We’re now super proud of where we have the game. Existing fans will love the 1.0 update, and we hope to see new faces drop into Zakov!”

“It’s thrilling that the day has come for ZERO Sievert to launch in full, we couldn’t have asked for a better team to work with than Luca and our amazing development partners,” said Phil Elliott, CEO at Modern Wolf. “It’s phenomenal to see the passion and dedication put into the game over the past two years. Finally, 1.0 is here and we can’t wait for players to get stuck in.”

Monster Hunter Wilds Showcase Unearths a New Ecosystem, New Monsters, and an Open Beta Test Across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam

London (October 23, 2024) Today, Monster Hunter Wilds™ producer Ryozo Tsujimoto unveiled the latest trailer for the highly anticipated action RPG as well as details on an upcoming Open Beta Test during Capcom’s October Monster Hunter Wilds Showcase. The fiery new footage revealed the captivating surroundings and inhabitants of the new Oilwell Basin ecosystem, including the  mysterious monster known as the “Black Flame,” even more new monsters living within the region, and the local craftsman village Azuz. Tsujimoto followed these new game details with the announcement of an Open Beta Test taking place next week across PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. The Open Beta Test will run November 1 – November 4 (GMT), and PlayStation®Plus subscribers can get a head start on PlayStation 5 with an exclusive early access period starting on October 29 (GMT).

Ready to Combust

The Oilwell Basin is a dangerous territory defined by the bubbling oil wells for which it is named. This terrain is known to erupt into raging flames during a period of Inclemency known as the Firespring. The newly revealed Brute Wyvern Rompopolo prowls within areas blanketed in a deep oil silt. This fearsome predator expels a toxic gas from its tongue to weaken its prey before using its tail to inject gas into the tar blanketing the ground causing bubbling eruptions. Rompopolo often finds itself battling for territory against roaming Ajarakan, another previously unseen monster that calls this region home. This red-hot Fanged Beast rubs its thick shell to cover itself in a sweltering armor. Amidst this incredibly harsh, ever-changing environment, the skilled craftsman village of Azuz grew around a massive central forge. While the local artisans and fearsome wildlife struggle to survive, a mysterious monster known to locals as the “Black Flame” lurks deep beneath the basin.

Play the Open Beta

Following the exciting new trailer, Tsujimoto revealed that eager hunters can soon experience Monster Hunter Wilds at home for the first time by participating in an Open Beta Test across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam with cross-play supported between all platforms.

The Open Beta Test will include three separate experiences: the complete character creation tool with character creation data that will be transferable to the full game upon release, a Story Trial, and the free-roaming Doshaguma Hunt. In the Story Trial, players can experience the opening cutscene of the game along with basic tutorials while hunting a Chatacabra, while in the Doshaguma Hunt, players can pursue the Alpha of a Doshaguma pack or explore the Windward Plains. Both the Story Trial and Doshaguma Hunt can be experienced solo, or players can use an SOS flare to create  a party of up to four players online, or call in assistance from NPC Support Hunters.

SlavicPunk: Oldtimer takes cyberpunk to an Eastern-European setting

Scheduled to release on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S/X on November 6th, SlavicPunk: Oldtimer is a fast paced, isometric, twin-stick shooter set in a gritty world of SibirPunk – a darker and grimmer look at a cyberpunk world, as imagined from a Slavic perspective.

Cyberpunk as a literary genre has always been about the struggle of ordinary people versus the all-powerful corporations, gripping whole societies by their throats. But it was also about style, colorful neons and chrome. What if we would take that flashiness away, what would be left?

This city is your home, your shelter, your prison. Some whisper it even had a name once… though now it hardly matters. Witness the harsh reality of filthy streets, where blood, booze, and cash hold more value than a human life. Embrace the contrast of cutting-edge technology and widespread poverty, where those in power thrive on opportunities while despair grips those beneath them. This is SlavicPunk – a world where everyone lives and dies by a gun… and you are no exception.

Game features:

  • Action-packed combat, where having an itchy trigger finger and fast feet is the key to survival
  • Transparent isometric view and intuitive twin-stick controls
  • Harsh yet absolutely addictive Eastern-European cyberpunk setting based on Michał Gołkowski books series
  • Fight your foes in melee, upgrade your guns, hack your enemies and unravel the compelling story of Yanus, a private investigator with a troubled past

SlavicPunk: Oldtimer invites players to step into the shoes of Yanus, a private investigator with a troubled past, whose task is to uncover the truth behind a stolen data carrier while facing urban gangs, corrupt corporations, and his inner demons. 

Known for its unique mix of fast-paced combat, modular weapon customization, and immersive storytelling, the game blends elements of a good old shoot-’em-up with battle-hacking and puzzle-solving, into a gritty, dark future with a distinctly Slavic twist. With its console debut, Xbox and PlayStation players will experience the game’s deep narrative, post-soviet architecture, and biting humor, offering a fresh perspective on the cyberpunk genre.

SlavicPunk: Oldtimer is scheduled to launch on the Xbox Store and PlayStation Store on November 6th, 2024. Don’t miss out on your chance to uncover the dark secrets hidden beneath the neon glow and concrete streets of this one-of-a-kind cyberpunk adventure.

Red Square Games is responsible for developing SlavicPunk: Oldtimer. Gaming Factory S.A. and Red Square Games are responsible for the release of the game on consoles. More information about the game can be found on the Xbox Store and PlayStation Store.
