MILESTONE AND MotoGP ANNOUNCE THE RELEASE OF MotoGP 24

Sydney, Australia, May 3, 2024Milestone and MotoGP™ are thrilled to announce the release of MotoGP™24.The newest chapter of the official MotoGP™ videogame is now available for PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch™, and Steam

Watch the MotoGP™24 launch trailer below:

Marking a turning point in the history of the franchise, MotoGP™24features the Riders Market for the first time, meeting one of the longest-awaited requests by its community. Starting this year, riders of all categories have the opportunity to change teams, including promotion between classes. This way, players will see roster updates in every in-game season, thus finding new exciting challenges and scenarios to experience every year. The possibilities are endless, as both the AI and players might be offered to change teams based on their performance on track. Moreover, replicating the dynamics of actual negotiations, the choices of AI-controlled riders will not only be determined by the current values of the other bikes on the grid, but future perspectives will count as well. For instance, if a mid-table team obtains steadily convincing performances proving to be on the upswing, it might be able to sign a top rider despite not being an immediate contender for the title. Importantly, the Riders Market adds to the turning points, rivalries, and the fictional social network introduced last year to create a journey revolving around the performances and choices of each player. The Riders Market will follow and accentuate such a philosophy; the evolution of rivalries as well as likes and replies on the fictional social network will indeed fuel rumours about possible future transfers, which players will be able to monitor through a dedicated menu of the career mode.

Bringing the gaming experience to blur with real-life racing even more, MotoGP™24 also introduces the MotoGP™ Stewards. Throughout the weekend, they will supervise the race and any timed sessions, disciplining riders and AI equally for their actions on the circuit. Players and AI alike will face consequences for breaking the rules, ranging from Warnings to Long Lap or Time Penalties, as well as Let Pass orders in the event of unfair overtaking up to cancelled qualifying times. Interestingly, careless riding will further fuel the rivalries with other riders.

In addition to a refinement of the Neural Aids introduced last year, Milestone has developed a new Adaptive Difficulty system that will greatly help every player, from novices to experts. This brand-new solution takes into account a set of factors and measurements made in real time to calibrate the level of the opponents based on the performances of players over the course of races and sessions. This way, it provides a tailored gaming experience ensuring the race pace between contenders is always reasonable and consistent.

The Adaptive Difficulty will give all fans the chance to fully appreciate the AI and physics improvementsimplemented by the Milan-based team. The AIhas been refined to replicate the real riders’ approach to racing. Established champions will wait for the perfect moment to strike the winning attack, whereas Rookies will try to demonstrate their worth right away. Regarding the game physics, the management of both the corner entry and exit phases has been revised to design a much more forgiving gameplay compared to the previous instalments. Thanks to a smoother power delivery system, players can now reach the edge of physics possibilities in a more controlled way, having more opportunities to show their gaming skills while enjoying the highest realism. Tyre management has also changed to guarantee that all compounds perform on each track while maintaining a distinct feel for each type.

On the multiplayer side, the LiveGP* Championships enhances the MotoGP™24 online experience. It’s a new multiplayer mode created for the most competitive players who are called to climb the overall Championship leaderboard by scoring points at dedicated events. Also, Cross-play**allows fans to challenge each other regardless of their platform and console generation, right from day one. Offline, the 2-player local split-screen is available for PlayStation, Xbox, and Steam versions.

Finally, MotoGP™24 unleashes players’ creativity through four powerful editors for helmets, stickers, racing numbers,and butt patches,with the possibility to share creations online across different platforms***.

Featuring all the official riders and tracks of the 2024 season for the MotoGP™, Moto2™, and Moto3™ categories, as well as the FIM Enel MotoE™ World Championship, MotoGP™24 is now available forPlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch™, and Steam.

Undead Inc. Launches on PC today

EXTRACTION IMMINENT. IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED. UNDEAD INC. OUT NOW

Rightsized Games’ debut title welcomes players to start their very own, entirely above board and 100% legal, Endswell Medical franchise on PC today.

Thursday, 2nd May 2024 – Rightsized Games and Team17 Digital have today launched rogue-like resource management sim Undead Inc. on PC. Stepping into the role of managing director of their very own Endswell Medical franchise, players will be tasked with growing the business, stuffing the coffers, and meeting the demands of an increasingly hungry board of directors, all while keeping their reputation in check, the money flowing, and the bodies buried.

Experimental Viability Test Commencing:

As the public-facing arm of Endswell Medical keeps things running above ground (and above board) its nefarious underbelly is where the real transformative and lucrative magic happens. Players will research and develop bioweapons, questionable pharmaceuticals, and dangerous technology to put up for sale to the highest bidder, all while turning a blind eye to any… situations that may arise.

Of course, eventually the truth will out, and to continue Endswell Medical’s ambitious growth strategy, players will have to uproot their operation, grabbing armfuls of money, equipment, and other unmentionables on the way out – enough to help establish a brand-new corporation in a new location – and start the cycle anew.

Undead Inc. Key Features  

  • Research above all: The money won’t make itself, and the most lucrative adventures require a less than ethical path: Deadly bioweapons, questionable pharmaceuticals, illegal technology – nothing is off the table 
  • All about the base: Choose from several different biomes to build a base of operations, each with its own opportunities and challenges  
  • The end comes for us all: Eventually, the directors’ crimes will catch up with them, so prepare to flee with as much cash, biomass, and research to fund the next Big Pharma in the next town over 
  • Management is key to success: Hiring the cheapest labour might sound like a good fit, but ultimately, loose lips sink ships – the right person in the right position can spell the difference between success and a bioweapon on the loose  
  • The Director will see you now: Being at the top is tough, and choosing the right director to stand at the helm of the newest Endswell Medical franchise is imperative to success, each on boasts their own special abilities, buffs, and back stories.  

About Rightsized Games 

Established in 2018, and based in Stockholm, Sweden, Rightsized Games’ focus is delivering the best experiences they know. Their debut title, Undead Inc., is currently in development.  

About Team17 Digital

Founded in 1990, Team17 Digital is a leading developer, video games label, and creative partner for developers around the world.
