WARFRAME RELEASES FIREY NEW UPDATE FOR PLAYSTATION 4 and XBOX ONE

New Nezha Warframe, Weapons, and Customizations Bring the Heat in Latest ‘Ring of Fire’ Update for Consoles

London, ON — (January 29 2016) — Digital Extremes continues to set the high bar for AAA quality in free-to-play with the release of Ring of Fire, an extensive new update for its hit sci-fi action game, Warframe®.  Ring of Fire is available now on PlayStation®4 and Xbox One and features a variety of items to set the game ablaze.

The only thing better than leaving enemies in the dust is turning them to ash. Ring of Fire understands this and puts hot new tools into players’ arsenals, starting with the fire-based Nezha Warframe, who leaves a graceful trail of devastation in his wake.

New Weapons and bold Customizations also give Tenno battling throughout the Solar System power and choice. Among the additions, cosmetic upgrades for Loki, the elusive trickster Warframe. A brand-new Deluxe Skin, Helmet and unique set of Armor give Loki fashion even the enemy is sure to appreciate — when they can spot him.

Ring of Fire highlights:

NEZHA WARFRAME — A petite and playful facade conceals this Warframe’s immense power. Nezha’s Abilities include:
· Fire Walker – Blaze a trail of flames, scorching enemies and cleansing allies.
· Blazing Chakram – Hurl a flaming ring that burns enemies and causes them to emit a healing blast on death. Reactivate to travel instantly to the ring’s location.
· Warding Halo – Create a protective ring of fire that also stuns and damages enemies who get too close.
· Divine Spears – Impale nearby enemies on spears that erupt from the ground.

NEW WEAPONS — The enemy never knows what hit them when struck by the blazing-fast SHAKU nunchaku. Inflict maximum devastation with the massive SYDON Grineer trident and elevate martial combat into an art form with the DESTREZA, a swift Tenno rapier.

NEW CUSTOMIZATIONS — New customizations continue to let Tenno battle with their own unique style.
· Loxley Helmet – A uniquely-styled Helmet for Ivara.
· Foxglove, Bombyx and Samia Syandanas – Envelop Warframes in these silky nature-inspired Syandanas.
· Moth Syandana Pack – Featuring three colorful silken capes inspired by nature, this bundle includes the Foxglove, Bombyx and Samia Syandana.
· Loki Knave Skin – A new guise for an old trickster.*
· Loki Knave Helmet – A Helmet to match the Loki Knave Skin.*
· Hulta Leg Guards, Chest Guard and Arm Guards – Loki Knave’s looted Armor.*
· Dual Kamas Nari and Vali Skin – Turn the Dual Kamas into a stylish sword and dagger combo with this Skin.*

Gazillion’s Marvel Heroes 2016 Initiative Begins Today

First Wave of Updates Includes New Story Chapter, Controller Support, Updated Character Models, Revamped Deadpool, Leaderboards, Playable Black Cat and More

FOSTER CITY, CA — January 29, 2016 — Gazillion, Inc., announced today that its first wave of the Marvel Heroes 2016 initiative – the biggest update to its super-powered free-to-play action-RPG in nearly two years – is now available for download at MarvelHeroes.com and on Steam. Today’s update includes a number of highly requested improvements for PC and Mac gamers, highlighted by the following:

•  “Secret Invasion” Story Chapter: Battle shape-shifting Skrull invaders, including the Super-Skrull and alien versions of Super Heroes, in this adaptation of 2008’s Secret Invasion comic book event. Who do you trust? (A Fortune Card themed to the new chapter is also available.)
• Controller Support: For the first time ever play with the likes of Xbox One and Xbox 360 controllers, the Steam Controller, Logitech controllers and more.
• Visual Updates: Starting with Captain America, Black Widow and Jean Grey, characters introduced with the initial launch of Marvel Heroes will be brought up to the more realistic visual standards of newer characters. Visual Updates for older character models will continue moving forward.
• Leaderboards: The most dedicated players will be recognized, as new Leaderboards begin to be continually added. Tournaments and Seasons will grow out of this eventually, as well.
• Revamped Deadpool: The Merc with a Mouth has been part of the Marvel Heroes lineup since the beginning – with new animations, effects and nine new moves added to his power set, now he’s even better! (A new Zen Deadpool costume is also available.)
• Playable Black Cat: Voiced by Jennifer Hale, just as she was in the 1990s Spider-Man animated series, Felicia Hardy crosses our path as the game’s 55th playable character.
• Agent Venom Team-Up: Once Peter’s Parker high school bully, war hero Lt. Flash Thompson now heroically wears the Venom symbiote, ready to serve beside you.
• Steam Achievements: More than 50 achievements for those who play via Steam.
• Mac Out of Beta: Just like it sounds.

“When we moved from Marvel Heroes to Marvel Heroes 2015, it was to showcase just how much the game had improved since its launch – but it’s had another year and a half of improvements since then, and with today’s launch of Marvel Heroes 2016, the newest additions make it even better,” said Gazillion Studio Director Jeff Lind. “What we’re launching today is just the beginning of what will be the biggest year yet for the game. Our awesome community expects regular updates, and they’ll continue to get those – but it’s the big content drops like today’s first wave of the Marvel Heroes 2016 initiative where the game will really shine. You’ll see these throughout the year, and the best announcements are yet to come.”

Gazillion also recently announced the Advance Pack 3, which includes seven new playable characters for the coming year (Elektra, Green Goblin, Nick Fury, Ultron, Black Bolt, Angela and a hero to be named later) and other in-game items at a discounted price of $59.99 for the Standard Edition. Meanwhile, a $79.99 Deluxe Edition adds in four new Team-Up heroes to be added later this year, such as Spider-Man (Miles Morales) and Ms. Marvel (Kamala Khan), as well as early access to the Iron Spider enhanced costume. Along with all other heroes, both versions of Advance Pack 3 can be purchased at store.marvelheroes.com.
