Face a mysterious, rising evil, journey across vast lands and create your own stories and dungeons in this Epic RPG Adventure

Bologna, Italy, August 9th, 2024 – Independent developer Operaludica announced today that their turn-based mystery dungeon fantasy RPG Dragonero: The Rise of Draquir, will be released on PC via Steam on September 26th, for £17.99 / $19.99 / €19.99. Coinciding with the release date, Operaludica will be also exhibiting at the Makuhari Messe from September 26-29 for Tokyo Game Show 2024.

Based on Sergio Bonelli Editore’s monumental ‘Dragonero’ comic series, Operaludica has further announced the release of the distinctive ‘Master Mode’ DLC later this year in Q4. This DLC will allow players to create and share their own dungeons and campaigns with the community through the Steam Workshop.

“We are very lucky to be able to bring life to the world of Erondàr through Dragonero: The Rise of Draquir” said Marco Pirruccio, head of Operaludica “Comics are all about imagining yourself in that world, and we are so excited to be able to share the world of Dragonero with a new audience. In our game, you can even create your own stories using the ‘Master Mode’, and can share your own adventures across the globe!”

Set after the comic story ‘Dragonero: The Origin’, journey on an epic quest of five legends in their attempt to save the lands of Erondàr. First, play individually as Ian Aranill, the Scout, Gmor Burpen, the Orc, Myrva Aranille, the Technocrat, Alben, the Luresindo and Sera of Rômelinwe, each with their own tale to explore. In their own quests, level up their skills, enhance their equipment and max their stats before forming the party and bringing each character together for the main adventure.

Immerse yourself in Erondàr, a vast and mysterious open world with procedurally generated and hand-created dungeons, breathtaking trails and intense encounters. Outside of the main quest, create your own adventure using the ‘Master Mode’, where you can create your own stories and tales to share with others. Use the ‘Creature Wizard’ to bring life into special monsters and foes, and craft the perfect lair with the ‘Dungeon Wizard’ tool. Design the ultimate fantasy RPG narrative with the ‘Quest Wizard’, then share your adventures and play the campaigns of others through the Steam Workshop. Where else can you make your own playable Dragonero adventure?!

Battle in turn-based RPG combat, using tactical skill usage, unique items and coordinated attacks to defeat fearsome opponents. Be aware – the more time the party spends in a dungeon, the more dangerous, and more rewarding, it becomes. Journey day and night across an array of biomes, dungeons and expansive cities, where you can meet the inhabitants of Erondàr, learn about the world and new quests, and trade goods to improve weapons and armor. At the end of each day, camp in the world to craft recipes, go hunting and restore health to prepare for the next encounter.

Dragonero: The Rise of Draquir will debut on Steam on September 26th. Curious fans who would like to experience the epic turn-based open world, linear party RPG can catch the game as part of the Steam Turn-Based RPG Fest from September 30th – October 7th, and can also try out the demo available on the Steam store page now.

SYDNEY, Australia (August 9, 2024) – A new trailer released today by Milestone and Feld Motor Sports, Inc.™ unveils the secrets of the Monster Jam™ Showdown Tour, the single-player campaign.

Featuring over 130 events grouped into three categories, the Showdown Tour will allow a non-linear progression where fans will get to enjoy a variety of competitions, combining speed and skills without a given order. Designed to welcome different playstyles and exalt the strength of each player, every victory will unlock new events in the same category as the one just played. This way, players will constantly find new challenges akin to their preferences; nonetheless, they’ll get plenty of variety as the same category will include several game modes and allow them to explore all three original environments of the game. 

Watch the Showdown Tour trailer below:

The locations of the Showdown Tour are wild and out of the ordinary, the perfect place to push Monster Jam™ trucks to the limit and unleash their full power even beyond what happens during live events. Following a free-progression approach, it will be possible to race the untamed landscapes of Alaska, Colorado, and Death Valley from the very first minutes of play by navigating a map where all the events will gradually appear as players progress. For instance, after completing a Freestyle competition in Colorado, a new Freestyle contest in another region of the map might become available, as well as a different game mode such as a Best Trick match.

