A new game mode provides fresh ways to frantically fix cars 

UKRAINE – Dec. 11, 2023 – Speed Crew, the high-octane party game from the AAA veterans at Ukrainian publisher Wild Fields, races onto PlayStation 4|5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam with the new Dominion Mode starting Monday, Jan. 31, 2024.

The race is on! Join a family of misfit mechanics as they compete against their long-time rivals in small garages, dirt roads, torn up junk yards, and more across different generations. Wield sledge hammers, wrenches, plungers as a pit crew, and use workbenches to replace, repair, and refuel everything from rally cars to drag racers. Play solo or cooperatively with up to three other mechanics thanks to crossplay between platforms.

Quickly coordinate to complete each task as efficiently as possible. Diagnose the situation and plan the best course of action, fixing wrecked cars to get them back on track. Each event unveils new challenges and obstacles to overcome, including pouring rain and lightning strikes, conveyor belts zipping away essential objects, and even canals full of floating boxes to navigate around. Successful runs unlock new characters, new costumes, and higher sponsor levels.

Compete in the classic Campaign Mode, working together to beat the other pit crews to rise to the top of the leaderboards. Go head-to-head against a group of mechanics in Dominion Mode. Take on the role of the Dominion saboteur, using tools and power ups to disrupt the flow of car repairs by stunning players, disabling equipment, rigging the track, and more. Endure the attacks of the maniacal mechanic, or fight back by landing blows and stunning them in their tracks.

“We noticed a lack of cooperative gaming options for groups of friends and family members to positively interact with one another,” said Daniel Poludyonny, General Manager, Wild Fields. “Speed Crew is meant to bring all types of gamers together regardless of skill level, and that is what we hope to accomplish.”

Speed Crew is currently available on Nintendo Switch for $19.99/€19.99, and localized in text for English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Traditional Chinese, and Ukrainian.

Players who have purchased the Ultimate Edition will receive both DLC heroes to lead their Stormcast Eternals and Orruk Kruleboyz armies.

Today, Frontier Developments (‘Frontier’) invite players of Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin to add powerful new heroes to their arsenal with the launch of two Hero DLC. The all-powerful Stormcast Eternals champion Yndrasta, The Celestial Spear and the cunning Orruk Kruleboyz shaman Gobsprakk, The Mouth of Mork, are available from today for PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, PlayStation® 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Each Hero DLC will also be available separately for £3.99/$4.99/€4.99, as well as part of a bundle for £6.99/$8.99/€8.99.

Both pieces of DLC introduce a new playable Age of Sigmar hero, who can be rotated into the army loadout in place of either the Stormcast Eternals Lord-Celestant, or the Orruk Kruleboyz Killaboss on Gnashtoof. These heroes can be used in Skirmish, Multiplayer and Conquest Mode, introducing new strategic options for both factions as they vie for control of the Realm of Beasts.

Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin – Yndrasta, The Celestial Spear. Yndrasta’s passive ability ‘Dazzling Radiance’ provides immediate healing and a movement speed bonus to nearby allies after using an ability, whilst ‘Huntress Charge’ propels her to the skies before slamming into foes, dealing damage and stunning any who are caught in the fray. Her legendary spear, Thengavar, can be thrown to a location – dealing immediate damage as well as summoning Sigmar’s fury to increase the melee speed of allies in the area.

Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin – Gobsprakk, The Mouth of Mork introduces the Orruk Kruleboyz first flying unit, Gobsprakk, capable of unleashing terror from atop his Corpse-Rippa Vulcha, Killabeak. His passive ability ‘Mouth of Mork’ provides allies with improved movement and melee speed, reduced cooldowns as long as Gobsprakk isn’t in combat. Meanwhile the ‘Rippa Screech’ active ability unleashes the power of his mount, aiming a cone of damage at foes and an AoE effect beneath him, revealing, silencing and damaging enemies over time.

