LONDON, UK — September 17, 2015 — Today, Ubisoft released a brand new video focused on the long-standing tradition of this legendary franchise, continuing the commemoration for its 20^th anniversary. The video focuses on the extensive single player campaign, well known factions, expanded tactical combats as well as a strong storyline. Might & Magic® Heroes® VII will be available exclusively on Windows® PC worldwide on September 29^th, 2015.

The Might and Magic Heroes VII second closed beta was a great success within the Heroes community. The beta gathered tens of thousands of users who played cumulatively more than 230,000 hours worldwide. During these 12 days of closed beta, players were able to test four of the six different factions set to be present in the game at release: Haven, Academy, Dungeon and Sylvan and fought in over 9 million battles in the world of Ashan. As part of the Shadow Council initiative, players were able to vote for the two factions they wanted to play during the second beta phase on top of the original two factions from the first closed beta: both Sylvan and Dungeon were selected and figures showed players’ excitement and commitment to try them out.

Might & Magic Heroes VII is being developed by Limbic Entertainment, a team of devoted Might & Magic fans, and promises to be the best of the series by respecting its long-standing tradition and introducing features chosen by the community. Combining a deep fantasy universe with a complete strategic experience, a rich RPG progression and a strong story narrative, Might & Magic Heroes VII offers players a more detailed world than ever to explore and conquer, a complex economic system to master and legendary creatures to face in epic battles.

Total War™: WARHAMMER® – First Gameplay Shows Dwarfs In Epic Subterranean Battle

One of the many Quest Battles from Total War: WARHAMMER, the Ambush at the Thundering Falls gameplay demo is now available to view: https://youtu.be/iK0BMkKmwB4

The Ambush at the Thundering Falls gameplay demo video files for Total War: WARHAMMER are loaded to ASPERA now and can be downloaded using the following address:

This Let’s Play is an example of an early Quest Battle from the Dwarfs campaign. In the vast tunnels of the Underway, a Dwarfen force lead by High King Thorgrim Grudgebearer is ambushed by a Greenskin horde. Showcasing new features and never-before-seen units battling underground for the first time in a Total War game, this video is a taste of things to come and a glimpse into the dark and exciting fantasy world of Total War: WARHAMMER.

The Dwarfs are one of the main playable races in Total War: WARHAMMER and like all the races, have a playstyle that is unique to them. They are sturdy warriors and ingenious engineers, the detail and scale of the cavernous underground cities, or Dwarfholds, they inhabit reflects this. Dwarfs foster a defensive playstyle, and this can be seen here as they use stout melee troops and powerful artillery to fend off the Greenskin ambush from all angles.

Furthermore certain races, such as the Dwarfs, can utilise the ancient Dwarfen Underway to bypass campaign map obstacles. These races can also recruit units which gain combat bonuses for fighting in subterranean battles.

View the latest Total War: WARHAMMER in-engine cinematic, revealing the Dwarfs as a playable race and exploring their backstory, here: http://youtu.be/lL7pBMxdX6o

This demo will be available for the public to play for the first time at EGX 2015 as well as other global gaming events throughout October. EGX takes place at the NEC in Birmingham from September 24^th – 27^th. For more information and tickets, head to EGX’s official site here: https://www.egx.net/. Stay tuned to the Total War social media channels for further information on upcoming events.

KOEI TECMO RELEASES NEW SCREENSHOTS AND INFORMATION FOR ARSLAN: THE WARRIORS OF LEGEND 

First Playable Demo Available at Tokyo Game Show 2015 

BURLINGAME, Calif. – September 17, 2015 – KOEI TECMO America released today new information and a batch of new assets, including screenshots, artwork, and an extended trailer for the upcoming Arslan: The Warriors of Legend, a tactical action title based on the epic novel, manga, and anime IP, The Heroic Legend of Arslan.

The brand new assets reveal four additional playable characters: Farangis, Gieve, Alfreed, and Kishward. Diverse yet oddly complementing each other’s skills and expertise, this band of wandering warriors will help the Crown Prince Arslan on his fateful journey to reclaim his throne and liberate his kingdom. Each of these unique individuals has their own special move, designed to impressively clear the battlefield of their numerous enemies with a dramatic effect! Details on the new characters revealed are as follows:

• Farangis: An exquisitely beautiful priestess of Mithra who was sent to protect Arslan at the battle of Atropatene. Her mysterious skills include an uncanny dexterity with the bow and the ability to communicate with Djinn. 

• Gieve: A wandering bard and skilled warrior who initially follows Arslan due to his attraction to Farangis, but gradually grows to care for Arslan’s cause. Although he is proficient with many weapons, he prefers to take on his enemies using an Oud!

• Alfreed: The daughter of the ‘Zot’ tribe leader, Alfreed is an expert rider and quite handy with a bow and sword. He develops an infatuation with Arslan’s strategist, Narsus, after he saves her life.

• Kishward: A Cavalry General of Pars, whose dual-wielding fighting style gave him the name ‘Twin-Blade General’. He has long had a friendly relationship with Arslan thanks to their shared love of falconry.

Additionally, KOEI TECMO released today a Japanese gameplay trailer in support of the first ever hands-on playable look at the game’s bright, cel-shaded world! A ten minute demo of Arslan: The Warriors of Legend will be available to the public at Tokyo Game Show this week.

The game is currently slated to release in early 2016 in North America for the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, and Xbox One, the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft. It will also be simultaneously available digitally for the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system.

About Arslan: The Warriors Of Legend

Originally written as a novella 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. Arslan and his few companions must re-assemble an army and fight against overwhelming odds to regain his throne and liberate his kingdom. Through his exploits he reaches emotional maturity, while the series also tackles underlying issues of slavery, religious fanaticism, betrayal, and humanity.

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, Arslan: The Warriors of Legend delivers a gaming experience designed to fully immerse the player into Arslan’s universe!
