Groundbreaking Excavation Light-Sim DIG VR Launches Today On Meta Quest

Unearth fully immersive, zen-like gameplay that recreates the feeling of driving a real-life digger in VR

Watford UK – 14th November 2024 – Publisher Wired Productions and developer Just Add Water are thrilled to launch DIG VR, the authentic light-simulation virtual reality excavator game. Launching at 6 pm GMT / 10 am PT on Meta Quest priced at £14.99 / $19.99 / €19.99, it’s time to put on your hard hat, his-vis jacket, take a seat and get digging! 

Meta Quest players can now dive into the realistic experience of operating heavy machinery in excavators through virtual reality, capturing the sheer joy, adrenaline and frustrations of life on a digger.

Enter the town of Diglington, where the journey to becoming a master of operating excavators starts off with nothing more than a mini-digger and a dream. Players will experience several types of diggers making their way through heavy machinery up to operating a colossal machine. Featuring a diverse set of attachments to help you overcome the most challenging of jobs, players will dig, delve, dredge, and of course, discover their love of all things excavational.

“When we set out to create Dig VR, my goal was to craft an experience that felt instantly familiar and intuitive – especially for anyone who’s ever been behind the controls of a digger.” – said Leo Zullo, Managing Director at Wired Productions, “I wanted players to feel at ease straight away, as if they already knew how to navigate the world. At the same time, I wanted the game to be accessible and engaging for newcomers, with controls that just make sense from the start. Whether players are reliving memories of real-world experiences, making new ones, or comparing it to the real thing, I wanted them to feel that every detail was created with love, care, and respect for the mechanical beasts. Between the teams at Wired Productions and Just Add Water, I truly believe we’ve pulled it off, and I can’t wait for players to experience Dig VR for themselves.”

“I’m so happy for Dig VR to finally be released and for players to get their hands on it!, said Ben Hinchliffe, Lead Designer at Just Add Water, “Everyone has put so much passion and effort into the game, we really hope that shines through and people enjoy it as much as we do.”

Ruckus Games Unlocks $19M Chest in Series A Funding

Ruckus Games secures $19 million in Series A funding to revolutionize multiplayer gaming with its debut title.

November 14th, Frisco, Texas – Ruckus Games has raised $19 million in Series A funding to fuel its mission to disrupt the multiplayer landscape. Their debut title, a third-person, cooperative, session-based RPG shooter, promises to deliver a unique blend of style, humor, and explosive action.

Ruckus Games was founded in 2021 by a spirited team of award-winning industry veterans led by CEO and Game Director, Paul Sage. Renowned for his work as Creative Director on the multi-billion-dollar franchise Borderlands 3 and the massively popular Elder Scrolls Online, Sage brings unparalleled experience to the helm. Joining him is Art Director, Scott Kester, whose visionary work was key in transforming the original Borderlands aesthetic into the iconic graphic novel style that defined the series. Together with founders Carl Shedd, Kevin Penrod, Keith Schuler, Chris Strasz, and Jesse McIntyre, this all-star team, hailing from gaming giants like Gearbox, Riot Games, Blizzard, Epic Games, and more, is poised to redefine the multiplayer landscape.

Ruckus Games’ new title will offer co-op for up to four players in an evolving world that will be updated with new emergent content over time. Featuring a large roster of playable characters and thousands of unique make-shift  weapon combinations — like a toaster kitted to shoot saw blades or a modded power washer turned flamethrower — players will “Smash, Grab, and Grow” as they blast their way through thrilling suburban invasion scenarios. Set in a reminiscent era amongst the backdrop of the American heartland, destroy whatever you want, find cool new weapons and resources, rescue NPCs to take back to your Hometown, then upgrade your weapons and abilities to head out even stronger for another round of chaotic fun. 

To bring this ambitious vision to life, Ruckus Games secured $5.5 million in seed funding led by Transcend Fund in late 2022. This investment was instrumental in developing a high-quality prototype that showcases the game’s immense potential. Made by only 14 people in 12 months, this prototype proved that Ruckus Games’ development costs remain much lower than AAA, while the team still delivers that same level of quality and fun of titles with exponentially bigger budgets.

“Ruckus Games is the epitome of what we seek in our investments—a visionary team with an extraordinary track record in games as a service, poised to carve out a blue ocean in the multiplayer gaming space,” said Andrew Sheppard, GP at Transcend Fund and a board member at Ruckus Games. “This Series A, the strongest in its category this year, not only validates our early belief in their potential but also underscores their capacity to innovate and lead.” 