These powerful new heroes can also be posed in dioramas built in Realms of Ruin’s extensive Map Editor, where players can sculpt their own shareable gameplay maps and create scenes showing the full ferocity of battle.

Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin is available digitally for PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, PlayStation® 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Alongside the Ultimate Edition, players can purchase the Standard Edition for a suggested retail price of £49.99/$59.99/€59.99 and the Deluxe Edition for £59.99/$69.99/€69.99. The physical edition of Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin, meanwhile, will release on 27^th February 2024 for PlayStation® 5 and Xbox Series X|S only, and will include both Hero DLCs.

Both Hero DLCs are bundled with the Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin – Ultimate Edition, which has a suggested retail price of £64.99/$74.99/€74.99. Each Hero DLC will also be available separately for £3.99/$4.99/€4.99, as well as part of a bundle for £6.99/$8.99/€8.99, and will require a copy of the base game to play.

And finally, ATLUS have shared new story and character details for Metaphor: ReFantazio.

• Story
  • Our story takes place in The United Kingdom of Euchronia, where the assassination of the king brings chaos and unrest to the land. Then, one fateful day, a magic known only to the king called the Royal Magic is invoked, and the world becomes embroiled in a royal tournament for the throne. In the midst of this, the protagonist, together with his partner, the fairy Galica, must find a way to break the curse that has been placed on the prince that the kingdom believes to be dead. To do so, they depart on a journey across the vast land. They will discover that in order to achieve their goal, they must participate in the tournament for the throne, and this great task shall require them to ally with many friends and followers of the various tribes inhabiting the world.

• Protagonist
  • Together with the fairy, Galica, he embarks on a journey to lift the deadly curse placed on his childhood friend, the prince of Euchronia. He is a boy of the elda tribe, branded as a “tainted” people by the state religion who believe they have inherited dangerous and heretical magic. Being so rare among the populous, they are detested and discriminated against throughout the kingdom.” 

• Gallica
• Not only a travelling companion, Gallica is the guide who helps the protagonist carry out his mission to save the prince. Although she is too small to participate in battles, her knowledge of magic and ability to sense magla is superior to the protagonist due to her fairy nature. She doesn’t mince words, but she is a reassuring ally on his journey.

• Strohl
• He is a young man of the clemar tribe who meets the protagonist in the recruitment centre for the State Army. A smart young man with a strong sense of justice, he hails from a noble family. And yet, it seems his circumstances are complicated, as it is rare for a noble to enlist in the army alongside commoners. 

• Hulkenberg
• A knight of the roussainte tribe and former member of the royal family’s Kingsguard who served by the prince’s side. Despite her young age, she excelled in the use of various weaponry and was assigned to the personal guard of the prince. But when the prince was attacked, she failed to protect him and set out to wander, carrying the stigma of this failure in her heart.

• Heismay
• A former knight of the eugief tribe. He has acute perception compared to most others, due in part to the eugief trait of being sensitive to sound. With an appearance that differs greatly from other tribes, it’s not uncommon for eugiefs to be discriminated against—and it seems Heismay is no exception, his past his own burden to bear.

• New Concept Art
• Journey through a vast and magnificent fantasy world. Explore the game alongside an intuitive and beautiful UI that elevates the experience. (Get an exciting sneak peek of the look of Metaphor: ReFantazio with new concept art pieces)

Metaphor ReFantazio will be available on Xbox Series X, PlayStation 5, and PlayStation 4.

Persona 3 Reload

ATLUS shared new gameplay trailer about their upcoming RPG remake Persona 3 Reload in the new “The Meaning of Life” trailer. Follow the S.E.E.S. as they fight to save the world and balance their daily high school lives while exploring the deep complexities of existence in the newest trailer!

Watch the new trailer below:

Persona 3 Reload will launch on 2^nd February 2024 for Xbox Series X, Xbox One, PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 and is now available for pre-order.
