The Berlin Apartment Unveiled With New Trailer Teasing A Century Of Stories

First-person character-driven adventure tells the moving stories of the inhabitants of an apartment over Berlin’s rich history 

Cologne/Berlin, Germany – June 20th 2024btf are pleased to unveil their new first-person character-driven adventure in development for PC, PlayStation and Xbox, The Berlin Apartment. The game’s story is told in a series of episodes over the course of the last century. Each episode tells its own story – with its own protagonists, in its own genre, with a very different atmosphere. What connects these tales is a historic apartment in Berlin that serves as the scene of the action.

The Berlin Apartment begins when a handyman is tasked with refurbishing an old apartment. Thanks to the COVID situation, he has a daughter to watch over and homeschool during the extensive renovation work. As he digs deeper and deeper into the history of the apartment, he brings it to life by telling its stories to his daughter. Relics from past times turn out to be silent witnesses – and former companions – of the apartment’s former inhabitants.

Dive into the lives of those that lived within the apartment’s four walls. Experience their dreams and the dangers that haunt them, live the hellos and goodbyes that defined their lives, witness their adventures, uncover memories and mysteries. 

“We’re really excited to unveil The Berlin Apartment to the world with our debut trailer,” said Game Director Hans Böhme. “We’ve got lots more to share in the future when it comes to the variety of genres and stories you’ll be diving into and how that impacts on what you are doing with the game.

PAYDAY 3 RELEASES THE BOYS IN BLUE UPDATE ON JUNE 27th

The second DLC Expansion takes the heist to the cops and introduces new free content, featuring a beta for the brand-new Solo Mode.

Sydney, Australia – 21st June, 2024 – Deep Silver and Starbreeze confirm that PAYDAY 3: Chapter 2 – Boys in Blue, the second DLC Expansion for the ultimate heist shooter fantasy, releases on June 27th on all platforms.

Following the events in Chapter 1: Syntax Error, the gang will take the heist to a police station, capturing the essence of PAYDAY, where every stolen gold bar is a statement against authority.

DLC overview

Boys in Blue is accessible to Silver Edition, Gold Edition, and Gold Pass owners of PAYDAY 3 and is available to buy separately on PC, Xbox Series S|X, and PlayStation 5. The DLC consists of:

  • The Heist Pack: with PAYDAY 3: Chapter 2 – Boys in Blue
  • The Weapon Pack with 3 new weapons, 26 mods and 2 cosmetics
  • The Tailor Pack with 4 new masks, 4 new suits, and 4 new gloves.

PAYDAY 3 second DLC Expansion comes also with a major free update. The Boys in Blue free update will be available for all players including:

  • Solo Mode Beta (on all platforms)
  • New heister Clover, originally introduced to the PAYDAY series in 2014, including a gun and weapon charm  
  • New Primary weapon – LMG

  • Nvidia DLSS 3.0 Ready, offering a great boost to performance for anyone with a recent Nvidia graphics card
  • Twitch drops

Solo Mode Beta

The Boys in Blue Update introduces a Solo Mode Beta, addressing community feedback received since the game’s release.  

In this beta, the sections of the game previously hosted on PAYDAY servers are now hosted on players’ devices. What it does is skip the matchmaking step, meaning players still must log in and have access to the internet, but only for the initial identification and start up. This is the first step to support a full offline option in the future.  

The four most well-known clown-masked criminals in recent video game history returned from retirement last year in PAYDAY 3 on PC via PC Game Pass, on Steam and Epic Games Store, as well as Xbox Series S|X, on Console Game Pass, PlayStation 5 and GeForce Now.

3on3 FreeStyle: Rebound’s Blair Breaks the Board (and Hearts) Today

An elegant beauty and innocence matched only by her unassuming speed and technique

IRVINE, CALIFORNIA – June 20, 2024 – 3on3 FreeStyle: Rebound, the online multiplayer street basketball game developed by JOYCITY with more than 18 million players, today launches its newest character, the agile K-pop queen of the paint, Blair, available today on PC via Steam, PlayStation 4 & 5, and Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One!

Inspired by agile centers of the past like Hakeem Olajuwon, Blair takes the position to a whole new level. Don’t let her cute softness fool you: Blair steals your heart — and the ball. Having grown up isolated from the world as an heir to a giant conglomerate, Blair is eager to prove herself on the court. Her innocent naivete informs her gameplay style, leading to unpredictable tactics that throw off opponents with her unorthodox style. 

Utilize her keen instincts and background as a French college student to swap between a dubious offense and tricky defense. Adapt to each game with self-buffs that demand the opponent’s attention, and steal the game out from under their noses. She might be small, but her odd personality is mighty on any team. Don’t be surprised when she lords over the court.

Blair joins an ever-expanding roster of hoopers in 3on3 FreeStyle, with more characters planned this year for the more than 500,000 monthly active users to ball with. Newcomers can compete in the Rookie League, open only for upstart players to feel the competitive fire and earn rewards while learning the ropes. 

“Blair’s unlike any other character we’ve brought into 3on3 FreeStyle,” said Danny Noss, Senior Director of JOYCITY Annex. “Our past additions to the roster expanded gameplay and team compositions, but Blair shares so little in common with any of them. Making her feel like a natural fit was a new challenge for us, and we’re so excited to show you all what we came up with and how she changes the game for everyone.”

3on3 FreeStyle: Rebound is currently available on PC via Steam, PlayStation 4 & 5, and Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One. For more information on 3on3 FreeStyle, check out the game’s official website, subscribe to 3on3 FreeStyle on YouTube, follow the game on Twitter and Facebook, and join the Discord.

About JOYCITY Annex

The new update also features the Workshop of Brilliant Light, a challenge-type raid where various strategies are required to overcome powerful bosses and monsters to clear the dungeon. Players will encounter Avaricious Vulcan and the Gatekeeper of Hell Cerberus at the Lower Floors of the Demons’ Castle as part of this update. 

The Workshop of Brilliant Light consists of main and side stages, with options to choose either Player or Hunter modes. While side stages are optional, players are recommended to complete the side stages to receive ‘Blessing of Brilliant Light,’ a buff that aids players to conquer the main stage. Clear the main stage at Workshop of Brilliant Light and earn higher-level Artifacts, including Burning Curse, Burning Greed and Burning Blessing. 

In addition, players can experience original stories of Meilin Fisher and Seo Jiwoo at the Hunter Archive. The update also brings news skins for Meilin Fisher (Lovely Magician) and Lee Joohee (Sweet as Honey), and introduces the new Shadow ‘Tusk’. Players can now receive rewards according to Sung Jinwoo’s achievement level

Solo Leveling: ARISE is an action game adaptation of Solo Leveling, based on the hit Webtoon. Taking on the role of Jinwoo, players can experience his level-ups and progress through the beloved webtoon tale firsthand, taking on dynamic battles and creating their own combat styles, relying on various combinations of skills and weapons. Not only can players team up with hunters from the Webtoon, they can summon their own “Army of Shadows” just like Jinwoo did when he first uttered the famous line “Arise!” in the Webtoon.
