New Nosgoth character Prophet unveiled and playable today

Ahead of E3, Square Enix is excited to announce the Prophet as the latest character to be joining the Human roster in Nosgoth, from today. Attendees at E3 this year will be able to get hands-on in the dark fantasy world of Humans vs. Vampires, where the new character class will be playable within the City of the Razielim, a brand new map set in the underground for the very first time.

The Human character, Prophet, delivers severe damage to Vampire characters, with her blood curses and magical abilities. Using tainted blood as weapons, bullets dipped in the fluid carry wicked hexes that the Prophet can use against the Vampires. Dual handguns are their weapons of choice and they can select between three unique types:

Dual pistols – Two finely crafted flintlock pistols
Heavy pistols – Heavier Flintlocks that deal more damaging, but fire more slowly
Quick pistols – Lightweight flintlocks that can fire rapidly at the cost of power

As the first class to wield dual weapons along with the ability to use powerful curses and magic, the Prophet is a welcome addition to any team with both supporting and offensive capabilities to aid her allies and devastate her enemies.

Soon to be available after the new character update will be four new terrifyingly striking skins, which allow players to customise a stand out Nosgoth experience, in the fight for supremacy and survival.

Nosgoth is currently in Closed Beta and is constantly being updated with new classes, maps, modes, abilities, weapons, controller and e-sport support, challenges, a league ranking system and much, much more!

About Nosgoth
Developed by Psyonix, Nosgoth is a unique team-based player-versus-player game pitting together a variety of brutal Human and Vampire characters in a fight for survival. Created as a competitive free-to-play title in order to break down barriers between the creators and the players, Nosgoth doesn’t include weapons, items or abilities that are inherently better (aka supremacy goods). All items in the Nosgoth in-game store are side-grades not upgrades to create a fair game experience based purely on skill.

May 29 2014 – Rome, Italy – Today GhostShark Games is proud to announce that their voxel based PvP FPS, Blockstorm, is available on Steam Early Access.

BlockStorm is an FPS set in a world that consists entirely of destructible blocks and with the in-game editor, it allows you to fully customize your game and quickly share your creations with other players. You’re free to create your own maps and characters from scratch or simply customize existing ones.

‘BlockStorm is our first commercial production and we hope you will appreciate our efforts. After a year of work, we have built a basis on which to develop, following the varied opinions of our community,’ said Davide Barbieri, game director at GhostShark Games, ‘BlockStorm will be available on Steam Early Access and this means that the game will change as you play. Based on your feedback, we will update, add content and ultimately evolve. It’ll remain in development until we feel the community believes the game is ready for a full commercial release.’

The maps and characters included in the game are made with the same tools that are available to the public, so you’re only limited by your imagination.

Weapons range from precise rifles to heavy machine guns or even explosives capable of destroying hiding places and creating tactical advantages. So now, there really is no hiding place that a pesky camper can hide in and stay safe in the game’s 3 modes – Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch and Assault.

Pick out your own load out, choosing between a set of weapons configured by the creator of the map.

You can build anything and everything in Blockstorm, and best of all, it can & will be destroyed!.

THE AWARD-WINNING RTS SERIES IS COMING SOON TO THE IPAD WITH STRONGHOLD 3: THE CAMPAIGNS

Build an Empire, Rewrite History, and Crush Oncoming Enemies in This Epic Castle Sim

Stamford, Ct. – May 29, 2014 – Digital Tribe Games, the premier global publisher for independent game developers, announced today that Stronghold 3: The Campaigns will be available next month for the iPad. Stronghold 3: The Campaigns will bring the same addicting level of excitement and in-depth gameplay from the beloved PC series to the ultimate portable platform. Designed exclusively for the iPad, Stronghold 3: The Campaigns uses realistic physics and high-quality graphics to present daily medieval life in stunning detail.

Watch the Stronghold 3: The Campaigns launch trailer HERE: www.youtube.com/watch?v=73CIHN85Qm0&feature=youtu.be

“The Stronghold franchise was met with great success and acclaim on PC and is a perfect fit for the iPad,” said Melanie Mroz, VP of Business Development, Digital Tribe Games. “Fans and newcomers alike can enjoy the trademark real-time castle-building gameplay anywhere in the world, and the talented developers have spent a great deal of time, effort, and care to optimize and fine-tune the game specifically for this platform.”

Stronghold 3: The Campaigns is a unique cross between a city builder and real-time strategy game (RTS). The key to the game is the castle – designing, managing, and defending it. Each of these elements is crucial and players will need to consider all of these components to become a true ruler. Since its original launch in 2001, the Stronghold series has sold more than 3 million copies, making it one of the most popular games in its genre.

Key Features in Stronghold 3: The Campaigns

· Design and build mighty castles from which to launch campaigns

· Build and take control of powerful, imposing armies

· Launch sieges and defend against enemy attacks

· Devise personalized tactics and strategies to vanquish opponents

· Run a medieval economy and manage every slice of gritty, grim medieval life

· Fully dynamic castle construction doesn’t confine players to a grid-based system

Stronghold 3: The Campaigns will be available for the iPad in late June 2014 on the App Store.
