Pre-orders are Live Now and Demo Available for PC at Steam Next Fest Tomorrow

LONDON (June 9, 2024) – At this year’s Xbox Games Showcase A44 Games and publisher Kepler Interactive announced their exciting new souls-lite Action-RPG, Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn, will launch globally on July 18 for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5 and PC (via Steam and Epic Games Store). Pre-orders are available now for all platforms and Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn will also be available on Game Pass at launch.

Watch the explosive trailer now:

If five weeks is too long to wait, A44 Games announced a demo for PC via Steam from June 10. The demo* starts players at the beginning of Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn, giving them a glimpse into the world of Kian, which has been under siege for 10 years, and a chance to hone their combat skills. Now the Gods are loose, set free inadvertently by Nor, who must make amends aided by her mysterious companion, Enki, by defeating them to save humanity before they take over the world.

Players start their journey in Three Peaks where they learn to use steel weapons and guns, master parrying, powder jumps and powder dodges as they embark on a quest to kill the Gods. Battles are rhythmic and combat is fast and fluid with the best attacks coming from chaining combos together. Working with Enki adds another dimension where using his magic unlocks the ability to ‘prime’ enemies. With each hit the magical gauge fills and when fully primed, players can land critical attacks to remove armor from tougher enemies or kill them with one devastating hit. Each encounter earns ‘reputation’ which can be used to upgrade weapons and armor and unlock new skills belonging to one of three paths – Powder, Magic or Steel. In addition, the demo enables players to challenge themselves on the demanding Possessed difficulty mode, ideal for those who desire a greater test of skill after mastering the combat.

A physical Deluxe Edition for Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 will be available from select retailers via Maximum Entertainment and comes complete with the full game, digital soundtrack, digital artbook and additional DLC cosmetic content for Nor – Champions Outfits, Noble Outfits and Vanguard Outfits – in addition to the Champions Pistol and Champions Axe as well as an exclusive reversible coversheet. The digital Deluxe Edition comes with the full game and additional DLC cosmetic content for Nor. Listen to the Rammuha composition from the OST here now.

Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn launches on July 18 on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5 and PC (via Steam and Epic Games Store) and will also be available day one with Xbox & PC Game Pass. For more information visit www.playflintlock.com.

Cinematic Storytelling and Thrilling Action Playable Solo or in 5-Player Co-op Combine in the Most Approachable MechWarrior Game to Date

THE INNER SPHERE (June 9, 2024) – Stewards to the MechWarrior franchise’s modern era Piranha Games have announced that MechWarrior 5: Clans‘ standalone, story driven campaign of tactical action will release Oct. 3 across PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. A completely new, standalone entry to the storied franchise designed as a linear campaign with pick-up-and-play combat, MechWarrior 5: Clans’ launch date has been revealed in a Story Trailer:

Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2000890/MechWarrior_5_Clans/

The footage sets the stage for a coming invasion while joining the five-person group (a “Star”) of mech pilots central to MechWarrior 5: Clans’ narrative, intended to deliver the most human storyline ever seen in a MechWarrior video game. Composed of recent graduates from the Smoke Jaguar cadet program, this Star faces incredible stakes in a pivotal moment within the MechWarrior universe as they mobilize to aid their clan through a full-scale invasion of a region of space known as the Inner Sphere.

Combat throughout MechWarrior 5: Clans’ campaign sees these pilots wield cutting-edge BattleMechs through the style of immersive, rewarding tactical combat the MechWarrior series is famous for. The action is all set within a tight campaign utilizing handcrafted combat scenarios and cinematic storytelling to realize MechWarrior’s first Clan Invasion story in decades.

MechWarrior 5: Clans’ captivating campaign takes place across a variety of planets through stunning, meticulously designed biomes where immersive realism is baked into every detail. Intricately designed maps and missions deliver engaging combat, both complex and chaotic, demanding thoughtful, strategic play. Tactical options abound with an all-new cast of customizable Clan Mechs boasting sleek and powerful Clan technologies. MechWarrior 5: Clans explores a time in the MechWarrior universe which realizes incredible technological advances in Mech warfare.

