KOEI TECMO UNVEILS REMAINING PLAYABLE CHARACTERS FOR UPCOMING TACTICAL ACTION EPIC SAMURAI WARRIORS 4-II

BURLINGAME, Calif. – September 10th, 2015 – KOEI TECMO America released today new information and a batch of new assets for Samurai Warriors 4-II, revealing the final group of playable characters  and detailing some of the customization options available to players in this dramatic epic.

Completing the 14 exciting new episodes of the Samurai Warriors saga, the last chapters of Samurai Warriors 4-II revolve around Fealty, Honor, Fate, and War.

The central characters of these thrilling chapters were first introduced as playable in Samurai Warriors 4, apart from the fan-favorite character Gracia, who has been with the franchise since its second installment. Specifically:

• Takatora Todo, a general who has sworn an oath of fealty to the Azai clan and vows to focus on living instead of recklessly endangering his life.

• Lady Hayakawa, whose sense of honor and devotion to her family lead her to accept a cruel fate with bravery and a steady hand.

• Yoshitsugu Otani, whose allegiance to the famed Mitsunari Ishida forces him to face a great enemy.

• Gracia, an innocent young girl with a very unique goal in mind.

In addition to screenshots of the new characters, KOEI TECMO has also revealed customizable options for weapons and mounts that can be used in the game. Both weapons and mounts in Samurai Warriors 4-II have ranks and levels; players can combine similar types of weapons or mounts to upgrade their level and abilities. Combining high rank and high level weapons or mounts with those of the same elemental attribute can result in a “Compatibility Bonus” that allows the weapon or mount to break through the maximum level cap and bestows it new abilities!

These exciting features open up endless possibilities that provide a unique play-style for each of the 14 protagonists of this riveting war drama.

Pokémon GO Allows Players to Catch ‘em All in the Real World

Pokémon, Niantic, and Nintendo Collaborating on New Mobile Pokémon Game Slated for Launch in 2016

Meet the Nibblers! Coral and her friends bare their teeth as Rovio launches brand new mobile game Delicious next step in match-puzzle evolution now available on App Store and Google Play

Helsinki, Finland – September 10th, 2015 – Angry Birds creator Rovio Entertainment Ltd is pleased to introduce the Nibblers, a daring group of fish out of water venturing from the waves to explore the Lands Above – and partake of its forbidden fruits. 

In the Nibblers’ eponymous island-hopping adventure, the gang search for oranges, pears, bananas, plums, rosehips – anything as long as it’s tasty and matches in a row of three or more! – and try to evade the pesky reptilians at the top of this brave new world’s food chain. Coral, Octo, Bouncer and the rest of the toothy gang use their special abilities to knock out obstacles, fend off the ravenous lizards and help players advance through more than 200 unique and puzzling levels – with new ones added all the time.

By connecting to Facebook, players can also challenge their friends in the leaderboards, or cooperate by sharing special gifts that help each other survive and thrive in the fruit-frenzied quest for a new life on dry land. 

“We’re thrilled to bring a completely new IP to the mobile gaming scene,” says Heini Kaihu, Head of Studio at Rovio. “Nibblers may be newly evolved creatures, but fans of our other games will recognize the Rovio touches – strong characters, beautiful visuals, and a lush soundtrack recorded with live orchestra and soloists. This will be a game you want to return to again and again.” 

Nibblers was soft launched in Canada, Finland, New Zealand and Australia at the beginning of the summer. 

“The results in those territories have been amazing, with a very high player engagement,” adds Executive Producer Teemu Hämäläinen. “With early feedback from the soft launch, we’ve also been able to polish the game and develop the gameplay to a very high and compelling standard. We are proud to welcome Nibblers to the global Rovio family.” 

The game is available now in English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Turkish.

Inspired by real-world counter-terrorist organizations, Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege puts players in the middle of lethal close-quarter confrontations.

Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege gives players unprecedented control over their ability to fortify their position by reinforcing walls and floors, using barbed wire, deployable shields, laying mines and more, or breach the enemies’ fortifications using observation drones, setting charges, rappelling and more.
