FIGHT THE ENEMY IN THE FROZEN FIELDS OF EASTERN EUROPE IN VOLV INTERACTIVE’S WARFARE NATIONS FOR iOS

Beijing – June 2, 2014 – Wargaming on iOS just got better. Introducing Warfare Nations by VOLV Interactive, an online strategy game following in the footsteps of Advance Wars and Neo Geo classic Metal Slug. Warfare Nations can be downloaded for free from the App Store today.

The Great War has descended upon Europe. You’re the Commander, the only one standing between glorious victory and certain death. Your troops need your leadership–now more than ever—to survive one of the bloodiest conflicts in human history. Enter the shallow trenches of Europe and show the world what true fighting spirit looks like!

Choose a side (Silver Fox or North Polar), and then assemble troops and resources in order to take over enemy bases of increasing difficulty. Train your troops (riflemen, sharpshooters, medics, grenadiers and more); build armor units (armored cars, lightweight/heavy tanks); summon air support when needed (air superiority fighters, bombers); and establish outposts on enemy territory to generate indispensable iron and gold—the key resources for expanding your army and upgrading your troops.

“Warfare Nations offers players the complexity of a PC strategy game with the usability of a mobile app. It’s a game we’ve wanted to make for a long time—and we’re happy it turned out the way it did,” says Jack He, marketing manager at VOLV Interactive. “We think players will enjoy the look of Warfare Nations as well as the soundtrack inspired by epic war movies. Silver Fox or North Polar? May the best army win!”

Warfare Nations can be played solo (single-player campaign) or against opponents from all over the world through the PvP Outpost.

Key Features

Two sides to every story: Pledge your allegiance to either Silver Fox or North Polar.
War can be beautiful: Gorgeous retina graphics with 4 unique environments–Outskirts, Forest, Countryside, and Ruins.
Dominate both land and sky with 50+ powerful combat units: 9 different infantry troops and armored units, plus 7 unique air support units.
Conduct research to take your army to the next level: 35+ resource bases to explore and research new technologies.
Draw your troops into battle: Line-drawing control system (think Flight Control).
Engage in boss fights: 7 personality-laden bosses between levels—each fight worthy of a victory bonus.
Build your army: Collect enough gold and iron to upgrade your HQ and strengthen your troops.
Quick online battles: Always fast-paced—with just 1 minute to get started, and 5 minutes per round.
Obliterate your enemies online: Challenge thousands of other players, raid their bases, and enjoy the spoils of war!
Marching madness: Awesome soundtrack that pays homage to the heroic war movies of the 20^th century.
Smooth operator: Seamless connection for smartphones and tablets with matchmaking; supports Wi-Fi and 2G/3G/4G.

Warfare Nations is free to download and play. A discounted Starter Pack will be available for a limited time ($1.99)—providing players with enough diamonds, iron, and gold to teach the enemy a few valuable life lessons 🙂

The game is also available on Android (through Google Play and Amazon’s Appstore), and it will soon be available on Windows Phone.

“Who’s Next?” Well, it looks like Sub-Zero was next… poor guy! The Lin Kuei master really doesn’t have a good track record against his (im)mortal enemy Scorpion, and it continues in the Mortal Kombat X announcement trailer. That’s right, Mortal Kombat X has been revealed by mister Ed Boon on Twitter, and now Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment have provided us with more official details of the title. NetherRealm Studios’ next instalment in the iconic fighting franchise will release in 2015 for the Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3 and PC. It will make its first public appearance at E3 in just 8 days.

Creative Director, Ed Boon, and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment President, Martin Tremblay, had this to say about the game;

Mortal Kombat is our acclaimed, world-renowned franchise and we are now advancing the fighting genre with Mortal Kombat X. NetherRealm Studios is best in class at delivering games fans love and they are taking their iconic brand to the next level with Mortal Kombat X. – Tremblay

Mortal Kombat has always been about over-the-top, visceral fighting and with Mortal Kombat X we wanted to utilise the power of new-gen consoles to give players our most intense game yet. The team has worked hard to make sure Mortal Kombat X delivers everything fans expect along with new characters, new game modes and an all new graphics engine. – Boon

Mortal Kombat X will present the most cinematic experience in the series yet, one that is every bit as brutal as its predecessors (if not more!) and fully-connected, boasting a persistent online contest where players will fight for global supremacy. For the first time ever, Mortal Kombat X will allow players the choice of multiple variations of each characters, promising to offer different strategic and stylistic impacts as a result. As has been the case with the team’s last two releases, there will also be an original Story Mode, featuring fan favourites such as the franchise mascots in Scorpion and Sub-Zero, whilst introducing all-new challengers.

Also unveiled as part of the game’s announcement is an original track by Rostrum/Atlantic recording artist Wiz Khalifa entitled “Can’t Be Stopped”. The rapper is a huge Mortal Kombat fan – as is evident by his reference in “The Race” – and wrote this song specifically for the trailer.

RISE UP AND STRIKE BACK AS CRYTEK AND DEEP SILVER ANNOUNCE HOMEFRONT®: THE REVOLUTION

Larkspur, Calif., June 2, 2014 – Wage guerrilla warfare and reclaim the streets of Philadelphia in Homefront: The Revolution, a captivating new free-roaming FPS to be co-published in 2015 by Crytek and Deep Silver.

Coming to Xbox One, the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation®4, PC, Mac and Linux in 2015, Homefront: The Revolution throws players into a near future dystopia. Catastrophic events have brought the United States to its knees and enabled the Korean People’s Army forces to impose a brutal military occupation. Trapped in this American nightmare, Philadelphia has become a police state, where surveillance drones and armored patrols keep her once-proud citizens at heel, crushing any dissent with totalitarian force.

To overcome their oppressors, players will have to engage in guerrilla warfare and use ambush, infiltration and hit and run tactics in thrilling un-scripted firefights. At every turn they’ll find a sprawling open-world city, in which recruiting fellow revolutionaries and building improvised homebrew weapons are just two of the keys to creating a powerful resistance force.

The Resistance flourishes far beyond the single player. Homefront: The Revolution supports up to four players in online Co-Op gameplay where you form your own resistance cell and become renowned as Heroes of the Revolution.

“Homefront: The Revolution stands out from the crowd by immersing players in a world where they’ll feel emotionally compelled to fight for their freedom,” said Hasit Zala, Game Director at Crytek. “We’re very excited to work with Deep Silver and deliver an experience that underlines Crytek’s commitment to quality whilst tapping into the huge potential we saw when we first acquired the Homefront IP.”

Homefront: The Revolution represents the first time Crytek and Deep Silver have worked together, with the two partners collaborating to release the game as part of a co-publishing agreement.

“Crytek has an outstanding track record of creating AAA action games. Homefront is a fascinating IP with huge global potential. With Crytek`s technical pedigree and Deep Silver´s publishing expertise, we will take the IP to new heights,” said Dr. Klemens Kundratitz, CEO of Deep Silver / Koch Media.

Developed by Crytek’s Nottingham studio, Homefront: The Revolution harnesses the latest features of Crytek’s CRYENGINE technology. On the ground, players will encounter a dynamic environment that looks and feels truly alive as day turns to night and storm clouds come and go – an authenticity that extends to the strikingly lifelike expressions, skin and clothing of everyone they encounter.
