World of Warships is going full steam ahead into 2024 with U.S. Aircraft Carriers coming to Early Access, plenty of in-game events, and the return of Hololive Production

January 9^th, 2024 – Wargaming, the publisher and developer of the leading naval battle MMO World of Warships, is kicking off the New Year with a new line of U.S. Aircraft Carriers in Early Access. The game’s first update of 2024 also sees the continued construction of Italian cruiser Michelangelo in the Dockyard, a new take on Bounty Hunt, and the return of popular Hololive Production collaboration content. As well as a return of Ranked Battles and Brawls.

U.S. Aircraft Carriers land in Early Access

Kicking off Update 13.0 is a new line of U.S. Aircraft Carriers in Early Access, adding three new ships, Tier VI Independence, Tier VIII Yorktown, and Tier X Essex. This range of ships play differently, as they are limited to one standard squadron, the torpedo bombers supplemented with two tactical squadrons consisting of attack and dive bomber aircraft. Starting at Tier VIII, the tactical squadrons are equipped with the new Smoke Curtain Generator consumable, allowing them to bring a new tactical depth in battle.

To mark this new line, a special U.S. Aircraft Carriers event will be taking place. Progressing through 20 levels of daily and weekly missions, players can unlock an array of rewards including commemorative flags, camouflages, and Containers. But it doesn’t end there, as players will have the option to unlock an additional progression line packed with 20 more levels.

Bounty Hunt, Brawls and Battles galore!

The latest iteration of the Bounty Hunt event is set to return to the game from 1 February 2024. Packed with plenty of rewards, four new achievements, major changes, and access to the Star Emissaries collection, this version is not to be missed! Available via random bundles, players can unlock a number of bonuses and Star Emissaries content including two different ships, STAR Kitakaze and STAR Edinburgh, and two Commanders each equipped with 10 skill points.

Update 13.0 welcomes Season 15 and the return of Ranked Battles on 10 January, and three new Brawls commence from 15 January. As always, Brawls will see varying rule sets to challenge the most daring of teams in their pursuit of naval dominance!

For those looking to complete something a bit less combative and a bit more constructive, the building continues at the Sestri Ponente Dockyard, rewarding dedicated players with Tier IX Italian cruiser Michelangelo.

Hololive Production returns to World of Warships

As part of Update 13.0, World of Warships welcomes back Hololive Production to the game with a resale of top content! Popular VTubers such as Shishiro Botan, Moona Hoshinova, Takanashi Kiara, Watson Amelia and more will once again be available as Commanders, ready to lead fleets to victory. Running for two weeks from February 2, 2024, the resale will also include consumable skins, flags, and a camo bundle for Hololive Production fans to enjoy.

An overview video for Update 13.0 can be viewed below. The full patch notes are linked here.

Sins of the Flesh, the next free update for cute cult sim Cult of the Lamb, will offer loyal Followers a slew of worldly pleasures across PC, PlayStation 4|5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch on January 16. To celebrate the release, Cult of the Lamb will also be blessed with a 40% discount for one week (Jan 16-23).

In its biggest and most wicked content update yet, the Cult’s tendrils extend even further with a blasphemous beneficence of quests, features, improvements and a deliciously evil new resource that rewards those leaders prepared to yield to the Sins of the Flesh.

The update arrives alongside news that Cult of the Lamb’s flock continues to swell, having now sold over 3.5 million copies since its launch in 2022. Praise the Lamb!
 
Sins and Disciples
New progression systems add more depth and complexity to managing the Cult of the Lamb. By following the sinful path, your followers will delight in gluttonous rituals, vain buildings, and wrathful doctrines. Invite your most loyal Followers to the inner circle of Disciples, a revamped levelling system of Follower progression.
 
Better Cult Life
Shiny poop, baneful brooms, and bigger, better buildings improve busy Cult life. Shiny poops have special effects, like yielding fruitful crops and adding XP to your broom. Levelling up your broom will make chores faster and more effective. To improve automation, there’s also a new tier for the Janitor Station and the Storage Structures so your Followers will take better care of themselves.
 
Ready, Aim, Fire
Blast heretics away with the new Blunderbuss weapon. When loaded, it fires big damage in close quarters to bring a new combat playstyle for your crusades. If you charge it up even more with a heavy attack, you can aim to snipe enemies from long range.
 
