A brand-new illustration by beloved artist Benitama and system overview trailer have been revealed!

Hertfordshire, 22^nd January 2025 – Today, KOEI TECMO Europe and developer Gust unveiled new information for their upcoming JRPG Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land. In the latest entry of the Atelier franchise, players can freely explore the Aladiss continent by discovering ruins, uncovering hidden treasures, and encountering brand-new characters. A newly unveiled overview trailer gives fans a deeper look at the game system, while a brand-new key visual by Benitama has also been released to the public. Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land will be available 21^st March 2025 on Nintendo Switch™, PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Windows PC via Steam® and, for the first time in franchise history, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One.

Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land follows the adventures of Yumia Liessfeldt and her companions as they set off on a journey to unravel the mysteries behind the cataclysm that destroyed the once great continent of Aladiss, resulting in alchemy becoming taboo. In her quest, Yumia will be assisted by Flammi, a flying, self-confident traveling companion who once belonged to her mother. She will also encounter many different characters throughout her travels, including Licht, a highly skilled informant, Wilma, an anthropologist with a passion for the culture of Aladiss, and Erhard, the leader of the Research Team. Yumia will also encounter the Alber, a small and friendly tribe who live in various parts of the world.

Alongside Yumia, players will explore dungeons and ruins in search of hidden treasures including “memory vials”, remnants of the past that will allow them to consult certain information on the field such as the location of relic treasures around them. “Memory vials” can also be dismantled to obtain rare materials which are useful for synthesis.

By using the treasure trove keys found during their journey, players will be able to access precious treasures. They can find “trait crystals”, which can be used on items or equipment to improve performance from treasure chests. As they venture into Aladiss, fans will also find “mana geysers” which will release “particles”, needed to unlock new synthesis recipes.

In Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land, exploration will not be without its dangers as players will sometimes have to venture into “manabound areas” where highly dense mana lies stagnant. Entering these areas will gradually deplete players’ energy, making it impossible to run, and reducing abilities in battle. While fans can restore their health by finding Alstahlia Flowers, discovering and restoring landmarks will clear the area and improve ease of exploration.

While progressing through the story, players will receive exclusive quests from their travelling companions, but will also be able to gain rewards by completing normal quests. Discovering and unlocking landmarks and Shrines of Prayers during exploration will grant them with location quests.

In addition to the standard edition, players can pre-order two special physical editions; the PREMIUM BOX that includes the base game*, an artbook, a B3-size cloth poster with original illustration, a CD with extra tracks, and an exclusive early access costume for Yumia, “Alchemist of her day off”. The SPECIAL COLLECTION BOX includes all of the content from the PREMIUM BOX, as well as a handkerchief in the style of the Aladiss Research Team bandana, an A1-size tapestry with an original illustration, a set of six decorative keychains, a set of six special clear file folders, a special sticker sheet, Yumia’s precious stuffed animal, an official short story, and accompanying translation booklet.

Everyone who purchases either a physical or digital edition up to two weeks after release will receive the “Athlete of Memories” early purchase costume for Yumia, the “Floating Object of Memories” costume for Flammi, and the exclusive “Training Wrist Weight” equipment.

Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land will be available on 21^st March 2025 on Nintendo Switch™, PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and Window PC via Steam®. The game will include Japanese voices with English, French, German and Spanish texts.

Unlocking Interactive Experiences: Dive into a Thrilling Branching Narrative That Explores the Impact of AI and Technology on Society

Montreal, Canada, January 22nd, 2025 – Signal Space Lab and Actrio Studio are excited to unveil VREX, the innovative proprietary software tool that powers their breakthrough interactive VR experience, Human Within, now available on Meta Quest 2, 3 and Pro. 

Directed by Avi Winkler and Anne Weigel, Human Within seamlessly blends a captivating storyline with interactive gameplay, utilizing VREX to create a thrilling branching narrative, immersing players in a world that explores the profound influence of AI and advanced technology on society while shedding light on the potential threats of misuse.

VREX’s aim is to democratize content creation for both VR and non-VR platforms, making it accessible to all creatives by using easy drag & drop functionality and deep technical menu based inputs. Resembling most timeline bound editors like video editors (Premiere, FinalCut) and digital audio workstations (Protools, Reaper), VREX offers interactivity features and authoring solutions that were integral to the development of award-winning projects such as Afterlife and Human Within.