The momentum generated by this early success led to a $19M Series A funding round led by KRAFTON, with participation from BITKRAFT Ventures, Transcend, HYPERGRYPH, and others. 

“We believe in the future of co-op gaming, and the Ruckus team has demonstrated incredible progress with a small team in a short period of time,” said Maria Park of KRAFTON, who will be joining the Board of Directors. “They’ve crafted something so on-trend, with stylish action and humor, that it not only entertains but also connects players in memorable ways – a vision that strongly resonates with KRAFTON.”

Clare Yang, Head of Investment at HYPERGRYPH added, “We’ve had the privilege of witnessing how Ruckus Games is pushing the boundaries of the looter shooter genre with their player-centric development approach. Chinese players represent one of the largest and most passionate gaming communities in the world, with a strong demand for something new, authentic, and fun. That’s exactly what we believe Project Bobcat offers. We are excited to partner with Ruckus Games and support their creative vision in the long term.”

“Successfully raising a $19M Series A in the current environment is truly remarkable,” said Jasper Brand, Partner at BITKRAFT. “It is a testament to the team’s long-standing bond together and their ability to build a highly polished game proving fun moment-to-moment, a compelling style, and depth of systems with high replayability after raising a Seed round.”

This incredible support from such a distinguished group of investors is a testament to the potential of Ruckus Games. As Paul Sage, CEO and Game Director, put it, “Having KRAFTON and HYPERGRYPH join us is amazing. They bring not only a global reach, but as developers themselves, they bring a unique perspective to our team. I felt incredibly lucky to have great investors like Transcend, BITKRAFT and 1Up Ventures in our Seed Round and this level of support is a great show of confidence that bodes well as we search for the right publishing partner going forward.”

As development continues at a rapid pace, the team is expanding their roster of talented game developers. Ruckus Games is currently accepting applications for experienced candidates seeking to craft unparalleled gameplay experiences for today’s audience.

Those eager to get their hands on Ruckus’ breakout title will not have to wait long, as sign-ups for early playtest opportunities this Winter are currently open on the Ruckus Games’ Website.

Kingston Technology Remains Top DRAM Module Supplier for 2023

  • Rankings by Revenue Places Kingston No. 1 with 68.8% Market Share
  • Recognized World Leader for 21 Consecutive Years

Australia – November 14, 2024 – Kingston Technology, a world leader in memory products and technology solutions, today announced it has been ranked top third-party DRAM module supplier in the world, according to the latest rankings by revenue from analyst firm TrendForce. Kingston retains its number 1 position with an estimated 68.8% market share. TrendForce states DRAM module sales in 2023 saw a 28% YoY decline across the industry. Kingston’s revenue showed a slight decrease but held its position as the global leader for the 21st consecutive year.

According to the report, the world’s top ten memory module houses accounted for 93% of total sales in 2023 with Kingston maintaining its dominant market share of 68.8%. The decline was mainly due to an inventory correction phase in the consumer electronics sector following the pandemic. This was exacerbated by high utilization rates among DRAM suppliers, which accelerated the price drop. However, the market started to recover in the second half of 2023. Consumer buying trends for electronic products took a hit following the pandemic but Kingston’s robust brand scale along with its comprehensive regional market layout limited its decline, keeping it firmly at the top of market share rankings.

In 2023, Kingston expanded its portfolio by introducing the Kingston FURY Renegade Pro DDR5 RDIMM, offering overclockable server-grade DDR5 memory tailored for creators, engineers, and data science professionals to support the demands of modern applications. Additionally, Kingston’s 64GB, 32GB, and 16GB Server Premier DDR5 4800MT/s Registered DIMMs were validated for use with the 4th Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors (previously known as Sapphire Rapids). Kingston also refreshed the design of its Kingston FURY Renegade DDR4 memory, incorporating striking two-toned heat spreaders. Earlier in 2023, the company celebrated a major achievement of shipping over 100 million overclockable modules.

“The 2023 findings from TrendForce reflect the company’s ongoing strength and adaptability in the face of yet another demanding business year.” said Kingston. “This milestone not only reaffirms Kingston’s dominant presence in the market but also underscores the company’s resilience and significance within the industry, as we now proudly maintain our top position for the 21st consecutive year.”
