detailed animations, and a cinematic camera system that dynamically follows all of the action.
  • Kick & Fennick offers up challenging platforming adventures and puzzles that will keep gamers of all ages entertained.  As unique as it is challenging, Kick & Fennick continues to find new ways to push your platforming skills to their absolute limit you use an oversized weapon which is both challenging to master, but gives you the ability to reach platforms and items that you would not normally be able to reach in a standard platformer.  Kick and Fennick is distinctive in the way that learning the capabilities that your weapon gives you is paired well with the exceptional level design.
  • Kick & Fennick is a true “smooth and easy-going” platformer – it’s challenging enough to make you feel as though you’re continually accomplishing challenges, but not to the point where you’ll throw your controller in frustration! The intricacy and difficulty of the puzzles ramps up gradually and right along with your comfort level for the game’s unique play mechanics.