Designed with both creative and technical teams in mind, VREX enhances immersion while optimizing media management and rendering for various devices. Its complex interactive workflows effortlessly combine branching narratives with attention-based choices that respond immediately to users’ stimuli, including eye movement and sound.

Key Features of VREX

• Media Ingest: Supports a wide array of monoscopic and stereoscopic video formats, including popular options for Windows and MacOS (H.265 compatible).
• Timeline Manipulation: Familiar video editing functionalities, such as zooming, scrolling, and track rearrangement for effective editing.
• Choice Tracks and Logic: Enables selection of tracks based on user-defined criteria, with conditions to enhance branching narratives.
• Attention-Based Choices: Interactive decision-making where video segments play based on user gaze, allowing users to confirm choices by maintaining focus on the desired content. This gaze based interactivity is in addition to other standard choice selection features (ie; point and click)
• File Size Reduction: Innovative composite rendering reduces file sizes while preserving quality, ensuring seamless visuals with consistent color balance.
• High Resolution: Maximizes visual quality by utilizing a proprietary decoding engine that achieves resolutions beyond usual device constraints. Human Within for example uses and decodes 8192 x 8192 video on Quest headsets which are normally limited to 5760 x 5760 pixels.

These features collectively enhance the immersive storytelling experience, making VREX an innovative tool for interactive narrative creation.

Signal Space is currently working alongside video content creators interested in pushing the boundaries of storytelling and giving them free access to the VREX tool. If you would like to be part of our early tester group or want to leverage its features in your next project, please contact us at: [email protected]

About Human Within

Signal Space Lab began pre-production of Human Within, in 2019, including script writing and prototyping the experience under the creative direction of Avi Winkler. Director Anne Weigel and award-winning German producer Actrio Studio joined the project and wrapped principal photography in December 2023. Human Within then began its festival tour in October premiering at FIVARS in Toronto on October 3rd and Beyond The Frame Festival in Tokyo on October 25th-27th, 2024. Supported by Meta, Canada Media Fund, Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg, and Filmstiftung NRW Germany, Human Within aims to raise the bar for interactive narrative VR experiences.

“Human Within is an experimental multimedia mix of film and interactivity that offers a one-of-a-kind look at what drives us to create new tech, and how technology shapes us in return,” said Avi Winkler, Creative Director at Signal Space Lab. “We didn’t just want to tell a story in a passive way, but let the audience play a role in how it plays out. With technology rapidly advancing every day, we wanted to change the way we tell stories in turn.”

Malta, January 20, 2025 – Dorado Games is thrilled to announce the highly anticipated return of Elite Challenges to Conflict of Nations: World War 3. This revamped feature brings a new level of depth and competitive spirit to the alliance warfare experience, offering players the ultimate battleground to prove their strategic mettle.

What Are Elite Challenges?

Elite Challenges are team-based battles where alliances face off against one another in a no-holds-barred test of skill and strategy. Unlike regular alliance challenges, Elite Challenges come with a critical twist, players must be rank 25 or above and gold usage is prohibited! To kick off the return of competitive alliance matches two challenge maps are available, the Mediterranean and Antarctica. This demanding game mode also differentiates from other matches of Conflict of Nations: World War 3 with 2X starting resources and production and the tech tree starting on day 10. This allows commanders to produce much higher army counts and utilise a more diverse range of tech.

Why Now?

Elite Challenges were previously available in Conflict of Nations, but the manual process of setting up these events became unmanageable as the community expanded. After listening to player feedback and refining our systems, we’re excited to announce that Elite Challenges are back with a vengeance! Dorado Games Monetization Manager, Mark Abdilla shares he’s excitement on the feature – “Our elite alliance challenges are an important facet of competitive play and our community takes these challenges very seriously. We’re proud to be one of the very few games out there that actively gives players an option to completely restrict the use of premium currency in favour of serious competition. This, coupled with our recent changes to the way alliances are ranked on our leaderboard, is only a first step in breathing life back into our alliances and providing them with the necessary support to engage with the very best that Conflict of Nations: World War 3 has to offer!”  

