In the Shrek Special Pack, players will clean up five fairy tale maps inspired by DreamWorks Animation’s Shrek.

• Duloc
• Hansel’s Honeymoon Hideaway
• Shrek’s Swamp
• Fairy Godmother’s Potion Factory

A sprinkle of soap, a touch of elbow grease, and a large dose of ‘DING’s make for the perfect antidote potion. Players will wash it all down with a swish of high-pressure water and have these enchanting locations look as spotless as the Magic Mirror. 

An all-star cast of beloved characters invites players to reinstate Duloc back to its pristine glory, breathe life into Dragon’s Lair, and restore Shrek’s Swamp to, well, just the right amount of muck!

Become a knight in shining armour and defeat dubious debris in this Special Pack – a task befitting a true hero. The Shrek Special Pack features a custom knight character model armed with a sword-themed power washer that lets players go forth and conquer grime!

The Shrek Special Pack is out now on PC (via Steam and Windows), Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch™, PlayStation®4 (PS4®), PlayStation®5 (PS5®). PowerWash Simulator (base game) is also currently included in the Steam Free weekend, running until the 13^th October.

“Bounty Clash” game mode and “Harvest of Ghosts” in-game event will be part of Hunt’s Halloween festivities this spooky season!

FRANKFURT, Germany – Oct. 10, 2024 – Crytek is pleased to announce that a new game mode called “Bounty Clash” and new in-game event titled “Harvest of Ghosts” are coming to Hunt: Showdown 1896 for all players this Halloween. Bounty Clash will be available from Wednesday, October 16, to Sunday, October 20, and then appear every weekend during the Harvest of Ghosts event. The Harvest of Ghosts in-game event will run between October 16 to November 25 and is bustling with new treats for players to get their hands on.

New Game Mode: Bounty Clash

Introducing Bounty Clash, a new experimental game mode where fast-paced action is key. Players will spawn in a random compound with a dead boss target awaiting banishment with a token available to pick up, and players will have to defeat other teams to get to it. Games are quick and ruthless, as you’ll need to fight off enemies, rush to the token and extract all within 15 minutes of game time!

Hunters will be taken into the game mode from their roster, so the stakes are even higher than ever before. You’ll be fighting across one of the stunning compounds from either Mammon’s Gulch or Stillwater Bayou, which have been uniquely adapted for the mode. Players will be matchmaked according to their MMR, but this won’t be affected by the Bounty Clash match outcomes.

Rush – fight – extract – repeat! Enjoy the thrill of this brand-new, limited-time game mode!

Harvest of Ghosts Event

Corruption has entered a new phase, with two Incursions active for the first time in memory. This unprecedented circumstance has birthed a new and wicked season called Harvest of Ghosts.

A new Hunter called “Harvest” has tampered with the forces behind Dark Sight, becoming something of its “avatar,” and as the destruction of the Harvest of Ghosts grows, so does he. Rare tools are his creation (Dark Dynamite, Satchel) and are available to Hunters for a high price. He’s drawn all manner of Hunters who would weaponize the Corruption, and they take dark powers under the Pact of Omens.

The trio of Pacts clash and fight for survival in the Harvest of Ghosts haunted autumn, where any Hunter can be sent to their grave, or rise from it once again.

Key Features

Harvest of Ghosts introduces exciting new mechanics and pacts to Hunt: Showdown 1896 as players hunt for Event Points for progress and Pledge Marks used to unlock new powers. Progressing through the event, players will unlock access to new weapons and equipment and plenty of additional rewards.

Hunters will find Sealed Rewards at multiple locations and earn Pledge Marks, with a maximum of four per one mission. Players can pledge to one of the three Pacts and gain Pact Traits, changing up the gameplay and providing new tactics during the Harvest of Ghosts event.

Wilderness Pact

The Wilderness Pact carries on their fight to protect the land against those tampering with Dark Sight so that their meddling doesn’t spread Corruption further.

Wilderness Traits such as Surefoot and Beastface make your Hunter more mobile and equipped for exploration.

The Pact of Omens

The Pact of Omens harnesses powers within Dark Sight to inflict harm and horror upon their enemies, wreaking havoc upon all.

The Pact of Omens’ Traits like Blast Sense and Pain Sense gift your Hunter with sharpened senses that allow tactical advantages in both sound and sight.

Smugglers Pact

The Smugglers Pact try to take the Dark Sight objects for themselves and unleash the firepower of new contraband from around the world. The Smuggler Pact Traits, including Gunrunner and Greyhound, heavily arm your Hunter and allow for fast map traversal. Harvest of Ghosts also brings along new weapons, variants and equipment, further altering how players approach their hunt:

• Bomb Launcher – a compact weapon which fires an explosive harpoon and can switch between two ammo types
• Maynard Sniper – a high-damage scoped rifle with a two-staged reload
• Auto-4 Short – a shortened variant of a semi-automatic shotgun
• Centennial Pointman – a lever-action repeating rifle with high muzzle velocity with a shortened stock and mid-to-long-range scope
• Rival 78 Mace – a shortened variant of double-barrel high-damage shotgun with a read bludgeon attached
• Dark Dynamite Satchel – a bundle of dynamite sticks with remote detonation through Dark Sight, attachable to walls and floors

More exciting changes and rewards will be introduced, along with a Hand Crossbow Revive Bolt, and will be further highlighted upon the release of Harvest of Ghosts on Oct. 16, 2024, on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.