Outfits, Options and Offspring!
Each of your cultists can flaunt their Follower fashion at the new Tailor building. Once unlocked, each cultist can wear their own outfit, with 23 different styles to choose from. But your Cult is getting even more unique. When two Followers love each other very much, they might find an egg. Nurture the egg for it to hatch, then care for the offspring until they’re ready to pledge allegiance to your Cult!

The third-person terrifying adventure inspired by Indonesian folklore and urban legend is finally making its way to the Switch

Singapore – January 5th, 2024  – Singapore-based publisher Soft Source Publishing and  Indonesian developer Digital Happiness are pleased to announce the digital release of DreadOut 2  via the Nintendo eShop on 18th January 2024.

A popular franchise in Indonesia since the first DreadOut release in 2014, Nintendo Switch owners will finally get their hands on the latest entry in the series that was originally released in 2020 –  the game deemed too scary for Western audiences. Play as Linda, a high school student with a supernatural power – the ability to sense and see ghosts.

Using this power, Linda must hunt the nightmarish spirits and dark forces that threaten not only her hometown but all of mankind. This spine-chilling sequel expands on the cult hit original with all-new melee combat and a greater emphasis on puzzles and exploration, with the ability to use Linda’s smartphone as a weapon against the evil entities setting DreadOut 2 apart from other horror releases. 

• Banish them all! Hunt and defeat intangible ghosts with Linda’s smartphone camera, or use melee weapons and projectiles against physical ghosts
• A world of dread: Explore Linda’s hometown and beyond, talk to residents (alive and dead!), complete side-quests, and delve deeper into DreadOut lore
• Discover ghosts and urban legends: Search out spirits and uncover local myths to complete the Ghostpedia app on Linda’s smartphone
• Terrifying boss spirits: Keep your nerve as you battle the supernatural realm’s most hostile ghosts, including the chilling Kuntilanak, and horrifying Gore Surgeon

“With Dreadout 2, we really wanted to build on what makes this horror franchise unique,” said Rachmad Imron of Digital Happiness. “This sequel contains more Indonesian folklore found through its enemy design and throughout the story, and of course, plenty of emphasis on the smartphone mechanic. We’re excited that the game is coming to Switch, and we think that players will enjoy the many improvements over the original game.” 

“We’re extremely excited that more players will soon be able to get their hands on DreadOut 2,” said Bernard Lim of Soft Source Publishing. “We and the team at Digital Happiness are very proud of the game and its success in Asia, and I’m particularly interested to see what Switch owners in the west make of it!”

About Digital Happiness

Digital Happiness is a video game entertainment company based in Bandung, West Java, Indonesia established in 2013. The original DreadOut was their first crowdfunding project back in 2013 and has expanded into different mediums from video games, and comics to live-action movie adaptations.

PORTLAND, Ore. – January 5, 2024 – GS2 Games announced today that the retail (packaged) version of Daymare: 1994 Sandcastle will be coming to the Xbox Series X and Xbox One on April 9th, 2024. Long suffering Xbox players in desperate need of an early 2024 zombie fix will finally be able to experience one of the most innovative weapons ever put into an FPS – the Frostgrip. Said Bloody Disgusting’s Reyna Cervantes, “What’s neat about this item is not only is it used in combat but exploration as well. During combat I could shoot out blasts of ice to completely freeze an enemy and shatter them with a satisfying animation. The Frost Grip quickly becomes a tool of crowd control that leans more into an action movie feel. The Frost Grip is also used during exploration, allowing Reyes to stop fire or white hot pipes to progress through the environment. It’s such a cool item that I seriously hope Invader brings it back for potential future installments.”

Daymare: 1994 Sandcastle is a prequel to the critically acclaimed Daymare:1998. It follows Dalila Reyes, a special agent in the Hexacore Advanced Division for Extraction and Search (H.A.D.E.S.) unit as she investigates a sprawling, sinister military research facility buried deep underground. Dalila’s goal is uncovering the truth behind the horrors in the labyrinthine facility, if she can survive long enough to complete her mission. Along with mind-bending environmental puzzles around every turn, she’ll face blood-curdling monstrosities with only death on their mind – and who aren’t willing to stay dead.

Daymare: 1994 Sandcastle was created by Invaders Studios, an Italian independent software house based in the Roman countryside whose team is united by the passion for the survival horror genre. The game was co-written by renowned Italian movie director and writer, Fabio Guaglione, who wrote and directed the psychological survival movie, “Mine,” (starring Armie Hammer), the Netflix hit, “My Name is Vendetta, and wrote the innovative horror-thriller, “Ride,” the first horror movie filmed entirely in GoPro.
