Critically acclaimed Rise of the Tomb Raider available now for PC on Steam and The Windows Store

London, UK. (January 28, 2016) – Square Enix® and Crystal Dynamics®, developers of the critically acclaimed reboot of Tomb Raider in 2013, announced today that Rise of the Tomb Raider® is now available for purchase on Steam® and The Windows Store. The PC version, led by Nixxes Software, will bring stunning visual improvements to Lara Croft®’s continuing adventures, including 4K resolution, advanced graphics, and new Pure Hair technology.

After uncovering an ancient mystery, Lara must explore the most treacherous and remote regions of Siberia to find the secret of immortality before a ruthless organization known as Trinity beats her to it. Faced with the mysterious Remnant leader Jacob, the constant threats of Trinity’s leader Konstantin, and driven by her Father’s unfinished legacy, Lara must become the Tomb Raider she is destined to be. To date, Rise of the Tomb Raiderhas received 64 “Best of” nominations and won 27 awards; now leads the DICE awards with 9 nominations; and, is one of the highest rated titles of 2015.

The highly anticipated Windows 10 and Steam releases are enhanced with new technical features to create an even more immersive experience.

Objects and buildings are significantly enhanced at farther distances thanks to the increased geometry processing power in PC. The beautiful yet hostile environments come alive with new weather effects and dynamic foliage that reacts to Lara’s movements.

Rise of the Tomb Raider is now available as a digital download via Steam, the Windows Store, Amazon™, the Square Enix e-store and other major retailers for £39.99.

The Digital Deluxe edition includes the Season Pass for £59.99. The Season Pass rewards players with an arsenal of new outfits and weapons, along with immediate access to two of the three major releases in the Season Pass. First is the highly lauded Endurance Mode, a fully stand-alone, endlessly replayable adventure which pits Lara against harsh climates and brutal enemies in a procedurally generated hostile environment. Search for relics, food and fire while fighting to last for as many days as you can in the ultimate survival challenge. And out this week is the second DLC in the Season Pass: Baba Yaga: The Temple of the Witch – a new adventure with hours of original story, dangerous new locations, challenging puzzles, and a completely new tomb! The remaining Season Pass pieces are yet to come later this year.

Rise of the Tomb Raider Collector’s Edition, which includes all of the Digital Deluxe edition of the game, a 12-inch Lara Croft statue, replicas of Lara’s journal and jade necklace, and a steel case, is also available from the Square Enix e-store for £109.99.

Nexon and Envision Entertainment Unleash Path of War, A Revolutionary Persistent Massively Multiplayer Mobile Strategy Game

Envision Entertainment, formerly known as EA Phenomic, Launches First Mobile Game
on the App Store for iPhone and iPad and on Google Play for Android Devices

EMERYVILLE, Calif. – January 28, 2016 – Nexon and Envision Entertainment have launched Path of War, a massively multiplayer mobile strategy game, to the App Store for iPhone and iPad and on Google Play for Android devices. Path of War blends action, strategy and MMO genres and features deep base-building mechanics and fast-paced tactical battles for an intense gameplay session every time players pick up their devices. With a 1:1 scale map of the United States functioning as the game board, Path of War offers a persistent massively multiplayer experience with player-vs-player (PVP) skirmishes. Each squadron begins at the Pacific Ocean and races their mobile base across the United States, battling for control of the nation.

“Path of War is the culmination of years of creating games that mesh living game worlds, open alliance systems, strategic base building and tactical PVP combat.” said Dirk Ringe, CEO of Envision Entertainment. “We’ve worked closely with Nexon to refine the gameplay and to build an experience that will last for years to come. We cannot wait to see the chaos flare up between alliances as they race across the map to claim D.C!”

Set in a bleak near-future United States, infrastructure has failed and rebel militias must now battle a corrupt military regime to wrestle back control of the nation’s capital, stabilizing and rebuilding what remains of the country. Players will design, construct, and expand every detail of their high-tech base which they will move across the U.S. on their eastward journey to Washington, D.C., launching intense assaults against other players along the way.

“Envision Entertainment has helped to create unforgettable free-to-play experiences with established franchises like Command & Conquer and Ultima, which we’ve all personally sunk hundreds of hours into,” said John Robinson, General Manager at Nexon M. “The persistent living world they’ve built in Path of War adds an entirely new dynamic to faction-based multiplayer games on mobile that will keep you on your toes every time you sign on.”

Territory expansion across the 1:1 map of the U.S. is the key to success in Path of War. Players will attack enemy encampments to grow their dominion by collecting base upgrades, valuable loot and defense bonuses. Working with allies can enhance players’ ability to control vital territory, as larger alliances open the door to faster strategic takeovers. As friends and foes influence each other, alliances can be forged freely between players on the persistent world map which features real-world geographical locations. Wielding a massive array of weapons, infantry, and armored vehicles, each player will carve out their own path of war.

Path of War is available now as a free download on the App Store for iPhone and iPad and Google Play for Android devices.

Hero Forces, the Real-Time PvP Shooter, Blasts onto iOS and Android

Blow Away Enemies in the Intense Cover Shooter that plays like a Non-Stop, Over-the-Top Action Film

Central, HONG KONG – (January 28, 2016) – What has two thumbs and can save the world from terrorists? Mobile gamers who download Hero Forces… Playcube, a rising mobile games developer, announced today that its new PvP shooting game, Hero Forces, has launched for iPhone, iPad and Android and is available on the App Store and Google Play Store. In Hero Forces, players will step into a supercharged world where, as members of an elite task force, they will take on terrorists and mercenaries from around the globe—or challenge rivals for supremacy in pulse-pounding, real-time PvP matches to see who gets bragging rights.

As seen in the game’s launch trailer, players move between cover points in third-person view while aiming and shooting at opponents using intuitive FPS-style controls. In Campaign mode, gamers progress through a series of challenging scenarios over four action-packed chapters where they must eliminate enemies and achieve mission objectives as they save the world from destruction by the evil organization D.O.O.M. As they go, players will level up, buy new gear, and boost their weapons and armor to overcome increasing levels of challenge. In Survival mode, it’s all-out war as players take down successive waves of enemies in a variety of environments ranging from rain forests to cities to deserts. Hero Forces’ real-time PvP mode allows gamers to quickly take on friends and strangers in 1-on-1 solo battles or 2 vs. 2 team matches—and players can even team up to fight zombies in Co-op mode with up to 4 players.

“Hero Forces puts players right in the middle of non-stop, action movie-style battles they can pick up and play at any time on their mobile device,” said Some Wan, Executive Producer of Hero Forces. “With over 75 levels and thrilling Single Player, Co-op and PvP modes, players can blast away with weapons including guns, RPGs and sniper rifles to take out enemies, win PvP matches and level up to become a true H.E.R.O. of the free world.”

Nearly everything in the free-to-play game can be customized and upgraded, including assault rifles, shotguns, sniper rifles, machine guns, RPGs and armor. While players can buy upgrades and speed their progress, they are not blocked from progressing if they choose to play entirely for free. Players can recruit other heroes and equip them with advanced weapons and armor before they fight alongside the selected player character. The intuitive controls can be quickly mastered by shooter fans while rewarding skilled shooting with bonuses for headshots and combo kills. Players can also utilize grenades to take out groups of opponents, use RPGs to take down vehicles such as attacking helicopters, utilize environmental hazards like oil barrels to take out multiple enemies  and switch weapons on the fly to eliminate enemy snipers and tough level bosses.

Playcube will support Hero Forces post-launch with additional updates including a new fifth chapter of Campaign mode missions, 2 extra level for Co-op mode and new in-game content so players can always find new battles and challenges.