About Hunt: Showdown 1896

Hunt: Showdown 1896 is the new era of the competitive first-person bounty hunting game, packing the thrill of survival and the reward of profit into a horror match-based format. Set in Colorado in 1896, the game boasts a mixture of PvP and PvE elements that create a uniquely tense experience. It’s not just the monsters who are a threat—it’s every Hunter on the map. In the classic Bounty Hunt game mode, a match pits 12 players—playing solo or in teams of two or three—against each other as they race to take out gruesome creatures for a Bounty they must collect and extract from the map. Hunt‘s Soul Survivor mode offers a shorter match for solo players to scavenge for weapons as they compete for a diminishing pool of Bounty. The higher the risk, the higher the reward–but a single mistake could cost you everything. Hunt: Showdown 1896 is out now on PC, PlayStation 5 and Series X|S.

Experience diesel-punk action with your friends in the first public demo for the upcoming open-world FPS, kicking off October 11!

SEATTLE – Oct. 10, 2024 – Publisher tinyBuild and indie developers Hologryph and TowerHaus are excited to share that the first demo for the open-world extraction shooter SAND will be released on Friday, October 11, ahead of Steam Next Fest! Teams of up to six players can customize their moving fortresses and go head to head against each other in the demo. Check out today’s new gameplay video highlighting the Tramplers, giant warring mechs you can build, customize and ride into battle!

SAND is set in an alternate-history, diesel-punk universe where the Austro-Hungarian Empire leads space colonization, humanity travels the stars, and the fallen planet of Sophie lays in ruins after an ecological disaster evaporated the world’s oceans. Now only the bravest and most reckless treasure hunters, working alone or in teams, scavenge and battle across Sophie’s deadly deserts for their fortune.

In SAND’s new demo, you’ll operate your own massive walking Trampler mech to explore the open world and take down hostile enemies on your own or with friends. SAND’s emergent combat and gameplay will keep you on your toes, delivering a thrilling experience that’s accessible but challenging and rewarding as you play.

Demo Features:

• Master the Tramplers: Traverse and fight across a hostile world with Tramplers, gigantic walking mechs that act as your main base for exploration, assaulting enemies and guarding loot.
• Customize Your Mech: Upgrade the Trampler’s power, armor, weapons and more. Team up with other players to create and command the ultimate moving fortress!
• Hit the Dunes On Foot: Disembark from your mobile base for close-quarters battles during city raids, resource fights, or just to steal another team’s Trampler.
• Battle for Glory: Engage in action-packed firefights with a range of powerful weaponry. SAND’s thrilling gunplay and combat mechanics are easy to pick up but challenging and rewarding to master.

Proudly made by a team of Ukrainian developers as a celebration of Ukraine’s rich cultural heritage and people, SAND will ultimately feature an intense combination of open-world exploration, explosive PvPvE combat, emergent extraction gameplay, and plenty of loot with which to make your fortune – if you can get offworld with it in one piece.

Major update brings a new soldier class, new squads, weapons and gear

Darkflow Software and Gaijin Entertainment announce the release of the “Guerrilla Warfare” major content update for the military online shooter Enlisted. It brings the new Guerrilla soldier class, the new “Mountain Pass” map, as well as new weapons and vehicles such as sawed-off PPSh and self-propelled gun Marder III. In addition, tanks and other armored vehicles now look better in motion thanks to the new physical model of tracks.

Soviet partisans, German militias and irregular fighters from other nations can move around the enemy combat zone, that is usually closed to soldiers of other classes, and arrange treacherous ambushes. Only the respawn zones are off-limits to them. The guerrilla fighters have spare ammo for any weapon they might capture and carry extra charges of TNT for sabotage

The new Mountain pass map in Ardennes is inspired by the bloody battles between the US and Germany in the winter of 1944. Here players fight for control of a small town with an important transport junction in the middle, maneuvering through snowy mountain forests, deserted streets and hastily constructed Allied fortified areas. The complex terrain provides many reliable shelters and no less ways to bypass them.

Finally, many wheeled and tracked vehicles in Enlisted have been visually updated. The suspension physics have become even more detailed, so tracks realistically stretch when driving over various obstacles, and the antennas sway when moving.

You can learn more about the changes in the Guerrilla Warfare update on the official website of the game.

About Gaijin Entertainment
Gaijin Entertainment is the developer and publisher of the online games War Thunder, Crossout, Enlisted, CRSED: F.O.A.D. and Star Conflict as well as other PC, Mac, Linux, PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, iOS and Android titles across several genres.
