DUNGEON DEFENDERS II UNLOCKS ‘LOOT & SURVIVE’ UPDATE TODAY ON STEAM EARLY ACCESS

DUNGEON DEFENDERS II UNLOCKS ‘LOOT & SURVIVE’ UPDATE TODAY ON STEAM EARLY ACCESS 

New hero levels, gear, stats and evolving pets give players the power to take on additional game modes and challenges 

GAINESVILLE, Fla. – July 28, 2015 – Today Trendy Entertainment released the largest update yet to its action tower defense game, Dungeon Defenders II. The ‘Loot & Survive’ patch significantly improves leveling and progression by increasing the player hero level cap, expanding the loot system, adding new gameplay and difficulty modes, and evolving the pet system.

First and foremost, ‘Loot & Survive’ increases the hero level cap from 25 to 50. As heroes level up, players can choose rewards, like skill spheres, to advance them even further. The update revises the hero deck so that players can unlock more slots (up to four) as they play, and when a hero is fully leveled, players will receive an experience boost for the rest of their deck.

‘Loot & Survive’ adds a tutorial and multiple gameplay and difficulty modes to Dungeon Defenders II, as well. The game has been rebalanced overall to be more fun for solo adventurers, and there are new mini-bosses throughout the campaign. Completing the campaign unlocks the endless survival challenge of Onslaught Mode and Adventure Mode, which lets players take on base maps at a harder difficulty setting. And for true punishment, Nightmare Modes I-IV open up at level 40.

Player companion pets are also growing. Not only are there more to acquire in ‘Loot & Survive,’ but pets can now evolve, giving them new active abilities and, in some cases, changing their appearance. Today’s patch also allows players to reroll their current pets for more desirable stats.

Furthermore, ‘Loot & Survive’ moves Dungeon Defenders II closer to another development milestone with the addition of the very first story tools to the game. NPCs are now able to talk (though what they say may not make very much sense yet). New daily missions with better rewards are now available, as are monthly missions with very unique and exciting prizes. The update also includes a host of balance changes, new special enemies, an improved game launcher, and new costumes, including the Pirate Monk, Tiger Monk and Farmer Apprentice.

Set in the magical world of Etheria, Dungeon Defenders II is a third-person action tower defense game featuring single-player and cooperative online multiplayer gameplay. Players set up and evolve their characters and defenses to withstand wave after wave of invading enemy minions and bosses. The title builds on the core combat, strategy and RPG elements of the original Dungeon Defenders with new systems, abilities, loot and challenges.

Dungeon Defenders II is now available on PC via Steam Early Access, on sale for $14.99 for a limited time. An upgraded Collector’s Edition bundle with exclusive skins, costumes and more is also on sale for $44.99 for a limited time. It can also be purchased on sale as part of the Humble Store Tower Defense Madness Sale, from July 28 to 31.

In the future, Dungeon Defenders II will launch on PC, Mac, Linux and the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system as a free-to-play title supported by ethical in-game purchases.

Eyedentity Mobile, Record-breaking RPG “Grand Chase M” to be launched on 30th July

Seoul, Korea, 28th July: Eyedentity Mobile announced the worldwide launch date of “Grand Chase M”, a mobile action RPG based on the popular MMO “Grand Chase”, as 30th July.  Developed by Davinci Games and published by Eyedentity Mobile, “Grand Chase M” follows in the footsteps of its online predecessor Grand Chase and draws players in with vivid anime graphics, spectacular skill animations and quick paced action gameplay.

“Grand Chase M” continues the story about the divided world of “Bermesiah” and its beloved characters, such as “Sieghart”, ”Elesis” and “Lass”, who are striving for the reunification of the realms. Stemming from Grand Chase’s huge success in 15 countries (including America, Japan, Indonesia and Brazil) with a fan base of more than 20 million players worldwide, “Grand Chase M”’s closed beta already drew massive attention to the game and made over 200,000 users pre-register for the official launch.

With so many users participating in the game testing, Eyedentity Mobile had a lot of feedback to go on and applied various game changes together with the developer. As a result, the battle system and the economy have been rebalanced, the new game mode “Wizard’s Labyrinth” has been added, the opening scene has been changed and the UI as well as the encyclopedia system have been redesigned for a more convenient game experience.

The game will be available in 12 languages (Korean, English, Japanese, Chinese, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Indonesian, Thai and also Vietnamese) and will be accompanied by a new theme song. Despite all these changes, familiar voices like Spellknight Ronan’s original voice actor will make a comeback in the game.

“Grand Chase M” is a quick paced mobile action RPG experience, in which players have to strategically set up a group of five heroes to venture across huge dungeon maps, into PvP Battle Arenas, endless challenge dungeons and dangerous raids. To succeed in their adventure, players have to cleverly set up their Heroes’ elements, skills and equipment to make the most out of their party. Each Hero has five unlockable skills, varying between active, passive and special ones, whereas the special ones can be combined with other Heroes’ ultimate skills to perform a devastating “Chase Attack” combo.