By achieving victories within the same event category, players will collect the tokens they need to access the Showdown Events, which are special boss battles that seal career advancements. Here, they will have to prove to be the worthy owners of some of the most iconic Monster Jam trucks by competing against their previous drivers. In case of success, the rival truck will be added to the player’s private collection and higher-difficulty events within the same category will also be unlocked.  

Importantly, Showdown Events are more than 1v1 races; being fast will not be enough to triumph, as players will also have to please the crowd by performing crazy jumps and destroying as many objects as possible to make the most spectacular run.

This design will leave fans completely free to decide at any time whether to progress within the same category by completing the most difficult events or to test themselves in something different. In one case, they’ll maximise their skills in the game modes they prefer and unlock the associated trucks. However, mastering all categories will be required to fully complete their career and collect all 66 vehicles* and over 140 paint outs available in the game.

Monster Jam™ Showdown will be available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch™, and PC as of August 29, 2024,with Early Access** available from August 26, 2024.

**40 trucks will be included in the base game and 26 will be available through free or premium DLCs         
**Early Access not available for Switch Asia and PC Steam

All-new Takeover System and improved Badge Progression allow players to tailor enhancements to their own playstyles

2K today unveiled new upgrades coming to MyPLAYER Builder and MyCAREER in NBA 2K25 on PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. With more ways to craft in MyPLAYER Builder, an all-new Takeover system and improved Badge progression, players can create their ideal MyPLAYER and stamp their name in the history books in a brand new MyCAREER. These new updates and features ensure that whether a user is new to NBA 2K, a returning player, or a savvy veteran, there’s more than one way to play. 

“MyPLAYER is the start of every journey and in NBA 2K25 we’ve added more ways for players to craft their legacy in a tailored and authentic way as they chase the win,” said Erick Boenisch, VP of NBA Development at Visual Concepts. “We designed MyPLAYER Builder to cater to different playstyles and strategic preferences for players of all levels. MyPLAYER is the start of the journey, and we want players to craft their legacy in a tailored and authentic way as they chase greatness.”

MyPLAYER and MyCAREER have a variety of new features and improvements this year, including:

• MyPLAYER Builder: The NBA 2K25 MyPLAYER Builder caters to all different playstyles and strategic preferences with a myriad of new possible archetypes to create. NBA 2K25 offers access to more information on a player’s Build than ever before. Dig deeper with the opportunity to preview all assets a Build now qualifies for, including Badges, Takeovers, and Signature Animations as well as customisation options like jump shot and dunk packages. Players can leverage the Build Tester and participate in 3v3, 5v5 or the new Freestyle practice option to preview and tinker with their new Build.
• A Brand-New Takeover System: NBA 2K25 introduces a brand new Takeover system, with 72 Takeovers and 14 Takeover Abilities. Each Takeover targets different attributes and has five levels, ranging from Level 1 when a player is heating up to Level 5 when they’re red hot. As players excel on the court, the Takeover Meter fills up, gradually boosting the targeted attributes as players rise up the five levels. Once a player reaches Level 5, their Takeover Abilities will turn on automatically and if used effectively, it can make them the most dominant player on the court for a short period of time.
• Improved Badges: Badges in NBA 2K25 are more impactful and all-encompassing than ever before. With the list refined to 40 Badges, each one now feels equally valuable and desirable. Badge progression is designed to match a player’s on-court actions – the more a player uses a Badge the faster it will progress. NBA 2K25 will introduce a new level of Badges higher than Hall of Fame called Legend. Also new this year are Badge Elevators that can boost individual badges to higher levels and Cap Breakers to increase attribute ratings above max potential “caps” set at build creation. Badge Perks and Performance Multipliers will also receive updated perks. 
• Heart of a Dynasty. MyCAREER in NBA 2K25 is all about building the next great dynasty. Ranked against the best dynasties in NBA history, players will vie to make deep playoff runs and win championships in order to climb the Dynasty Rankings and etch their legacy above the best. Before winning it all, players can lay the foundation of their career and relive their MyPLAYER’s journey to the NBA from high school to FIBA games in a new flashback story called Heart of a Dynasty. Finally, Key Games are back and upgraded to give players more choice and control over how they progress through their MyPLAYER’s career.
