The Future of Strategy Draws Near! Battle Aces Enters Next Beta Phase on November 7

New Features Include 2 Player vs AI, New Units, and Player Personalization System

Los Angeles, CA – October 7, 2024 – Uncapped Games, a new studio comprised of passionate RTS developers who’ve shipped games from award-winning franchises such as StarCraft, Warcraft, Dawn of War, and Company of Heroes, announced today that it will begin accepting new players to beta test its upcoming action real-time strategy game, Battle Aces, on November 7, 2024. Participants in the previous phase of beta testing will be able to get in a day earlier on November 6. New players can sign up for the beta at www.playbattleaces.com

Previously announced in June 2024 at Summer Game Fest, Battle Aces was immediately received with high praise from gaming press and influencers alike. The game endeavors to begin a new era of strategy gaming, combining the natural interface of MOBA games, the meta strategic elements of deck building games, and the fast-paced intensity of real-time strategy (RTS) games. This combination of strategic influences, melded with design innovations like instant unit spawning, automated resource gathering, and streamlined base building, keeps players focused on the fun of controlling massive armies in battle while making key strategic decisions to attack, expand, or tech.

New features introduced to Battle Aces in this phase of beta testing will include:

  • New exciting units fleshing out additional ways to strategize and dominate the battlefield
  • A robust 2 vs AI cooperative mode, allowing friends to team up against computer opponents that are tuned automatically to the players’ skill level
  • Dynamic contract system (daily & seasonal) with additional ways to earn in-game War Credits and initial WarPath reward track system
  • Improved quality-of-life features including the ability to try a new unit deck vs AI, enhancements to UI highlighting strategic counters for units and more will also be unveiled in this phase of testing
  • Introduction of the Ace personalization system, including:
    • Custom skins for core bases
    • Army paints allow players choices in color for their units
    • Custom fatality animations will vary how core base buildings explode in victory and defeat
    • Unique avatars, banners, in-match sprays, and emotes round out the ways in which players can adjust how they appear in Battle Aces, as well as express themselves in battle
    • Further customization options will be introduced later on
  • Further tuning and gameplay balance adjustments to the existing 1v1, 2v2 and Custom Game modes

With matches limited to 10 minutes, players can easily complete a series of satisfying battles even over a short amount of time. Players have the flexibility to choose their style of play, building out their unit decks from nearly 50 unique units, each with different strengths, weaknesses, and special abilities. Adjusting strategy and play style is just a matter of swapping unit decks in between games.

“All of us at Uncapped Games are passionate fans of the strategy genre,” said David Kim, senior game director of Uncapped Games. “Our vision was always to build a game with the depth to satisfy the most hardcore fans while also being fun and easy enough to learn to attract new players to the genre we love the most. From the feedback we’ve gotten out of our announcement and first beta test, we feel like Battle Aces is well on its way to reaching those goals. We invite everyone to come test our game and give us feedback to help build the future of strategy games.”

Utilize research and new systems to enrich yourself more quickly! Analyze your indicators to become the best vampire bar manager in the city.
  • Your Ultimate Goal: Becoming an Elder! Try to please the Elders to gain their favor, or suffer their wrath! Understand their personalities and learn how to flatter them. Will you ally with the crazy Yumeko, the voluptuous Sophie, the megalomaniac Vladimir, or someone else? Take control of every district of Crimson City with their help to become one of them and rule for eternity! Will you achieve your vampiric goals or fail miserably?

TopSpin 2K25 Season 4 Heads to the Rolex Paris Masters and Nitto ATP Finals with New Playable Pro Alexander Zverev

All-new World Tour League, basketball-themed court, and Centre Court Pass Season 4 serve up competition this fall

Following the real-life tennis calendar, TopSpin 2K25 Season 4, available this week, will immerse players in two of the ultimate tournaments in the sport: the Rolex Paris Masters and the Nitto ATP Finals. Featuring new, free, playable pro Alexander Zverev, Season 4 will debut lots of new, exciting content, including the World Tour League, a free, basketball-themed venue, and a brand-new Centre Court Pass, which features pro outfits, cosmetics from top brands, animations, and more. For the next eight weeks, players can soak in all that Season 4 has to offer as they work their way through the reward tiers.

The Rolex Paris Masters is the ninth and final ATP Masters 1000 event of the season, known for its high level of competition. TopSpin 2K25 sets the stage for the world’s best players to battle it out on its indoor hard courts. At the end of the year, the Nitto ATP Finals in Turin, Italy, is the season-ending championship, and showcases the best of tennis through high-stakes matches to determine the year-end champions. Players can take their male MyPLAYER through these exhilarating experiences to show the competition who the real king of the court is!

Joining the TopSpin 2K25 roster as a free, playable pro, the current World Number 3, Alexander Zverev, is a prominent German tennis star, and has quickly risen through the ranks with his powerful game. Zverev has claimed multiple ATP Masters 1000 titles and a strong presence in Grand Slam® tournaments. With the launch of Season 4, Zverev will be joining the list of renowned players available for anyone to play within 2K Tour and Exhibition modes.

A total of eight distinct Ranks is available: Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Sapphire, Obsidian, and Diamond. League Points are earned by playing and winning matches in World Tour, leading to higher rankings, but can also be lost, resulting in relegation to a lower Rank. League Points and Rankings reset at the beginning of each Season so players will have to work quickly to earn the coveted Diamond Ranking before the Season ends.

Timed to the real life NCAA college basketball tip-off, TopSpin 2K25 introduces the 2K Sports Center—the ultimate basketball and tennis crossover.

LOS ANGELES OCTOBER 8, 2024 – Netmarble, a leading developer and publisher of high-quality mobile games, has launched a new update for its idle RPG The Seven Deadly Sins: IDLE Adventure. A new hero, limited-time events and additional content updates are now available for players to experience. 

As part of the latest update, The Seven Deadly Sins: IDLE Adventure unveiled The Boar Sin of Gluttony Merlin, an STR-attribute support hero and a Great Mage with hunger for more knowledge. Her powerful skill “Reflect Curtain” grants a Lv.5 Sever buff that increases Crit Chance, as well as a DoT Immunity buff, for her allies. Merlin’s ultimate skill “Exterminate Ray” removes all buffs on the target and knocks them back upon successful attack. 

Players can obtain The Boar Sin of Gluttony Merlin by using the Rate Up Summon Tickets or Diamonds. Gloxinia of Repose is also available for players to summon. She is a VIT-attribute support hero who inflicts Bind to the target and removes all debuffs from allies. 

In addition, the maximum difficulty for Gold & Hero EXP Dungeon, as well as for Lab Sample Dungeon, has been expanded to 400. Players can also now enter Advent Battle to challenge Monspeet of Reticence.

A brand-new minigame ‘Sir Hawk’s Relentless Charge’ is accessible in the game through October 15. Players will create and connect bridges for Hawk and receive Event Coins based on the scores and stages they have reached. The Event Coins can be exchanged for valuable items at the Event Exchange Shop. 

Based on the global hit manga and anime ‘The Seven Deadly Sins’, the game welcomes players to an idle RPG world overflowing with epic adventures and fan-favorite characters from the franchise. Inspired by The Seven Deadly Sins: Grand Cross, the mobile RPG enjoyed by 60 million players around the globe, The Seven Deadly Sins: IDLE Adventure offers an enjoyable gameplay experience featuring a variety of content, an easy-to-play One-Tap Draw system, as well the opportunity to collect and nurture beloved characters.