On top of the basic, story-based dungeon gameplay, “Grand Chase M” offers many side activities, such as daily event battles, 25 player raids, PvP rankings, Hero Growth, Gear Enhancement and much more. An intriguing blend of stunning skill animations, intense action and an amazing anime style is what makes this game special.

Andreas Günter, COO of Eyedentity Mobile’s Western division, states: “With Grand Chase M, we have received a flagship title for our mobile branch that perfectly complements our current portfolio. We have put a lot of effort into publishing a mobile game with a free-to-play model that is fair for new players and loyal Grand Chase fans alike.
Grand Chase M’s soft launch showed us how thoroughly players enjoy the game. With the official release, we can now welcome both loyal fans and new players to an intriguing action adventure for mobile devices.
In the future, we will continue to develop new and expand existing content, based on player feedback and close cooperation with our players.”

Plenty of updates are already prepared. For a start, the guild system will be expanded to make the game’s social side more attractive and immersive. Adding to that, more new systems (e.g. “Transcendence”, a new system to upgrade the playable Heroes), a variety of new characters (e.g. familiar Heroes like Asin, Uno, Lass, Edel and Veigas) and new game modes (e.g. the “Trial Tower”, an endless round-based dungeon in which players have to continually clear harder floors) will be implemented in late summer and autumn.

On 30th July, “Grand Chase M” will officially be launched for both iOS and Android in 198 countries, including the United States, Japan, the United Kingdom, France and the Philippines.

Kyn has been a long time coming. We thought we’d be able to complete it in a year – it has taken four and half!” quoted Victor Legerstee from Tangrin Entertainment. “It was a labor of love spent painstakingly crafting a grand tactical RPG. And it was well worth it. Kyn has turned into a rich RPG we are truly proud of and it will be a great escape for gamers who love to tinker with their heroes, fight tactical battles and solve the occasional brainteasing puzzles.”

KYN brings a beautiful, mythical environment to life through its rich story and beautiful landscapes,” said Versus Evil General Manager Steve Escalante. “The depth in this game is truly amazing, from the hundreds of items that can be crafted, to the highly customizable six-player party and the 20-plus hour story – all created by a two-man dev team. This title truly embodies the indie spirit of Versus Evil and we are happy to be able support Tangrin on their debut video game release.”

KYN is a fast-paced role-playing game set in a world where Viking mythology collides with magic. Inside the world of KYN players will utilize classic strategic RPG elements to devise traps and traverse through a unique realm with plenty of puzzles to solve and enemies to defeat. Players will control a party of up-to six different characters, all customizable with different skills and traits as they unravel the mysteries of KYN and perfect their own fast-paced fighting styles.

July 28, 2015 — The wait is over and the battle lines are drawn as Wargaming announces World of Tanks is now available globally on Xbox One. Custom built for the platform, World of Tanks on Xbox One fully harnesses the power of the console and brings a world first to gamers with cross-platform play between the Xbox One and Xbox 360 consoles. With the addition of stunning enhanced graphics and a new “Proving Grounds” (PvE) mode, the new generation of tank warfare has at last arrived.

World of Tanks on Xbox One delivers an amazing first-to-market function for console tankers with never before seen Xbox cross-platform multiplayer battles. Furthermore, a single Xbox Live account sign-in exists between those two platforms, preserving all Tech Tree progress and in-game research, no matter which Xbox is accessing the fight.

“Across all platforms, World of Tanks has one of the most dedicated online communities of players and we are expanding that community as we break new ground with this revolutionary cross-platform play functionality on console,” stated Denny Thorley, SVP of product development, Wargaming. “With this technological innovation we are able to bridge the battle between Xbox One and Xbox 360 tankers, and we’re excited to offer players their first-ever opportunity to play across the two, together and seamlessly.”

World of Tanks cross-platform gameplay delivers another innovation with voice chat between platforms and cross-platform achievements through a single Xbox Live account. The game also ramps up the combat with enhanced graphics and lingering battle damage thanks to the Havok damage physics system.

“Xbox is excited to bring the hugely successful World of Tanks franchise to the Xbox One. With over 3.5 million World of Tanks players worldwide on Xbox 360, we look forward to bringing the custom built next generation experience to our Xbox One fans,” said Jeremy Hinton, Head of Interactive Entertainment at Microsoft Australia.

The all-new “Proving Grounds” (PvE) mode debuts, providing the perfect entry point for new tankers and an excellent practice arena for existing tankers. Finally, players will be able to share every glorious victory via the full slate of social and streaming support offered on the Xbox One platform.
