Underwater creatures have become more frequent, and more interesting. Aquatic life inhabits the full depth of the ocean, and unique terrifying creatures can be encountered on the ocean floor.

Two Point Hospital Sandbox Mode Trailer

October 26, 2018 – We know, we know… You’re engrossed in the sand-swept lands of another game we shan’t name today… But we’ve got a sand-filled (ahem) announcement of our own. Sandbox: Freeplay is making a TwitchCon debut today in Two Point Hospital, and will get a public release next week.

Initially adding the ability to tweak hospitals in a range of ways (rename, unlock every option, and get the Kudosh rolling in, if you’re so inclined), “Sandbox: Freeplay” is the first in a line of planned Sandbox updates for Two Point Hospital, with the studio looking to the community to help shape this feature with their feedback. To celebrate, Two Point Studios have just released a new feature-tastic trailer:

If you’ve been bitten by the Halloween-craze bug, we have the perfect prescription for the next week. Two Point Hospital: Spooooooky Mode includes cases of Frightheadedness, a spooooooky soundtrack and more to enjoy while you eat all the sweets you were definitely going to hand out to the neighbourhood kids trick-or-treating.

Since its release in August, Two Point Hospital has seen over a billion patients cured …and only 150 million callously allowed to die, but we won’t mention those. With such an engaged community, Two Point Studios have taken feedback on board to add new features, such as copy-paste room layouts (for a quick cure to the queues outside your GP’s office) and full staff and patient customization, and are looking to collaborate with players to shape future updates.

In Two Point Hospital, the competition for the top healthcare provider in Two Point County is fierce. To become the best Hospital Administrator, players will have to prove themselves in a diverse assortment of hospital management challenges. Design your hospitals, train and manage staff with their own… unique personalities, and research treatments for very normal illnesses such as Mock Star, Jest Infection or Cubism.

Two Point Hospital is available on Steam and from SEGA approved digital retailers. For more information about all things Two Point Hospital sign up for our Hospital Pass newsletter at www.twopointhospital.com where you will receive the coveted in-game item, the Golden Toilet. You can also follow the game’s progress on YouTube, Facebook and Twitter. For more information about SEGA Europe, log on to www.sega.co.uk, follow us on Facebook or on Twitter.

Call of Cthulhu Launch Trailer

October 26, 2018 – What lies beyond the veil, scratching at our eyeballs but just out of vision, a terrifying nightmare we simply cannot see? Peer into clear dreams and the murky past in the Call of Cthulhu Launch Trailer, ahead of release on Tuesday, October 30. With music by Black Mirror, Utopia, and The Girl With All The Gifts composer Cristobal Tapia De Veer, the trailer is your last look into the void before release.

An official adaptation of Chaosium’s pen & paper RPG, Call of Cthulhu combines investigation gameplay with the unparalleled narratives of Lovecraft’s renowned Cthulhu mythos. What mysteries will you, as private investigator Edward Pierce, uncover on the too-quiet island of Darkwater off the coast of Boston?

Call of Cthulhu casts you in that role – a struggling alcoholic, tortured by the past, haunted by PTSD and strange visions, Pierce is a dogged investigator with a desire to find the truth. Contracted by the father of the late Sarah Hawkins to look into the mysterious fire that engulfed her mansion and killed her family, Pierce is immediately surrounded by distrustful locals and dead ends on Darkwater. Pressing on, his world begins to unravel as reality breaks down, and dreams become reality… All the while, the Great Dreamer prepares its awakening.

Call of Cthulhu releases for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC on October 30. Digital and retail pre-orders are available on PC and consoles.

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald to be Released in ScreenX

Los Angeles, CA (October 24, 2018) – CJ 4DPLEX (www.cj4dx.com), the world’s leading cinema technology company, announced today that one of the year’s most anticipated films, Warner Bros. Pictures’ “Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald,” will be released in ScreenX, bringing the Wizarding World™ to the big screen for the first time ever in the immersive, one-of-a-kind format. The all-new adventure comes to ScreenX theaters worldwide beginning November 16

“Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald” is the third film in a multi-picture agreement between Warner Bros. Pictures and CJ 4DPLEX, following the globally successful ScreenX engagements of the blockbusters “The Meg” and “The Nun.” The ScreenX slate continues in December with the much-anticipated undersea epic “Aquaman,” followed by the first solo feature of fan-favorite “Shazam!” in April 2019.

ScreenX is the world’s first multi-projection theatre technology that allows a 270-degree panoramic movie watching experience. ScreenX allows the audience to go beyond the frame of the traditional movie screen, utilizing a proprietary system to expand the center screen image to the side walls, surrounding audiences with imagery and providing a sense of being inside the movie.

“We are thrilled to bring the ScreenX experience to ‘Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald’ through our partnership with Warner Bros. Pictures,” stated CJ 4DPLEX. “We are certain the expansive, 270-degree screen will immerse audiences in the Wizarding World as never before and deliver all the magic, mystery and adventure this much-anticipated epic has to offer.”

Thomas Molter, EVP of International Distribution, Warner Bros. Pictures, added, “We’re excited to continue our relationship with CJ 4DPLEX on this new ‘Fantastic Beasts’ adventure.  The Wizarding World has always been a thrilling destination for fans, but this will be their first opportunity to experience this magical universe with the full immersion of ScreenX.”

ScreenX has quickly enhanced its international reach, successfully screening Hollywood blockbusters and local feature films alike, including a record of five Hollywood blockbusters released in ScreenX this year. In the past 12 months alone, ScreenX has seen a surge in the number of ScreenX installed auditoriums, which have grown to 164, a more than 30% increase year-over-year and will nearly double its footprint with the recently announced expansion plan with the Cineworld Group to open 100 locations across the U.S. and Europe.
