CHATHAM, Kent – Dec. 3, 2015 – Dovetail Games, the multi-award-winning simulation developer and publisher, today released Skychaser, a brand-new aerobatic expansion pack for Microsoft Flight Simulator X: Steam Edition.

Featuring four nail-biting challenges by acclaimed mission developer Jane Whittaker, Skychaser will build your aerobatic skills and test them to the max.

Gold Coast Cruisin’

Giving you an opportunity to familiarize yourself with the Extra as you fly from Brisbane, Australia along the Queensland coast before landing at Gold Coast Airport. Put your precision to the test as you maneuver through this harrowing trial.

Canyon Challenge

Taking you over the peaks and through the crevasses of Yosemite National Park, you will need to perform high-speed aerobatic maneuvers down narrow, winding valleys, over steep mountaintops and other unpredictable terrain. Expect sudden twists and turns, vertical climbs, and sudden dives on this rollercoaster ride of a course.

Snowdonia

Set amidst the Welsh mountains in the UK, this is a course where you must demonstrate your mastery of the Extra 330SC by clinging to the sides of mountains whilst flying at high speeds, mere feet above the surface of lakes. This mission is unforgiving with a fast and frenetic pace.

Low Level

Starting at Half Moon Bay Airport in San Francisco and flying along the edge of the Pacific Ocean to a landing at Shelter Cove, you will soar over the Golden Gate Bridge and marvel at the spectacular scenery of the Sierra Nevada range. To complete this mission, you must fly the entire course at top speed and under 500ft. Are your low level aerobatic skills up for the challenge?

Skychaser is now available exclusively via Steam for $19.99 or bought together with FSX: Steam Edition for $39.99.

DomiNations Cinematic “World War” Trailer Debuts on YouTube

EMERYVILLE, Calif. – December 3, 2015 – Nexon M and Big Huge Games have launched the World War update for DomiNations adding an expansive new team-based multiplayer mode to the hit strategy game which has been downloaded more than 17 million times worldwide. The largest content expansion to date, World War introduces a massive multiplayer mode pitting two Alliances of up to 50 players against one another in an epic two-day battle for territorial domination which plays out on a map of the globe. As part of the World War update, players will also be able to build the new Command Post defensive structure, maximize their base defense on-the-fly with the War Base and Map Editor, participate in global challenges with a new event system and much more. DomiNations, including the new World War update, is available as a free download for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch and Android devices at www.dominations.com.

“DomiNations was built for strategy gamers by strategy gamers, and we’re excited to launch our number one player-requested feature: World War,” said Tim Train, CEO, Big Huge Games. “World War adds a brand new layer of strategy that rewards teamwork, creative base building, and clever approaches to battles. We’re looking forward to the global conflagration!”

In a World War, two Alliances of up to 50 players each will battle each other over two days for global domination, glory and loot. Once initiated, the World War is split into two distinct phases with the first day dedicated to planning and the second day focused on all-out global warfare. On planning day, Alliance members can collaborate and conspire by scouting enemy bases, readying their defenses and donating troops to one another. Equipped with a new Command Post structure which unleashes civilization-specific defenders, players can use the War Base and Map Editor to deploy strategically configured strongholds built for battle onto the world map. On battle day, each Alliance member can attack twice where they can win up to five stars per base destroyed. The Alliance who scores the most stars at the end wins the war. Each member of the World War who makes a successful attack will earn bonus loot, while the winning side will take home the lion’s share.

As one of eight nations, players will research, explore and gather resources and complete strategic single-player and multiplayer conquests to grow their civilization. With more than 100 unique upgradeable structures, units and technologies, players must balance managing their civilization’s food and economy while training their armies to earn valuable loot in battle and defending their own wealth.

About Arslan: The Warriors Of Legend

Originally written as a novel series in the late 1980’s, The Heroic Legend of Arslan has been adapted to manga and anime numerous times, with the most prominent being the 2013 release of a manga series by famed illustrator Hiromu Arakawa (the creator of Fullmetal Alchemist). It tells the story of the young crown prince of Pars, Arslan, as he is forced out of his kingdom when his father, the king, is betrayed and defeated and his domain conquered.

The game adaptation of this magnificent story seamlessly blends the fast paced tactical action gameplay indicative of the Warriors franchise with a stunningly engaging narrative. Using cel-shaded graphics and basing all character design on the anime series The Heroic Legend of Arslan, Arslan: The Warriors of Legend delivers a gaming experience designed to fully immerse the player into Arslan’s universe!