New progression and customization systems encourage pilots to alter Mech loadouts with expansive customization through an updated Mech lab, Hardpoint, and Omnipod system. MechWarrior 5: Clans also debuts ally directing tools, including a bird’s eye-style Battlegrid and a quick command radial menu, empowering players to intuitively lead their Star whether using a controller or keyboard & mouse setup. Adaptability to the scenario at hand is key to a strategic victory.

MechWarrior 5: Clans follows Piranha’s 2019 hit, MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries, which was an open ended, procedural experience, selling more than 2 million units while securing its current 84% Very Positive ranking on Steam from more than 8,900 user reviews.

MechWarrior 5: Clans sports a gripping set of gameplay features for new and veteran pilots:

• The Clan Invasion is Here: For the first time since MechWarrior 2 (released in 1995), pilots can immerse themselves in an action packed Clan Invasion story – one of the most epic time periods in the franchise that changed the course of the Inner Sphere’s factions and politics forever. MechWarrior 5: Clans is the absolute perfect entry point into the MechWarrior universe for newcomers, and the game which veteran pilots have been waiting more than 30 years to play.
• This Isn’t Run-and-Gun, This is MechWarrior: Celebrated core MechWarrior combat returns in MechWarrior 5: Clans. Pilots must strategically plan and execute Star-based team assaults, commanding their team while utilizing the new Battlegrid and radial menu, if they are going to bring honor to Clan Smoke Jaguar while advancing their position within the Inner Sphere.
• Customizable Mechs: Victory starts in your Mech Lab with an expanded collection of technologically advanced Clan weapon systems, equipment and Upgrades. Clan Mech’s superior technology grants you the ability to swap out larger parts for greater customization and functionality ahead of assaults. Plan accordingly based on terrain, structure, and biome specificity for the best chance at victory.
• All-Star Strategy: Your squadron (aka your Star) is depending on you. Protect the members of your Star in battle, deepening your bond as you engage the Inner Sphere’s determined defenders. Immerse yourself in the story as you lead your Star through narratively driven missions and thrilling combat.
• Stunning Visual Design: Harnessing the power of Unreal Engine 5, MechWarrior 5: Clans abounds in environmental detail and destruction – from precisely designed confined cityscapes to bogs spanning incredible distances, battles will take shape on breathtaking landscapes and the complex infrastructure of the Inner Sphere.

MechWarrior 5: Clans launches in 2024. Learn more about the game at www.mw5clans.com and wishlist at https://store.steampowered.com/app/2000890/MechWarrior_5_Clans/.

Try the new character in Diesel Legacy’s innovative three-lane match system starting this Monday

Walnut Creek, Calif. (June 8, 2024) – Today during the Latin American Games Showcase, publisher and developer Maximum Entertainment showcased a new character, Dieselmech, coming to the dynamic co-op fighter Diesel Legacy: The Brazen Age, releasing later this year. Players can get a feel for the gentle giant turned super soldier as part of Steam Next Fest starting June 10. Wishlist the game today: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1959140/Diesel_Legacy_The_Brazen_Age

Dieselmech, originally designed as a friendly automaton, was repurposed into a mass-produced super soldier after his creator was abducted. These soldiers, camouflaged as “peacekeepers,” were armed with destructive weapons like cannons, using innocent civilians in slums as target practice. However, one particular Dieselmech (DM-00337), retains traces of his creator’s ideals, triggered by a lonely, orphaned kitten. Dieselmech may have the naivety of a child, but his strength is no joke. While still a force to be reckoned with in battle, he is beginning to learn the value of aiding others.

Diesel Legacy: The Brazen Age takes the classic fighting game formula and flips it on its head by placing 2v2 local and online co-op matches front and center in the arena. The game features distinctly unique playable characters, multiple varied stages and an innovative three-lane system, offering several methods of attack for each team all against a hand-drawn Dieselpunk backdrop.

Thanks to RealMatch™ rollback netcode, matches are virtually lag-free, making each punch feel seamless in each online match. Diesel Legacy: The Brazen Age also features comprehensive training and story modes for players to refine their skills against AI opponents.

Diesel Legacy: The Brazen Age will launch on PC, PlayStation® 5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch later this year.