How Does It Work?

It couldn’t be any easier to get involved with the action:

1. Challenge Creation – Alliance leaders can initiate a challenge by selecting an Elite Challenge map and inviting another alliance to compete.
2. Challenge Acceptance – The opposing alliance leader can choose to accept or decline the challenge.
3. Player Participation – Once accepted, players from both alliances use their Elite Challenge tickets to join the match. Alliances must strategize and select their top players to compete for ultimate glory.

Get Ready for the Ultimate Test of Strategy

Elite Challenges are available now. Rally your alliance, sharpen your tactics, and prepare to conquer the battlefield like never before.

Conflict of Nations Key Features 

• Grand Long Term Strategy Experience: War wasn’t won in a day, and neither is Conflict of Nations. Prove your military might in online multiplayer matches against up to 140 other players. 
• Show the Might of your Munitions: Your arsenal includes a range of some of the most powerful weapons known to man. But be warned, these weapons come at a cost: Contamination, crimes against humanity, and declining national morale to name a few.
• Turn Formidable Foes into Allies (and then back into foes): Enter enduring alliances, negotiate with other players over resource trades and if needs must- betrayal is always an option.

The new update adds two new headline features and the game will be sold at a 25% discount for the next two weeks. Players will now be able to create their own unique characters with new customisation features that can be applied both when starting a new game and during ongoing games. Modify every element of your character at any time, including their facial appearance, hairstyle, hair and eye colour by approaching one of the mirrors located in the bathroom of each house in the game.

The other big feature in the new update is the addition of collectors to Storage Hunter Simulator. These NPCs are constantly looking for new items to add to their collection. Provide them with the items topping their wishlists and you can gradually earn their appreciation until they eventually reward you with a prize in the form of a unique outfit or valuable statuette related to their area of interest. The number of items that can be delivered in a given week is limited, but it is reset every week. So remember to check every Monday what the collectors are looking for this time.

The new update also includes a number of bug fixes and improvements as Raccoons Studios and BeardedBrothers.Games continue to improve the game based on player feedback during its Early Access period, adding to the recent addition of the much-requested Hard Mode, and with more to come in the future.

Footage of the PGA Championship, U.S. Open, The Open, Ranked Matchmaking, MyCAREER advancement, and Skill Trees are all featured in the exhilarating video

The PGA TOUR 2K25 Gameplay Trailer is here! Transporting players to some of the most iconic courses and tournaments on the PGA TOUR alongside cover pros Tiger Woods, Max Homa and Matt Fitzpatrick, as well as rising star Rose Zhang, the trailer shows off enhanced graphics and new game features, including the new EvoSwing mechanic and Perfect Swing.

Iconic Majors, including the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow, the U.S. Open at Oakmont Country Club, and the 153rd Open at Royal Portrush Golf Club, as well as PGA TOUR tournaments such as the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am at Pebble Beach, THE PLAYERS Championship at TPC Sawgrass, and more are shown in stunning detail, as PGA TOUR pros and custom MyPLAYERS* alike tee off and sink putts. Commentators and crowd reactions celebrate a clean drive onto the fairway, and rebuke a sharp slice into the crowd, while XP bonuses, earned attribute points, and skill tree unlocks reward player progress.

The new EvoSwing mechanic is complemented by new shot types, ball flights, roll physics, and visual improvements. As evident in the trailer, with EvoSwing, a player’s swing is broken down into four components: contact, rhythm, transition and swing path, which are measured and rewarded (or penalised) accordingly. Perfect Swing makes its debut in PGA TOUR 2K25, presenting an all-new difficulty setting that reduces the material impact of external factors on a player’s swing, a truly accessible setting that allows both new and experienced players to enjoy the thrill of hitting fairways and greens like a champion.

For more competitive players, Cross-platform Ranked Matchmaking** returns in PGA TOUR 2K25. This deepens the pool of competition for players who are ready to test their skills and prove their dominance on the “dance floor.”

Authentic brand representation has become a hallmark of the PGA TOUR 2K franchise. Players can customise their MyPLAYERS with the freshest apparel and gear from licensed brands including Titleist, Callaway, COBRA, adidas, and more on display in the Gameplay Trailer.***
