Wormwood Studios and Wadjet Eye Games have announced the release of a three part graphic novella that will serve as a prequel to Primordia. The novella will be known collectively as “Fallen” with the first, and as of yet only, chapter being titled “Awake”.

“Fallen” is a free graphic novella set in the Primordia universe. For those who haven’t played Primordia, it serves as a spoiler-free introduction to its setting, themes, and depth. For fans who have finished the game already, “Fallen” sheds light on some of the mysteries alluded to during the adventure and reveals a bit of what has happened in the world after Horatio’s journey concluded. (Finally, for those who played Primordia and objected to the game’s snarky sidekick, “Fallen” presents the same melancholy world stripped of any light-hearted banter!)

The remaining two chapters of Fallen will be released on a weekly basis and, once completed, all three will be released as a single PDF or ePUB file. For updates, visit the Wormwood Studios Facebook page.

Primordia itself is also available as part of the Indie Royale Hammerhead Bundle. The bundle is pay-what-you-want and runs on Windows only.

Awake can be found in both visual and audio form. Check below to watch the audiobook version and enter the world of Primordia.

Fans of MechWarrior Online better apply some sunscreen and put on their sunglasses because the latest Hero Mech to come off the production line is packing some serious heat. The Hero version of the JagerMech, the FireBrand JM6-FB weighs in at 65 tons and gives pilots a 30% in game ‘C-Bill’ Bonus. The new model also sports a combination of dual PPCs and dual AC/2s, which means any mech out in the open without any defenses will be obliterated in a matter of seconds.

Piranha Games normally brings a host of updates along with its new Mechs and this release is no different. The latest update includes a slew of new game enhancements, including weapons buffs, improvements to the user interface and the ability to take screenshots in game with the keyboard.

A new camo pattern skin named Sherman is also available and will make your Mech look like a tank that has travelled in time all the way from WWII. That’s not all for this update though, as four incredibly dangerous trial Mechs are now available to take for a test drive. These include:

  • Spider SDR-5D
  • Hunchback HBK-4P
  • Cataphract CTF-4X
  • Atlas AS7-RS

As always, these trial Mechs are 100 percent free and available to any and all pilots who want to try different lance combinations and battle strategies before hitting the Inner Sphere to cause ultimate carnage against enemies.

Pro Evolution Soccer 2014 to make use of the Fox Engine

PES-2014-debut

Today Konami had some good news for fans of their Soccer franchise, Pro Evolution Soccer. The company confirmed that the next game in the series, Pro Evolution Soccer 2014, will be released later this year and it will be making use of an adapted version of Kojima Production’s Fox Engine. We will likely see the game in action during Konami’s pre-E3 presentation later this week.

The new engine will allow the game to reach new heights as the past gameplay engine placed limitation on the game’s animation and AI systems. Because of this, the company has worked from the ground up to rework every element of the game, creating what they are saying will be a “new standard for football [soccer] titles.” Konami also announced that the game will only be released on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC and interestingly enough, the PSP.

“It’s clobberin’ time!” Marvel Heroes – the free-to-play action-MMORPG from Gazillion Entertainment – has launched worldwide for PC, with a Mac version in development for later release.

The game will feature 21 of your favorite Marvel Universe super heroes (at launch) from Iron Man, Thor, Hulk and Captain America to Spider-Man and Wolverine, all of which battle through an original, meaty story written by legendary comic book writer Brian Michael Bendis. They also each have unique and extensive levelling systems, power trees and equipment. President and COO of Gazillion Entertainment – and visionary behind Diablo and Diablo II – David Brevik, said;

For over three years we’ve been building Marvel Heroes to be an exciting, free-to-play massively multiplayer action game, and we are ecstatic to finally put it in the hands of Marvel fans and gamers alike. The creation of Marvel Heroes has been a labor of love.  As a die-hard Marvel fan, it’s an honor to give players the chance to take on the roles of their favorite Marvel Super Hero in an epic adventure.

Along with the above features, over 70 years of Marvel history will be paid homage with numerous costumes available to wear, including those seen in The Avengers film. With the ability to instantly swap between characters and set across diverse locations, the fast-paced, action-RPG gameplay of Marvel Heroes (which also includes PvP and End-Game) will provide an intense, but fun experience. Gazillion will be adding new content to the title over frequent updates, from additional story missions to new playable characters, end-game content and much more.

You can download Marvel Heroes from www.marvelheroes.com or via Steam (an internet connection is required to play). We will have our own review up in the coming days. In the meantime, check out the latest episode of the motion-comic, The Chronicles of Doom.
